Artwork for “The Tower” was designed by renowned artist Costin Chioreanu, who had this to say: “Working on the cover of the new VULTURE INDUSTRIES was more than an interesting experience. The stars aligned and suddenly I discovered the opportunity to create the kind of imagery I had been dreaming about for years. “The Tower” is a very complex, smart and sadly true story to which I could relate, so this great project ended up with more illustrations than originally intended. The theme was so complex and so well put into words and music that I simply could not resist it. Yes, there is a huge influence coming from the German expressionism, but expanded through my own ways of visual expression and improved with some elements specific to the visual and philosophical analysis of society. There is surrealism, expressionism, contemporary imagery, and even some ancient graphic visual inputs. All in all, “The Tower” is an extremely well done observation of the reality that surrounds us as well as being a beautiful piece of art and I am extremely happy that I had the honour to illustrate it”.

VULTURE INDUSTRIES are also scheduled to perform 3 dates this year with the TURNING GOLEM project . Part concert rooted in the heavier segment of experimental/progressive metal and part theatre performance, TURNING GOLEM is about the relative subject of “truth”. It is about our need to define ourselves and our world by ways of constructed infallible systems of truths; about our need to believe in order to justify our own existence; about our urge for meaning and the anguish of the void. TURNING GOLEM will be performed at the following:
17 August: Dark Bombastic Evening, Alba Iulia, Romania
25 October: Garage, Bergen, Norway
26 October: Phantoms Of Pilsen, Pilsen, Czech Republic
