I cant tell if i love or hate that album cover. Still Im really excited for this

will surely rule

That cover is awful

fuck yea

Unsure about this

They werent great last year either. 2010 and 2011 had some cool ones

album art is pretty meh but surely it will rule

talk about judging a book by it's cover fellas

Yeah, the artwork oozes cliches, but Immolation has yet to put anything out that isn't jammable.

stupid looking cover but will still be good better be atleast

yeah cover sucks

worst art ive ever seen

Okay the cover is bad but this should be awesome. I actually have faith.

"worst art ive ever seen"

bit of an overreaction

"worst art ive ever seen"

Will rule, unsure about the cover as well but it will be metal as a mechanical dick.

both of those are pretty bad, are they even real bands?

yea

Fuck you insurrection
That's just too far

Cover is not very good. Band rules hard

hey sorry man just proving a point!

Lol

I was wondering what the reaction to the cover would be. Yeah I thought it sucked. Still excited for the album tho.

I've seen worse art but not from this band

lol at all the people commenting on that site about how amazing the artwork is.

wow I'm in the minority here, I like the artwork, I mean as far as Immolation artwork goes it is definitely no where near their best.

Yeah, cover art's pretty terri-bad. Looks like early 2000s In Flames meets deathcore.

it's like if someone puked grey all over the Endgame cover. and decided to put a bald guy from row and center.

That artwork, uhhhhh

ughh the music gotta be better than that artwork.

artwork is bad, title is mediocre at best and I would really just prefer it if they stuck to the whole anti-religion themes of their earlier material

but whatever I'm sure it'll still be one of the best dm records of the year

What the, are we even looking at the same artwork?
It's not nearly as bad as some other stuff, I mean it's done by Par Olofsson, that guy's fantastic.

but whatever I'm sure it'll still be one of the best dm records of the year

damn that album art sucks, and i like cliche orwellian imagery.

stooooooked. so many awesome metal albums so far this year.

I don't get how they go from their last LP & EP's art work to this.

Artwork is kinda meh, but this should rule face all the same

Need to listen to this when it comes out ...immo ftw

Seriously who gives a flying fuck about the artwork the music is where it's at

no shit the music is more important, but i care because the album cover usually influences the images that pop into my mind when i listen to music.

"well no one's heard the music but everyone's seen the artwork..."

and this, theres nothing else to comment on right now, we havent heard anything.

Half this thread is bitching about the artwork I mean who gives a shit if you don't like it suck it up and wait for the album instead of being a bunch of whiners

tells others not to whine while whining.

Just saying half this thread is fucking whiners and it wasn't even directed at you so chill

The artwork would be sick if it was just the monument in the background. The dude at the front is what ruins it.

It would be so cool if the guy at the front was the statue (I think he was a statue) off of the cover of Majesty and Decay.

Maybe just anything cool.

The album cover kinda ass at first glance, but the background is pretty neat.

hahah the fucking cover art.

will rule anyway

the album art is a grower
the first time I saw the artwork, I was very surprised and didn't really like it, so I stared at it like 2 minutes
then I read the concept, and stared at the pic again and it became a bit better
then I returned in 10 minutes and looked at the art again I was like FUCK YEA THIS WILL RULE m/

yeah this is what we've been given to talk about at this point. the artwork is the most noteworthy since it's pretty horrible.

I would bet that most people have already been anticipating that the music will rule because it's immo obvs

This looks cool

Maybe. The competition is pretty stacked this year.

New Portal was already released. And EPs by Brutality and Convulse. But what's probably going to take the cake is Gorguts' forthcoming album.

fuck yes Gorguts' new album will absolutely rape

atheist and yeah ulcerate have both been working on material since early last year and are supposed to be releasing something this year

Cynic, too. But we don't know anything concrete, yet.

Wow, I must have strange tastes, because most album covers in this genre suck ass compared to this. This cover actually has something going on.

"artwork is bad, title is mediocre at best and I would really just prefer it if they stuck to the whole anti-religion themes of their earlier material"

How are you not seeing that the tower of chained human bodies is a reference to the colossal Corrosive influence of religion? Seriously, it is blindingly obvious.

"How are you not seeing that the tower of chained human bodies is a reference to the colossal Corrosive influence of religion? Seriously, it is blindingly obvious."

Because the illustration looks stupid. Who cares about the reference, it looks dumb.

aoty

"Because the illustration looks stupid. Who cares about the reference, it looks dumb."

It looks stupid and dumb? Well, then again, you are dumb teenager (or manchild) so you can't be expected to be eloquent.

@Thor Watch them eat their words when it comes out.

agree with Thor, who gives a fuck about the artwork we all know it will slay

It'll probably be at least decent, but album of the year? Nah.

won't be aoty and it's implied that they are releasing an album this year, by the content of the article which divulges the exact release date this year

not sure how commenting on the artwork makes people "faggots" but ok great post!!

I was being hyperbolic but people in here seriously need to calm down about that artwork. It's not great but there are so many worse things out there.

meh it is what it is. the art looks lame, I'm sure the album will be great. I've seen worse art, but this is probably the worst Immolation art to date imo. honestly I don't really care that much about the artwork, just saying what's on my mind about it at this point.

I've been excited about new material for months so I've kind of exhausted my excitement on that front at the moment. looking forward to it though.

"Watch them eat their words when it comes out."

nobodys saying the music will suck, dipshit.

inveigh the krypts album is filthy get on that

Pssh, no it ain't

you used to be cool

YOU used to be cool!

New Portal was already released. And EPs by Brutality and Convulse. But what's probably going to take the cake is Gorguts' forthcoming album.

Blurgh, such a tired album title, this will undoubtedly be average at best

Their last EP sucked dick and everything from Unholy Cult to Majesty and Decay isn't that great

I've enjoyed their latest stuff, it hasn't been as great as the first half of their career but still great

Eh idk Majesty and Decay is my second favorite album of theirs and the Providence EP was great too. I'm sure this is gonna slay hard.

Their last EP sucked dick and everything from Unholy Cult to Majesty and Decay isn't that great

Majesty and Decay is one of the best death metal albums of the past few years, imo

blurgh

Haha, okay okay I get it
