High Quality Photo of Album Front Cover "PARADOX - Product of Imagination- " |
The album cover for Paradox's Product of Imagination is a surreal and fiery artwork that immediately grabs attention. Dominated by shades of red, orange, and black, it features a swirling, abstract figure that resembles a distorted skull or face engulfed in intense flames or liquid movement, giving it a haunting, otherworldly appearance. In the background, meteors or comets streak across the sky, adding a sense of impending doom and chaos. The Paradox logo is positioned in the upper right corner, alongside the album title, in a sharp, angular font that complements the intense visual. This cover, designed by Joe Petagno, captures the ferocity and high energy of the music within, aligning with the album's aggressive thrash metal themes. |
