The Voynich Code || Post Mortem
Album Artwork 2021
The first time I heard The Voynich Code I was absolutely hooked on their sound. I loved the atmospheric technical death metal paired with esoteric themes of ancient cultures. I remember proposing a merch design to them way back based on the artwork for Ignotum when I was first starting out. Fast forward to 2020 and here I am working on the artwork and design for their album "Post Mortem."
The concept was fairly straightforward, they wanted the composition to be like a Carvaggio painting with the face blurred out. The themes were based around the soul leaving the body and passing on. Various motifs such as the candle being blown out, the skull and dissected blueish form all lend towards the concept.
