Heavy metal album portraying an image of unrelenting strength and self-confidence that defies the unprecedented times we currently find ourselves in. The sarcastic final track “Grind” outlines this perfectly, while the title track “Fortitude” quietly underscores the overall encouraging themes of the album before leading into “The Chant” written to raise awareness of the Tibetan genocide while also inspiring self-sustaining hope and fortitude in anyone who listens.
It’s not as iconic as From Mars to Sirius, or The Link, but it’s a great cover. I have this poster hanging in my den!
I agree that FMTS has a better, more generally relevant cover, but I love this one because of how it echoes the strength the music inside hopes to inspire, which is exactly what I needed when this album came out (and once again desperately need now)
