Tera — Forerunner

The band Tera from Northern Ireland asked me to do the cd design for their album: Forerunner. They felt like there should be spaced, weird, weightless, somber, dark, nature/natural and sad elements to reflect their music in an image. This was mainly because of the story they bring forth with this album.

It’s a very personal album reflecting several things; like their atheist viewpoints and dislike to religious belief, sad events from 2 of the band members, general politics as well as their liberal views and their own rationalizations. All pretty daunting and heavy stuff.

A quick thank you from Tera:

We felt that your concepting was exceptional. It translated our ideas from words, to a dynamic, breathing image, that in every way was much more than we’d thought of. The sense of atmosphere that both images have reflect the veins in our music, and we are simply delighted with the result. Thanks Maarten — Tera
