Album cover for "Heaven's Falling" by Shadowborne. The fantasy artwork depicts a apocalyptic volcanic landscape with cracks of glowing orange lava on the ground. In the center foreground, a woman in a long black hooded robe stands with open hands and glowing purple eyes, channelling energy. She is flanked by four mysterious, faceless figures in dark, heavy hooded cloaks. Towering above them in a fiery, lightning-filled red sky is a massive, monstrous dragon made of fire and smoke with glowing yellow eyes and an open maw. The band name "SHADOWBORNE" is displayed at the top in a metallic silver font, and the album title "HEAVEN'S FALLING" is written at the bottom in a clean white serif font.

The background is a deep blue ocean with shimmering particles near the surface.
