Abominable #[nn]

Hermann's atmospheric cover for *Abominable* sets an unsettling mood immediately — a twisted, gnarled tree looms over a bloodied, fallen figure in a misty forest, rendered in Hermann's distinctive naturalistic line work. The scene pulses with dread and quiet menace, the tangled roots and reaching branches framing the carnage with an almost organic cruelty. Published by Erko in 2016, this album brings Hermann's singular vision fully to bear on a story titled "Das Massaker" — and the cover alone suggests he means every word of that title.
