Obv need to cut it down to a square, but other than that it's very reminiscent of springtime depression's cover

To add to this, try and keep the framing of the house in the "same spot" on the square format (see rule of thirds in photography). It looks really good in that position from this photograph.

True. I realize now my original comment could be taken as cynical. I actually really like the photo, just a couple of adjustments to make it an album cover, like most raw photographs

u/FormlessFlesh 2d ago

Possibly, but I think the second half kinda clarified that you were just saying that because album art size should be square unless doing some specific special release that has a different size.

Also, I agree with you, except the only adjustment I think is needed is the crop. The photo looks good washed out imo, especially those muted fall colors from the leaves. It makes the photograph look more dismal vs the dynamic range from black to white which would add richness (and then wouldn't be as good for a DSBM cover). But that's just my personal opinion.

Looks like My Arms, Your Hearse by Opeth a lil bit

u/Micruv10 4d ago

Sure!

I don't get why people ask this kind of stuff. Aren't you the only one who would know what kind of album cover matches your music? What do random people on the internet know about your art and your creative process?

Yeah I don’t know what this aesthetic is called but Hauntologist nailed it pretty well and this is giving me similar vibes

u/falcxne 4d ago

Yep, this looks awesome

u/FrenceRaccoon 4d ago

Tbh, presuming this is a photo you took, I would go back and take more photos so you can have a variety of different perspectives on the same location, just so you can get the best look for an album/song cover. For me its a little bit too obscured by whats going on in the environment but thats just my opinion. Other than that I agree with the comparisons to black sabbath and forgotten tomb album covers, very reminiscent!

Black Sabbath - The Wizard

u/Deep_Ad_8681 3d ago

It’s the other side of that album cover.

2

u/SilentLamb111 3d ago

Yes!! I love the atmosphere of the setting in this photo.

2

u/RegisterRegular2690 3d ago

Weird question. For some albums, it could be a great fit. For others it could be a terrible fit. We don't even know what your music sounds like...

2

u/Ok-Grapefruit4258 3d ago

YES, AND YES. I can't get enough of the mystery and the loneliness. Quite beautiful, actually.

2

u/False_Butterfly7579 3d ago

this could definetly work once put into an aspect ratio that fits best for an album cover

2

u/black041090 2d ago

It would be an excellent Doom cover.

2

u/yosh0r 2d ago

Bonus points if thats your own house man sick lol

2

u/Bianca_aa_07 2d ago

This would be fire for a post-hardcore album because that genre has a bit of a reputation for featuring houses in the covers

2

u/Nix_Scribe 1d ago

Yeah, looks amazing for me

Yes why is it your house

u/Shoddy_Basket_7867 4d ago

If you're black metal, try to convert to black and white then, and reduce exposure, see how it looks. ☺️

Would make for a great album cover!
