Misery Loves Co. – ”Zero”

Swedish industrial metal pioneers Misery Loves Co. released their fourth album, ”Zero”, on November 29, 2019 (via Black Lodge Records). It is the band’s first full-length since the critically acclaimed ”Your Vision Was Never Mine To Share” 19 years ago.

After working with the band for a long time with artwork, single covers, teasers, visuals, merch etc. the concept grew into something very dark and atmospheric, just like their characteristic sound. As a result, the design also reflects all aspects of their music from goth to alternative rock, from ambient soundscapes to pure death metal.

This commission involved both art direction, graphic design and packaging design, as well as additional photography.
