The album cover for Imaginaerium - The Siege features a fantasy-inspired battle scene. A massive metallic sphere with intricate engravings and a fiery opening looms at the center, seemingly an otherworldly siege weapon. Surrounding it, Roman-style soldiers clad in red capes and armed with spears and shields advance through swirling blue mist. Towering stone fortresses, adorned with flags and statues, frame the scene, while the sky burns with a crimson inferno.
