This vinyl cover design is a visual eulogy to the Belval iron ore industry that drove the economy of Luxembourg more than 100 years ago. Inspired by the histories surrounding forgotten metallurgical and siderurgic sites, the artwork bridges the gap between a booming past and a silent present.

The design is heavily textured, utilizing high-contrast imagery of corroded iron, flaking orange rust, and weathered sheet metal to evoke a deep sense of nostalgia for a bygone ‘golden age.’

What once was a hub of fire, noise, and human sweat is now a monument of quiet decay. By blending raw industrial textures with a melancholic, modern music, the cover captures the haunting beauty of these abandoned monoliths—turning cold metal and oxidation into a warm, nostalgic tribute to the workers and stories that shaped an era.
