context_section_description: The album's cover artwork was illustrated by Village Green based on ideas and concepts conceived by James Allan.  The design is inspired by Vincent van Gogh's 1889 painting The Starry Night. James Allan favoured the comparison between the painting and the band's sound, for their "tranquility, but fury as well."
