(3) Who came up with thecover art for the SingleBend The Snake?.
I,Tarek, came up with the idea of the Annunaki with a caduceus, and Justin Roth of War Curse & Justin Roth Designs brought it to life in his flavor and style.
(4) Who wrote the lyrics for your new Single, how did they come to be?
I wrote the lyrics. I can usually feel what the song is going to be about based upon how what Dakota writes makes me feel inside. I sat down and wrote these lyrics straight through. That holds true for the majority of our songs. This one in particular deals with the magic being used to decieve and blur the lines of reality.

The logo was created by Dakota. The original logo artwork and “Genesis” album cover art were done by Travis Smith. Justin Roth is responsible for all of our online artwork and singles art as well as photgraphy and T shirts.
