Romanian funeral doom outfit, Descend Into Despair have just announced the cover art, the name and the concept for their upcoming record, yet no tracklist and release date have yet been announced.




The band posted the following on their Facebook page: "Opium - our upcoming album - is well under way, and we are ready to reveal the cover art. Opium's conceptual driving force is, we believe, fully grasped within this image, blurring the lines between painting and photography. Twisting classical beauty into modern obsession, weaving harmony of proportion into the disharmony of meaning that soaks through the fabric of existence, our Venus rises forth from horror and remembrance, drained by her rebirth, as murky as the sea that bore her. Our gratitude goes towards all of you still bearing with us through this arduous process of creation, and especially to - in no particular order - Melinda Nagy for posing, Brigitta Adorjan for bodypainting, and István Bába for creating the painted half of this vision. Photography and concept by Xander Coza."
