Created in the Image of Suffering
2017 King Woman album
Created in the Image of Suffering is the debut studio album by American doom metal band King Woman, released on February 24, 2017, through Relapse Records. The album has strong religious themes, inspired by the band's lead member Kristina Esfandiari's upbringing in a Charismatic Christian church.[3] The album was recorded with producer Jack Shirley at the Atomic Garden in Palo Alto, California.[4] King Woman supported Created in the Image of Suffering with an international tour, including a performance at Roadburn Festival.[5]
The album's cover art was created by Esfandiari's friend Ars Moriendee, after appearing to Esfandiari in a "weird vision". She explained the vision to Moriendee, who then "made it come to life."[6]
