Artwork for the single Sustain My Existence by El Has. Behind the text there is a dark vignette around the side of the image. Within that is a red ring distorting a grainy image of some British cash, with a clenched fist superimposed on top of it.

Sustain My Existence is a re­pre­sent­ation of the state of mind of anyone who actual­ly realises what money IS: random meaning­less numbers. Physic­ally, it's JUST ELECTRONS. THAT IS HOW DATA IS STORED IN COMPUTERS. Anyone who bother­ed to listen to Humans Incarnate would already know this. WE'VE FAILED. El hope­less­ly tries to make sense of human­ity's only reason to keep lives sus­tained, that being drop­ping numbers, and he does his best to describe how fuck­ing re­tard­ed a societal para­digm is when PEOPLE DIE FOR NUMBERS. It's a synop­sis of the species, mixed with a cry for help, mixed with a state­ment of the limitations imposed on life: I need money so I can sustain my existence. Know­ing all of this makes El feel fuck­ing use­less and hate him­self, but are you any better?!

El was going for some­thing that was half­way between 'vaguely grunge' and 'vague­ly metal' with this and the other few songs that Falsi­fied Necess­ity starts with. The idea is that the sound gets heav­ier and hits harder as the album goes on, though he's ob­vious­ly ignoring quiet parts in later songs with that state­ment. When El initially set out the set­list he want­ed for the album, there were more songs lean­ing towards 'vague­ly grunge' than what there ended up being.

Welcome to Their 2030 by El Has. Between horizontal grey rectangles displaying El's name and the title of the record, a silhouette of a long-haired man sits between a fire and the logo for the Ultimate Stalker Company, which is based on the logo of the World Economic Forum. Inside this silhouette is blue text, which reads: "Welcome to 2030. I own nothing. I have no privacy. I have no rights, and guess what! My life has never been better!"
Dehumanised by El Has. The artwork depicts two hands in restraints at the behest of the Ultimate Stalker Company, with a logo derived from the logo of the World Economic Forum. A visual feedback loop occurs behind the hands.

Artwork for the single '239' by El Has. Large grey text is in the middle of the image, specifying that the title is said as 'Two Three Nine.' The background is cloudy, mostly blueish but red near the edges. There are weirdly-blended skulls near the bottom. In front of it is a lot of text and images from the '239 Apocalypse' website this song is based on. In front of that is more text. The messages read "Ignore my valid arguments and focus on the numbers," "HUMANITY IS DOOMED," "Chao Horo" meaning "Times of Chaos in Latin, "The existence of digits 2, 3 & 9 is all the evidence you need," and "2001, 2023, 2030," those being the years the website highlights as years of significant negative change.
Crushed Dreams by El Has. A silhouette of a miserable El stands in front of a window, not letting much light in. The vast majority of the room he's in is pitch black.
