Matt Barlow

An album cover for "Ashes of Ares - New Messiahs" depicts a sinister-looking figure in a dark suit seated at a large, circular table. The figure is facing forward with glowing red eyes, resting their chin on their folded hands. Behind the table, a large, glowing globe of the Earth floats in the center. The background is a chaotic mix of red and green hues, with multiple screens displaying various images of people and data, suggesting a control room or command center. Several shadowy, silhouetted figures in suits stand behind the main figure. The band name, "ASHES OF ARES," is at the top in a metallic, futuristic font, and the album title, "NEW MESSIAHS," is at the bottom in a green, digital-style font. The overall impression is one of global control, power, and a dark, modern conspiracy.
