This is the second concept for Eibol Music‘s New Fast Automatic album. Their upcoming release is a hip–hop album comprised mostly of synths and hard–knocking drums. The lyrics map out a time where the world has built its society based on technological advancements but ponders the likely outcome of technological failure.

Concept 2

The second concept shows an X–ray snapshot of two hands. While on the exterior, both hands would appear similar, the snapshot reveals that one is man and one is machine. The human hand is reaching for help, representing man’s unknowing dependence on machine/technology. The roaches crawling on the skeleton of the machine symbolise the invisible decay of technology and man’s impending doom—the consequence of relying so heavily on something approaching death.

This is a work–in–progress.
The first concept for the same album can be viewed here.

Yesterday, I started working on an album cover for Eibol Music. Their upcoming release is a hip–hop album comprised mostly of synths and hard–knocking drums. The lyrics map out a time where the world has built its society based on technological advancements but ponders the likely outcome of technological failure.

Concept 1

The first concept displays the world post–failure. Mankind’s pride and ambition (marked by a tendency to build enormous, lasting versions of the self) has crumbled away. The decay mimics and distorts The Creation of Adam—not even The Hand of God‘s touch is immune to time, the damage subsequently halting Creation.

A figure and their child watch the sunset (or sunrise?) over an abandoned city and think of the past and future.
