Within Temptation - New Album Cover Art And Tracklist Revealed


Original news, posted on 06.01.2011

Within Temptation has unveiled the cover artwork for their upcoming concept album The Unforgiving.

As previously reported, The Unforgiving will be based on a comic book series, written by Steven O'Connell (BloodRayne & Dark 48). The main characters of the comic will be reflecting the characters of the songs. Comic artist Romano Molenaar (Witchblade, Darkness and X-men) has been asked to draw the characters and scenery. You can check out some pages from the comic book here.

The Unforgiving is due to be released worldwide in March 2011.

Read the text. It says the album is based on a comic book series. But I agree, it doesn't look very good (by that I mean it looks awful).

Well if you read the description it says it was based on a comic book series. thats probably why it looks like a comic...

Dislike.

That's all I have/am able to say right now.

EDIT: At first, the whole "comic book based concept" seemed to me sort of intriguing. Now that I've already seen the artwork, I don't find it that fascinating any more... :

Well, not the greatest cover artwork but the music will undoubtedly be pretty good.

I'm not sure about all these "comic book based stuff"....it doesn't sound intriguing or something to look forward to.

Aside from the kid friendly looks, the artworks seems like a good movie cover... not a good CD cover.

The cover looks only half as good as the actual comic. I actually believe the whole album could turn out really good. Apparently I'm the only one though :

What is the main riddle to is the WT fans on official band's site. Most of them praise the new cover. Are they blind, or they just like everything the band do, and have no objective evaluation.

It's not going to stop me getting the album, but it is pretty crap. The whole comic book thing does nothing for me and I've been worried since it was announced.

The song they release a few weeks ago is a promising sign though. Darker than the last album which is good for me.

That is horrible. It's not suitable for a metal album cover.
Anyway It's just a cover artwork, i'm sure the album will be great.

I'm totally not into the idea of making a (metal)album based on a comic... is just seems so wrong

the cover is pretty bad, but i'll buy it anyway
i liked the song they released so far, so the music should be good, i think

The band is going so mainstream and commerial, their last one wasn't too bad but this is going to far. And that cover art is awful.
