Finding beauty in the darkness
Made of Dust is the second album from Melbourne heavy rock band Lamassu, released in June 2023. The album explores themes of death, loneliness, failure and redemption, combining heavy riffs with moments of quiet introspection and soaring vocal harmonies.
Following our collaboration on the band's debut album, Into the Empty, I was commissioned to develop the artwork for their second release, with the challenge of creating a distinctive visual identity that reflected the album's darker themes and emotional depth.
Working closely with the songwriters, I explored the ideas and meaning behind the music, translating these into a visual direction that captured the album's atmosphere while allowing for my own creative interpretation.
The resulting artwork formed part of Lamassu's evolving visual identity, supporting the album's release and extending our ongoing collaboration across music, merchandise and promotional design.
Made of Dust reached number nine in the June 2023 Doom Charts, reflecting the strong reception to the band's music.
