Album artwork

As with all previous releases by the band, the cover art was done by front man Baizley and echoes themes seen on prior recordings that prominently feature scantily clad woman intertwined with scenes inspired by nature in a gold and grey color scheme, giving the album its name. The art work was leaked by music identifying app Shazam which forced Baizley to release it early on the band's Twitter account.[5][6] Шаблон:Blockquote
