I can finally share my latest cover design for Saint Slaughter's forthcoming new album, 'The Secret Speech'.

The band had a very specific vision which took a while to nail down, resulting in a many hours of design work before achieving the final piece you see below.

The method used was based on real photography twinned with digital drawing/design, using Photoshop and InDesign.

Having not looked at this for a few days now, I'm more than happy with the outcome, and I am sincerely delighted that the guys are happy with the overall design.

The album will be available from September 20th on all major streaming sties, as well as an official album launch event in Fibber Magees (on the day of the album's release) with special guests, Crossfire, Animator, and Snowblind.

Official event link can be found below...
