| Demigod still has the best cover and inlay booklet IMHO. |
|
|
|
| I didn't like this artork... to be honest it is one of the worst DM artworks i've ever seen... at least they are going to release the album 2 months earlier and this is something really nice!!!! |
|
|
|
| I actually really like this artwork. It's a nice change from the usual over-produced covers that Behemoth have. Plus it looks like a good Doom Metal album cover, to me at least. Perhaps the album cover reflects a musical change too? We'll see. |
|
|
|
| The cover art looks nice. Hopefully new songs will be even better.. |
|
|
|
| I really like the album cover too. Its a break from the norm and leaves you pondering as to what it could mean. |

| Really nice artwork, here's to hoping that the music matches it! |
|
|
|
Who doesn't like the artwork?! Well... besides Deadmeat...guy...
Nergal always has his ideas sorted out, great Dude! |
|
|
|
| Didn't quite like the cover art neither. It's to simple for Behemoth. Well, hope the music is good as always though! |
|
|
|
| This is the album I'm most looking forward to this year. I like the artwork; the medieval woodcut feel really suits the visual theme. The Whore of Babylon exploits some potent symbolism from the Christian mythos. Many Evangelical churches (as well as several of the reformers) equate her with the Catholic Church while the Catholics connect her to civil powers. Nergal's lyrics are always among the most thought provoking in extreme metal and I'm sure will do this theme justice. |

this artwork is far away from the DM style and especialy for behemoth who play DM in the fast and brutal way. even the colors of it make me imagine everything except DM... if it was another band, another styloe etc i may have said that it is nice3. but for behemoth yeah it has no point imo... |

Maybe you should re-evaluate the lyrical concepts that Nergal is aiming for. This isn't Hammer Smashed Face for Christ's sake. Death metal bands don't have to necessarily stick to the same topics. Behemoth has almost always remained on the same theme. |

| What? THAT'S cool artwork? Demigod and The Apostasy had way better artwork - not that really matters, as long as the music is good, of course. |

Not the best artwork, but it's not that bad. I'm sure Nergal knows what he's doing. Besides that; cover tell nothing about the album, remember the great covers of Cryptopsy last album, or Satyricon's Age of Nero - great covers (imo), certainly not good albums  |
|
|
|
Aaaaa!
They are back to the New Aeonic philosophy of Thelema !
Masterful...
93 to all who knowest the word! |
|
|
|
| For a minute there, I was expecting giant fighting robots. That would have made a much better album cover. |
|
|
|
| I saw the pic in a small box and until is zoomed the pic i thought they went back to pagan and more black metal stuff.. but no,, seems they ll continiue with the newer stuff, just the artwork is a bit unusual..but still cool |
|
|
|
| Meh, I don't like the album cover either. |
|
|
|
| I like it. Nothing to add. |

Just the logo is orange... but maybe red would have been a TAD bit more suiting.

| I really like the new artwork, it has a different feel to it. The only disappointing thing is that the logo's color is random. It should have been white, black or grey so it goes with the old aspect of the cover. |
|
|
|
| So the artwork is just black and white? errrm, i don't really like it. |
|
|
|
| Artwork was cute! so where can i get "evangelion"? |

Well of course! To use "of" insted of "ov" wouldn't be right with there themes and all! Old-school spelling =) |
|

I think the artwork is pretty cool.
After watching their recent Youtube videos, I think the album is going to be their best one to date. Ov Fire and the Void sounds amazing! |

err.. orange is absolutely perfect, it's the colour of fire. red would have just made it look more like some.. vampiric blood thing. and while the cover is great, the whole picture doesn't really fit Behemoth's music too well. it's too subtle.. |

Has anyone gone to the page and seen the little promo shot of Nergal, Inferno and Orion?
Darski looks like he did in the Conquer All vid
Inferno looks 60 years old with that beard and is wearing a skirt (Kilt?)
and Orion has some incredibly baggy pants on...
Album sounds awesome so far...but I hope they don't go with this image for their album/Concerts/ Etc... |

I userd to spell "of" like that, even for school assignments. I quit that after a few weeks, though. |

That would definitely be a valid reason, but they weren't failing me for it, really. I used the traditional spelling of "of" in essays and formal stuff like that, but assignments of lesser rank were where all the ov's were. But I kind of decided that I didn't enjoy spelling it like that as much as I used to, so I gradually went back to the formal spelling. It was worth spelling "of" like "ov" and it was nice while I was doing it. I was a freshman in high school when I did that.  |

So all of of a sudden it comes down to the bands Album Cover? The album cover is just the Icing on The Cake ! How could you ever judge an album by its cover?? I'm a HUGE Opeth fan and i must admit that they do not have the best album covers, but the music is something that i cannot comprehend 
I personally love Behemoths new cover art  Nothing but high hopes for this new album. "The Apostasy" PWND !!!!!!! |
|

Being a graphic artist whose niche market is musicians, i pay alot of attention to album art and packaging.
Honestly you can't judge an album by it's cover, countless times i've seen a great looking cd only to know that band was utter tripe.
However, a band of this calibre (or any band really) needs to have clever marketing and good promotion material to back it up, incite interest, reach its target audience and as always gain new fans.
Album art is important.
Whether its any good or not is left to personal interpretation and a matter of a opinion.
I think the illustration is fantastic, replicating a lithograph and fits very well with the biblical theme. |
