When he's not touring or recording with Monstrosity or Vile, vocalist Mike Hrubovcac is creating ghoulish and ghastly art work for with his company Visual Darkness and sending some of it our way for "Nightmare Visions."
This week, he emailed us some nauseating cover art he designed for Cerebral Incubation. Click "more" to view the art and read what was going on in Hrubovcac's demented mind.
This cover was created for the band Cerebral Incubation on SoulFlesh Collector Records out of Russia. The album was recorded by Randy Thompson of Guttural Secrete.
The band originally wanted a sunny desolate desert scene with a girl left mutilated to rot in the middle of nowhere. It would have been more of a creepy scene with only the one dismembered body as the focus amongst the landscape. Seeing as how I've done hot desert mutilation scenes like that before, (Guttural Secrete, Awaiting the Autopsy, etc.) I recommended something a bit different by changing the scene to a cold, desolate beach. I think this gives it a more eerie or gloomy atmosphere, with dead sea creatures, drift wood and debris littering the beach. Instead of the hot desert feel, its more of a cold, wet and dirty feel. The poor victim lies stuffed in a barrel, dismembered and left to be slowly consumed by crabs, seagulls and eventually the eroding tide of the dead ocean itself.
