Here is the full landscape artwork for Slow Decay. Vincent described his concept to me as "That feeling when you are going for a walk and it's all flowers, sun and birds and you come across a dead, decaying spot in the forest. I want the audience to feel that." I came up with the idea of incorporating slowly decaying sunflowers into the foreground, as the coniferous forest turns into a swampy wetland.

The Acacia Strain has played a big part on my music taste ever since I discovered their album Wormwood at my local library. Being able to bring their vision for this album to life was a dream come true. Not to mention being responsible for the entire design and execution of such a fresh and unique way of releasing music. I am very excited to finally release all of Slow Decay to everyone and share everything I have been working hard on. I will be revealing more of the design and concepts for the album layout and artwork in the weeks to come.
