Cover Art
The creator of the cover art is still unknown, but the aesthetic is very reminiscent of English alternative metal band Sleep Token.
The mask of the cult leader, which appears on the cover has been made into an Instagram filter, released on January 9th.[4]
The cover art contains a mysterious monogram, speculated to be linked to the album name. The monogram logo also makes subtle appearances throughout the music video, being on costumes and appearing as a car emblem.
