Deflorate comes out September 15 on Metal Blade.

Thanks to the improbably named Adam Adams for passing along this along.

P.S. Metal Insider also has a bigger version of the new Dethklok cover art. Go check that shit out!

    I don’t see the connection to weed.

    “Arrrrgh, it’s too colorful. Arrrrgh, this band sucks ass. Arrrrgh, fuck new school American death metal.”

    Ok, who am I??? :)

    I like it. Nice tribute to Powerslave, and definitely a step away from the insanely boring and monotonous metal album art trends that have been around for decades.

  • groverXIII

    It’s definitely got an old-school vibe to it… and I can see some similarities to Powerslave. I dig it.

    i dunnooooo

  • tom

    judging by that, it’s going to be a progressive power metal concept album.

  • metal as fuck

    haha i just made the last name up

    I said it yesterday and I’ll say it again: worst metal album cover since In Flames’ A Sense of Purpose.

    • Metal Fuckin’ Dave

      Look at that In Flames cover on acid and suddenly it makes complete sense. Until you come down.

  • thebenthic

    this is a horrible album cover. straight bullshit. nocturnal was a good album cover, but the rest of their album covers are shit. on a slight tangent animositys “animal” was/is the best album cover art of all time, hands down.

    • alex

      Nocturnals cover is the most boring out of all of them. This cover kind of reminds me of death/solstice. I dig it.

  • Z

    At first I was like…
    Then I was like…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • moose_knuckle

    Its pretty different, kinda retro. I think i like it.

  • alex

    this is badass.

  • Ahab

    A lot of good albums coming out in September. Can’t wait.

  • braincake

    all this stuff is useless. what you need to be talking about is the new nelson album.

  • Ryd1ZZ

    I’m feelin it. The new cd should be sick.

  • Spanky

    The guy in the red hood on the far left is lookin at me

  • xBEARFIGHTx

    thebenthic says: ” I’m gay. blah blah blah blah ANIMOSITY blah blah blah blah”

    • MacDuff

      This art rules.

      • xBEARFIGHTx

        It’s pretty bad. Kinda goofy to me but ehhhhh everyone has an opinion. No care really.

  • axe

    reminds me of the semi-weird artworks of 70s prog bands.

  • Chud

    80′s videogame box art. YES!

  • Ryan

    when i first saw this, i thought it sucked, but now that i’m really really high, this is amazing

  • dick?

    powerslave anybody?

    and yes, i dig.

  • Ronnie

    I think this is fucking sick artwork with an old-school vibe. But why the fuck would you trash a band cause of the artwork? It doesn’t matter what’s on the cover, it’s the music.

  • Bicro

    This is obviously a ripoff of Impaled Nazarine’s “Ugra Karma” original artwork.

  • Jake

    Looks like a ritual on some weird planet based on the “Heavy Metal” animated movies.

  • MarilynMansonFreak

    Cover art sucks and im not gonna buy this cd just because of it. this band is so gay now cuz of this stupid cover.

    • xBEARFIGHTx

      Your username says it all boy-o!

  • Petro1313

    At least this album art has colour in it. Nocturnal was good, but it was only one colour. This reminds me of old school death metal album covers. Not every metal album has to have sepia toned or grey/black album art.

  • James

    this is gona be sick!

    i already heard one of the songs for this album on Revolvers website! It sounds sick, but the solo’s are odd, not bad, just odd.
