Nemesis Divina - Album Art

Album Art

The album cover artwork for Nemesis Divina, designed by Halvor Bodin and Stein Løken, has been considered fairly revolutionary by the standards of black metal at the time. The band commented, "The standard, back then, was dodgy amateur photos and miserable looking fonts". Decibel magazine commented that the cover "resembled more a piece out of Dave McKean's workshop than art Xeroxed at dad's office Rich with color and symbolism, the high-end design broke seriously sacred ground".

    London, thou art the flour of Cities all”
