If you click the link, the colon after https will get deleted as is Sputnik tradition. Either copy paste it or add it yourself and you'll find the album artwork.

haha can't argue there, enough progression has been made in metal where I feel they'd be able to at least write something great in the genre... but instead they feel the need to go all hipster and indie with Carbon Based Anatomy. those probably weren't the best adjectives but I don't like the path they are taking. Still have high hopes for this one though
