"THE SYMBOLISM CAME FROM THE BOOK OF REVELATION..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the original “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” BLACK SABBATH sleeve art illustrations by Drew Struzan. Color pencil & acrylic on board, 30"x40," c. 1973.

"My concept for this album was based on two color illustrations that were given to me on my confirmation day in 1955, that I still have to this day. They are from the 1700’s and depict an evil man and a good man both at the split second of their death. When I showed them to Drew and explained the idea -- well, these pieces speak for themselves."

-- ERNIE CEFALU (Creative Director)

"I created the album art for “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” in 1973. The theme was a good man dying and a bad man dying. Yes, I’m the guy in both versions. The symbolism came from the Book of Revelation. The 666 scared parents around the world!"

-- DREW STRUZAN (American artist/illustrator/painter)

Here is my latest piece, a full page illustration to accompany the lead album ID.Entity review of the band Riverside in PROG Magazine. The artwork reflects the album's themes of identity, existentialism, uniformity, dystopia and artifical intelligence. The bottom half of the image is a nod to the influence of 80's synthpop within the album. #riverside #riversideband #prog #progmagazine #progrock #progrockmusic #progmetal #progmetalmusic #future #id.entity #identity #existentialism #uniformity #dystopia #artificialintelligence https://www.instagram.com/p/CnXa2hUsyJo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's strange how the days can just fly, and things can just pile up like that. I miss not knowing the difference from one day to the next sometimes.

I haven't listened to DT in a while. I almost forgot what this song sounds like.
