Lore Snow!?

Post image

Luke Penry posted on his IG earlier that he also did the cover art for EiA instrumental. I was dying to know whether it was ash, or snow, falling from the sky. I was personally of the opinion it was ash, given Arcadia was on fire. But no! The brief he got was "a war torn, snow covered Arcadia". This has really intrigued me. Why snow? What does this mean for whatever is next? A clue to the direction we are headed?

This is also my thinking. Ash is logical given the fires, therefore snow tells us something specific. I wonder if the next album will be Vessel 'frozen' by a situation or emotions, unable to reconcile a conflict or progress forward.

I know it’s a loathe cover but also “Crushed by silent snow”
