Those Damn Crows Point Of No Return Album artwork and pre order

August 27, 2019 by ASYLUMseventy7 Leave a Comment

When you get the call to work with one of the best independent rock/metal labels in the UK if not the world, you know it will lead to some very cool artwork and some great music to inspire it. This was definitely one of those cases when Earache Records got in touch to work on the second album by up and coming rock band Those Damn Crows, produced by Colin Richardson at Andy Sneaps studio In Ripley Derbyshire UK.

After being contacted by Dan Tobin (label manager) and working a few rough sketches based on the album title, we were later introduced to the bands lead singer Shane who told us a bit more about the concept of the second album by the band. We talked over their likes and dislikes of the current draft of sketches and decided to pursue a more icon/geometric approach with a modernised 80s retro aesthetic much like the Netflix show Stranger Things. This first attempt hit home and we nailed down the cover over night.

To fit this new art the label and band were keen to work on a new more solid logo, A standard black and white version can be seen below with the styled up version gracing the cover art and social media banners.
