The cover of Symphony of Rage by Anna KiaRa features a fiery-haired woman in a black dress and crown, set against the backdrop of a gothic castle. Her form partially disintegrates into ash, revealing a shadowy, mirrored version of herself. The dark, mystical atmosphere is intensified by dramatic lighting and the album's ornate, orange serif typography

Set against a radiant background that shifts from soft pinks to deep purples and reds, the imagery is framed by intertwining branches and cosmic elements. The band’s name appears in a bold, calligraphic script in the top right, while the album title is written below in cursive.
