Front
The iages used on the front are of sea monsters, which link to the title of the title “under the iron sea”. As in many myths and folklore, sea monsters are commonly found under the sea.
The monsters themselves are divided up into groups, with three black ones looking evil, two that look like they are upset/crying and finally one that looks moderately angry. This adds a degree of emotion to the cover and at the same time it puts this emotion onto varying degrees, depending on the amount of monsters there are displaying that specific emotion. The text on the title goes along with the sea theme by keeping the album name in blue, however the name of the band is in black, this can be linked to the dominant seahorse (the black one).
Back
The back of the cover is just a continuation of the monsters and the waves; same colours are just and just layered on top of each other. There is no text on the back of the cover just the waves and the backs of the sea monsters. However the sea monsters are less defined and it is hard to distinguish between which monster is which.
