The cover art was done by the UK based renowned occult artist John Coulthart, who had previously collaborated with the band.
Commented Ashmedi: "The art was meticulously discussed over several phone calls and John like a real credible artist worked in utmost professionalism while having a real short deadline. The cover art perfectly represents our music and themes. It portrays an occult, mystical Near Eastern/ Mesopotamian atmosphere while strictly adhering to a non cliché standard. Aside from the mutual understanding between myself and John, The Golden Ratio principle was the starting and defining point for this sublime art, I am extremely satisfied with this cover art.“
The Epigenesis is set to be unleashed on October 1st and will conain 11 tracks recorded in the newly built first class Babajim Studios in Istanbul, Turkey and was mixed by Reuben de Lautour and mastered by Pieter Snapper.
