MORBID ANGEL UNVEILS COVER ARTWORK

Hugo. · Post by **Hugo.** » 01 Apr 2011, 21:17

They should have worked a blasphemagram into it. Like into the metal work of the dude or whatever. That would certainly bind it to MA for sure and we'd all be fucking gushing over it.

There is a blasphegram in his hand.

i think that cover is pretty shitty. the EP is alright but it doesn't scream "album cover" to me.

i maintain that i will give this my full attention upon its release or leak but i do not have high hopes

[quote name="Skincision"]thats a pretty ignorant stance[/quote]

Why? Abum covers are important. Are you saying a crappy album cover has no influence on your opinions of the music whatsoever?

This gives me a thread idea :light:

always better to have the good songs with shitty art work than opposite.

The cover reminds me of the videos from the Covenant album. It isn't great but isn't bad either. The EP cover is a lot better.

[quote name="uni777"]

I wonder why they made the Typography like it is on the new one.

Because of the weird spacing i read:

ILL VD DIV IN V M IN SAN V S

ILL VD

DIV

IN V M

IN

SAN V S

The spacing is so off every graphic designer get instant eyeache. This must be intentional.

It´s unreadable, hard to discyphre (sp

) even when you know what is says. The title is hard enough as it is. This will be fun in shops, "do you have Illud Divinum Insanus" and then let the shop owner try to find it.

M.Bison · Post by **M.Bison** » 02 Apr 2011, 21:58

Will somebody kindly explain the differences between the different versions? It's rather confusing and there is a lack of info on SoM...

Like, do you get bonus track on the deluxe version or something, or just a different case?

i mean, 7 years and they come with this digital shit?

Um, the title is always printed on the side, and usually the top, in normal font.

Pfff, That's nothing! I once had to order "In The Nightside Eclipse" and "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk" at a not-so-metal store...

Whoops.

But really, there is some pretty cool intricacy to this, much more some of the similar things that have been on album covers lately. I think there's of Crowley's designs on his chest too.

Gustavo sure had been busy ;-) http://www.abstrata.net/ But nothing on the man himself or how he works. If it's all digital, how would one go about creating this

It has so much detail, this can't be done with just a mouse and paintshop

Generally it's a collage of photographs that manipulated in photoshop.

Sadly and after years of denial I am coming to this conclusion as well. It is hard to reconcile as without fans, they would not be able to tour a flea stable. Anywho, maybe something will change. Some better form of keeping in touch with fans but merely basing it on their website, I'd say chances are higher that Trey will become an Orthodox Catholic convert

I think that they do not sway their creations to fan opinion is part of the draw.

Or they're trying to have the shortest album ever or those songs will be over 10 minutes.

Or it's bullshit.

Abzu · Post by **Abzu** » 05 Apr 2011, 08:22

For starters, the b-side of the Nevermore ep is a remix of a track from the album that is not listed above: Destructos Vs The Earth (Still, I'm all

)

Next, it's just bullshit.

There will be fairly long songs, because vinyl version is double LP

[quote name="uni777"]Funny how opinions differ.

I like the cover of H very much. All the symolism. I do not like the artwork of the booket itself however...

Gateways i do not like. It is not one of seagraves best and looks childish. and the tray inlay screams amateur photoshop.

I wonder why they made the Typography like it is on the new one.

Because of the weird spacing i read:

ILL VD DIV IN V M IN SAN V S

ILL VD

DIV

IN V M

IN

SAN V S

Also all geometric and sigil stuff looks interesting.[/quote]

Being the 9th album, the first 9 letters are Roman numbers.

I know but there is no logic in that fact alone. And it does not explain the spacing of the typography...

That's why the S looks like an 8
