I've always really liked this artwork (and album in general) so I really tried to make it work, but sorry if I ended up going a little overboard on stretching.

This artwork was made by guy named "Jim". Apparently he was an employee at Holy Night Clothing back in the day. I don't have any more info about him, sorry. Anyway, the font he used for part of the band logo is called "PlymouthRock SnowDusted".

O, Majestic Winter is an experimental raw black metal band from the USA.

Symphony of Souls were a particularly aggressive kind of symphonic black metal band from Brazil. As far as I know, they unfortunately never released anything, only played concerts. (These wallpapers are based on a picture from their Myspace.) Thankfully, there's footage!

Sabactâni was a band from Brazil. (Nowadays the frontman has a solo project with a similar name: Sabackthanny.) A few early demos were made in a raw black style, but Sabactâni is, by far, best known for the frontman's solo work, in styles like post-black, shoegaze, a bit of acoustic/soft rock, etc. Update March 2024: I added artwork from the Sabackthanny re-release. I don't have an original pic for that one unfortunately. Btw, please note that while the majority of releases were Christian, not all music released under either name was Christian.
