COUGH - "Ritual Abuse"
Cough describe their latest opus thus : "Ritual Abuse is the result of all the shit and suffering we put ourselves through to continue to write this music. Hopefully you all feel as miserable listening to it as we did creating it."
This was needed fast, so I pretty much went on gut instinct for this one, taking literal cues from certain lyrics along the way, although "70's styled Satanism" was the starting point. I had originally planned to paint the background textures, but flat colour seemed starker and I was afraid of the artwork becoming indistinct at CD size, though Cough fans should definitely seek out the gatefold vinyl version of this which has a bonus track.
