Bestial Devastation

Bestial Devastation
An enormous quadruple-horned winged red devil looms from behind over a cathedral-like church isolated on a round hill. In the distance, behind the church and devil on the devil's left side, are three large crucifix-style crosses. Directly on the other side of the church is a silhouette of a grim reaper overlooking a cemetery with simple gravestones topped with crosses. Above the painting (and awkwardly off-center to the right) is the band name "Sepultura" painted in a somewhat crude thorny-style font with the "t" as a cross, while below the church is the album title "Bestial Devastation" in a cut-style font.
