Soreption || Jord

Album Artwork 2022
Unique Leader Records
—
I have been eagerly anticipating releasing this new artwork for Soreption upcoming album “Jord” coming out via Unique Leader Records. I got to work with Soreption back in 2018 when they were signed to Sumerian for their release “Monument of the End.” That release was one of my first bigger projects, so getting to work with them 4 years later was a real pleasure.

“Jord” is Swedish for soil, so in this piece we have a depiction of a great machine slowly altering the natural world around it, seeping into the trees, the air and the soil. This is a continuation of the artwork from “Monument of the End” showing what can be after a cataclysmic event. While “Monument of the End” showed a desolate apocalyptic landscape, “Jord” is a lush eden covering the lifeless red sands.

Inspired by Romanticism paintings the foreground is a nod to one of the great painters of that era, Albert Biertstadt. We also went through several variations of the landscape and you can see one of the alternate drafts used in the layout at the end of this gallery.

I will be posting the full product spread for this release later this week. Check out the new single “Död Jord” streaming now on all major platforms. “Jord” will be released June 10th with pre-orders available now.
