I decided to do the album Vices by Dead Poetic.
The cover simply has the band name and the album title. The background is textured and has the appearance of something that has been worn and abused over time.
Vice is defined as a practice or habit that is considered immoral, depraved, and/or degrading in the associated society. Basically sin, habits, or addictions of an individual.
