Matt Skiba originally posted this image on his Instagram on April 9th 2023 with the caption Album arting ❤️💀. It was exciting to see something new knowing they were in the studio recording and would be releasing a new record.

The idea of ten Skulls decorating the album cover for their to-be tenth album was a neat idea and I wish we'd gotten this art in the form of a single instead of being scrapped entirely. What we did receive was a large X and a bit uninspiring. I was glad however that it fit nicely with the colour scheme most of their previous albums carried.
