"This is one of the stronger releases seen so far in 2011"

[J. Golden]

"Beneath the haunting cover artwork by Travis Smith, What I’ve Become is a very impressive album that incorporates elements of traditional, power, thrash and progressive metal. The guitar riffs are both blisteringly fast and surgically precise, and are paired with rhythms that are almost doom-like in their heaviness."

Love the song. Might have to check this band out.
Artwork is cool, but not Travis' best work by any means.

but not Travis' best work by any means.

Interesting cause he seemed to think so. He was actually really into the concept. There is actually more to it than just the cover. And so far it has had quite a few people raising an eyebrow.

What's so special about it? Am I missing something?

Definitely going to be in the running for best of 2011 if the rest of the album is as good as "What I've Become"

If it can't be seen then there is not much need to point it out. But there is a religious them behind it that I think fits with the album content.
The piece came out pretty exact to how I wanted it, I was surprised that Travis was able to do that actually. And if one picks up on everything tied into the piece will yeah it is pretty unique, will the exception of maybe one other band I can think of. Though that was not the influence, my interest in the subject matter and it's correlation with the songs made it work.
But hey, one takes what they will from it.:Smokedev:
