Author: Professor Mark

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

The cover for Atomic Time – Out of the Loop features a layered collage of urban lights, mechanical textures, and a central portrait of a contemplative child resting their face in their hands. Blurred exposures and overlapping images. The palette leans heavily on sepia tones with flashes of white and amber light.

The album cover for Valhalore – Beyond the Stars features a radiant cosmic scene where a luminous humanoid figure stands at the center of an explosive galactic swirl. Streams of light and ethereal energy rise from the figure’s head, merging with nebulae and stardust. Floating celestial bodies and planetary debris orbit around them. The band’s name appears in ornate metallic lettering, while the album title glows subtly below.

The album cover for Pythia – V Pt. 1: Unhallowed features a fantasy warrior figure, cloaked and armed with a sword, standing at the edge of a barren, twisted forest. She gazes toward a swirling, fiery vortex in the sky. The palette is dominated by earth tones and fiery oranges

The album cover for Life Force by Darkyra features an illustration of a white dove and a black raven locked in a dynamic, circular dance. 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.
