“Ahah”, I thought, “this new metal album’s cover artwork is a superb emulation of ‘Ian Miller channelling Lovecraft'”.

Turns out, it’s actually by Ian Miller himself. His blog has the full cosmic vista…

Encyclopaedia Metallum reviews the album Anthronomicon, by the band Ulthar, and immediately finds…

“We’re off to battle right away against the Lovecraftian hordes!”

After that, it’s apparently much of the same old-school metal pace right through to the end. Delivered with all of the skill of a leading Californian metal band on their third album.

Turns out this is not the first cover Miller’s done for them. A little more digging discovers their two earlier albums with Miller covers…

The orange one reminding me instantly of the art for one of Miller’s classic 1970s paperback covers for Panther. Is this the picture that was lost and had to be recreated? Anyway, if you don’t fancy framing the album cover(s) then this one can be had as a fine art print direct from Miller.
