Tempus Aurum

Tempus Aurum is the second album by alternative rock band Genetic Sovereign. The Title is a phrase which has a similar meaning to "Time is Gold". Time is the main thema of this album, and so is the cover artwork in the shape of a clock that stops at 23:00. The artwork also looks like an eyeball that watches the endangered world outside, with birds turning into fighter jets, sharp trees without leaves surrounded by square concrete walls. Adeyto who created the cover artwork and the lyrics was inspired by the extreme pressure that time puts on our society, rushing us to do everything faster and faster before it's too late.
