Album cover of Cometh the Storm by High on Fire features artwork by Brian Mercer. The illustration depicts a massive, gothic sailing vessel with tattered, wing-like sails navigating through a turbulent, orange-hued sky filled with lightning. This epic, doom-laden imagery perfectly captures the heavy, "riff monster" energy of the album and tracks like Burning Down and Darker Fleece.
The vessel appears constructed from organic, bone-like structures, evoking a sense of ancient power and stoner metal mythology. The fiery color palette and thick, painterly textures mirror the dense production and aggressive, sludge-influenced sound for which Matt Pike’s band is known. With its focus on elemental destruction and mythic scale, the artwork visually translates the title Cometh the Storm into a cinematic, apocalyptic landscape.
