Just a few days after they announced a new album, the Swedish metallers Steelwing unveil the cover artwork of their upcoming album Reset, Reboot, Redeem. The record is due for release on November 20th. It was recorded, mixed and co-produced by Swedish death metal legend Fred Estby (Necronaut, The Dagger, ex-Dismember) at Gutterview Recorders, with additional parts recorded by Nicko DiMarino in Deep Blue Studios where the band's early sound was once formed. The artwork was created by Swedish artist Sandra Österberg Brolin. Take a look at the piece below.

The band states: "For this album we wanted a cover with a genuine artistic feel. We chose to work with Sandra Österberg Brolin, a talent we know, because of her distinctive eerie style. The cover art is an oil painting depicting a human skull in the burning ruins of a city - the symbolism should be obvious."





Conceptually, Steelwing continue to develop on the post-apocalyptic themes of the previous two albums. Where Lord Of The Wasteland focused on Mad Max-esque highway marauders and Zone Of Alienation described mutant-infested havens in outer space, Reset, Reboot, Redeem take on a more serious misanthropic note: the current flawed state of mankind must be sacrificed to pave way for a trans-humanistic new breed - or all life on Earth will face extinction. One of many firsts for this album is a song in the band's native tongue: "Och världen gav vika" (translation: "And The World Collapsed").
