DESCRIPTION

This is the final pencil drawing presented to Tobias Sammet for his approval before the colour work commenced. Also significant for being Matthews' final album cover commission.

"The general theme touches on Arthurian legend, recalling in my mind the Isle of Avalon. Hence, my inclusion of Glastonbury Tor with the distant Camelot. I once lived in the area and often climbed the Tor - mercifully the dragon was elsewhere at the time!"

- Rodney Matthews, 2025
