Melancholia

A silence deeper than space blanketed the trees. The eternal shadow of the eclipsed sun cast gloomy tones of blue and black. The caliginous landscape was twisted with the dark shapes of pine trees and stone as crows flew in silent shadows above. The cold air whipped around embedding itself deep within my bones. The enviroment around manifested itself within my flesh. Creating a melancholy fog of low thoughts and languid movements.
Been a while since I have created a personal piece for the purpose of album artwork. Made this piece in tribute to the very gloomy English weather that (after weeks on end without sun) creates a feeling as described above. Fortunately we have had good weather for the past few days. Inspired by the dark tones and naturalistic eerie beauty of black metal covers.
