This was a huge, fun project that included record artwork and design, video direction and editing, comic book writing and illustration, package design, and more. Across these numerous forms, Brainless God tells the story of humanity’s last day as nuclear obliteration approaches. FUN FACT: The explosive orange background on the cover and back cover was made by photographing my TV during the apocalypse scene in Terminator 2 (the greatest movie of all time).
Widely available on black vinyl (and CD, not pictured). The limited edition was produced in an edition of 300 and includes the album on red vinyl, a 48-page comic book, and a DVD of music videos for each song, all housed in a hand-numbered, screen-printed clamshell box. Photos by David Jacobson.
