Alongside the core details, At The Gates are also very excited to reveal the cover artwork, with vocalist Tomas Lindberg in particular commenting on the contributions of Costin Chioreanu who they'd previously worked with for At War With Reality - "It has once again been an absolute pleasure working creativily with Costin. We had a lot of ideas for what we wanted to get across with the art this time around. Overall they were, not surprisingly, related to the general concept of the record. What is great with Costin is that he understands the band. He knows what we are and where we come from. And me and him also have a strong artistic connection. I have never met anyone that goes so deep into the world of my lyrics and concepts. When I first wrote to him describing my ideas, I was worried that my remarks were perhaps too long and too confusing, only to get back an even longer and very inspired response...".
