Alesana is a post-hardcore band. Their albums are usually centered on some story they come up with or based on myths and tales. The album that I thought needed a new cover was Confessions. This was a concept album that told a love story and time travel which is why there’s a tesseract on the book cover. This one is the original cover and It always felt lacking to me and didn’t capture the essence of the music as well as some of their other album covers.
This one right below is the one I made. I kept the idea of the tesseract by interlacing squares that hone into the middle of the image. To not get playful with the album cover when the album talks about time travel was a disservice. Hence, why I warped the image. I never really liked the way their band name was splattered onto the hardwood floor of the above image. Their old band logo was perfect in my opinion so I found it and put it on the cover.
