The Up Rising
The mighty Last Crack return with a comeback album 28 years later, which could have easily been an immediate follow-up to their 1991 magnum opus Burning Time. Truly a unique metal band. No one sounds like Last Crack, and Last Crack sounds like no one. Check them out on Spotify or Amazon Prime and hear for yourself. Or shell out a few bucks to support the band and purchase at lastcrackmusic.com.
I was extremely fortunate and very much honored to create the art to visually represent their music. Below you'll find artwork for their LP, CD and CD booklet.
My goal with the art was to create an experience. Growing up in the 70's and 80's, my fondest memories of new music was the initial listening session in my bedroom, accompanied by the art and lyrics to help guide me through the musician's vision. The kind of experience one would have with Iron Maiden's Powerslave or Pink Floyd's The Wall. There's a story in the artwork. Not the kind of slap-you-in-the-face-duh story, but rather a story which can only benefit from your imagination. I implore you to go online and order a copy of this fantastic album, and take part in the experience. Stay metal, Behance. \m/
