Scaphism

So I have been working on a few things.  I was recently asked by an old friend from the music scene here in VA Beach to draw a album cover for his old/new band.  Now the name may throw most for a loop but any true music lover or musician knows not to judge a book by its cover.  The band is called "sprayfart"  funny right?   So reason i say old/new is because back in the day his old band "Loss of reason" would come on stage and say "what the fucks up everyone one!  We're SprayFart and we're all gay" haha so this band has truly been around the block without leaving the garage.  So these dude are writing a concept album.  I know qhat your thinking "only band that writes good concept albums is RUSH mann" ...Bullshit!  So i have heard the plan for this album and some recordings.  Put it thi way...dont sleep on it!  These guys are writing a whole album based on ancient torture techniques from around the world and vary from different religious beliefs.  So when he contacted me he hit me with these ideas I was really intrigued.  So I was informed that the name of the album would be called "scaphism"   So after some research i learned that Scaphism means to scoop out.  When i say scoop out. Im not talking chips and dip.  The Persians used to tie their victim to a boat, force feed them milk and honey.  They would then push the boat into the middle of a stagnant pond, allowing the body to bake in the sun.  While the body is continually baking in the sun the body becomes infested with wildlife eating away at the living. Sounds pretty cool to me....
