Polish artist
Maciej Kamuda has once more created the shadowy cover artwork, in a perfect visual representation of
BLUT AUS NORD's auditory nightmares. The aesthetic style of the "
Nahab” artwork explores more traditional depictions of horror and nightmares, in stark contrast to the more colorful and psychedelic picture adorning "
Undreamable Abysses”, the first part of the series.
Maciej comments:
"
The main inspiration here was, like with my previous cover, obviously H.P. Lovecraft as the new BAN album keeps exploring these nightmarish themes. It was planned to have something less complicated and detailed but with a specific dark atmosphere, less colorful and more mysterious – inspired by old black and white horror movies and with the vibe of an old photograph. The style from the first "Disharmonium" album did not really fit here. I always choose the aesthetic depending on the idea, it just has to compliment the whole concept in the best way possible. Because I am able to work in different styles and aesthetics, I can play around with it more and choose the technique that will bring the right atmosphere to the artwork. It is, in the end, a matter of how I feel the idea, honestly. The creative process indeed always is a process. This means there is a lot of decision making to get to the final product and to do it right!"
