Visual art has always had a strong connection with music. Simple branding really, although it wasn’t called this back then, the Dead and Jimi Hendrix used psychedelic art to capture the feeling to get people to come to the concerts, punk rockers used a rougher, less polished, more spray paint and stencil feel to capture their style of music. Each genre and each band has their own style of art that coincided with it. You’re not going to find gothic doom creatures and flames on a Bob Dylan album, you’re going to find that on Slayer or Judas Priest.
