The vocals from Ashen Skies really reminded me of Kin's vocals from Twelve Foot Ninja.

AI is much better than larping in the woods behind the strip mall with a plastic sword and an iPhone. As awesome as that sounds it never translates well to the album cover. 😂 AI still requires a fair amount of creativity and getting it right can be painfully time consuming (or not). This one looked good. I would buy it.

Thank you so much for featuring Van666 on your channel! It's a huge honor. I'm a big fan of your channel. I didn't have the budget to commission a professional artist, and I wasn't prepared to spend money I didn't have on artwork when that money could be used for more important things. Rather than abandon the project or compromise the album itself, I decided to experiment with AI as a creative tool.
The concept for the artwork came from my son, and I developed that concept into the final cover. The idea was to create something that represented the themes of the album and the confrontation between organised religion and its critics.
I personally like the result, and I believe it gives the album its own identity.
I also understand that some people hate it.
That's fine.
The music is 100% human except for the programmed drums. 🤘

Hey man!
Can you please recommend me some music?
I'm looking for progressive death metal – yet something powerful and unforgettable, something like:
Disillusion – Back To Times of Splendor
IOTUNN – Kinship
Ne Obliviscaris – Exul
Thanks in advance!

Heck ya man, always love these videos, saves me some time scrolling thru bandcamp (although I do anyway ha). I was only listening to this video and not watching while I work, so it took about 5 minutes before I happened to glance down and notice you cut your hair 😅. Anyway, love the channel dude 🤘🏻
