The first album by Nueve Desconocidos revolves around concepts such as guilt, punishment, redemption, obsession and death. To develop the cover aesthetically and conceptually, we decided to elaborate a story about the character who sings the songs and we found in him an obsessive and neurotic personality around these extremely Catholic concepts.
In this way, we tried to recreate and build the character’s own mental paranoia through iconic elements in the aesthetics and references of the artist himself. The album thus plays with three key elements: The cover, a series of nine crosses arranged on a wall in the style of David Fincher’s iconic Seven scene, the ninth sigil of the Ars Goetia, which represents Paimon, one of the lords of the Hell associated with knowledge and wisdom and the vinyl insert that is laid out in the same way that the sacred texts of the Bible are traditionally laid out.
Thus, we draw a connection between the different elements that make up the artwork around recognizable aesthetic elements in the popular religious imaginary and around the number nine, linking our story directly with the legend of the Nine Unknowns, a popular Indian tale, attributing to Paimon the task that they traditionally perform this council of wise man in the story of Ashoka.
