Tips and Hints

  •          The theme of the album is transcendant experience, including religion, spirituality, drug induced euphoria, dreams, and psychology.

  •          You can represent one of the tracks on the album, the overall concept, or just do what you’re inspired to do
  •          Your art should incorporate the title of the album and our band logo (or provide space for us to add them)
  •          Check out the covers of our existing albums to see what we’ve used in the past!


Good luck!
