Colour scheme continues through for the art on the opposite side of the CD, showing the evil scientist with his undead army walking towards a city. This could be conceived as a prequel artwork to the art for the front cover (scientist is already in the city on front side).Apocalyptic theme showing synergy throughout all of the artists album covers.

Other colours used: Oranges, yellows for meteors impacting the earth.The spacey theme fits with the artist as they’re known for their space sounding riffs.

Logo/name of the band – Generic font for death metal band

Title/name of album – More regular font used

Colour scheme consists of shades of blues, black and purple, showing a relation to the last release. The Main image shows the evil scientist with his undead (now alien looking) army killing what looks like an astronaut. The space theme also continues through as you can quite clearly tell from the monolith like buildings, and the ships flying through the atmosphere. Looking in the background there is a planet that we can assume is the destroyed Earth from the last album art, now completely dead. The connotation of darker blues suggest knowledge and power which can been seen through the scientists control over the undead aliens, and the fact that through the album art story he’s managed to take over and destroy the earth

“Dark blue represents knowledge, power, integrity, and seriousness”.“Dark purple evokes gloom and sad feelings. It can cause frustration”.
