    “METAL. AS. FUCK.”

    indeed it is

    • Elitist Fuck

      Elk ARE fucking metal.

      • http://www.youtube.com/user/agmkreptile Agmkreptile

        huh?

      • http://white-horse-movies.blogspot.com/ Tyler

        That doesn’t even make since.

        • reezle

          that’ll be the elk horns then.

    There has been a lot of cool cover art coming out lately, more than likely though I am just not looking in the right places.

  • likmybaseballz

    indeed, in-fucking-deed

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Robert-Livingston/25310975 Robert Livingston

    Fucking cool!

  • Malevolus

    That ranks up there with the cover art from the new Heaven and Hell album.

    • ozzyzak

      It’s quite a bit better than the Heaven and Hell album, which to me just looked silly.

      • Tommy Lindbergsen

        The Heaven and Hell cover is metal as fuck this cover way sillier looking.

        • Tommy Lindbergsen

          Have any of you guys ever bought an album based on the cover art, knowing nothing of the band?

          • Metal Fuckin’ Dave

            Yep, Iron Maiden’s Number of the Beast in 1985. Changed my life.

          • Hassman

            Too many to name, sadly.

          • http://uponwingsofblack.blogspot.com/ \m/Eluveitie\m/

            I’ve downloaded lots of bands’ stuff because they had intriguing album art…like Elder’s self-titled or Outre by Portal, but I would never purchase a physical copy of an album without checking it out thoroughly beforehand, I don’t have that kinda money to throw around if I don’t know what I’m getting into

          • Tommy Lindbergsen

            Slayer-Reign in Blood I bought for the cover art and ended up really liking the music.
            Dream Theater- Images and Words is another one. I like covers by Dan Seagrave who does work for Suffocation, Demon Hunter and Decrepit Birth among many others.
            Psycroptic has awesome cover art too.

          • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Gavin/1396340262 Mark Gavin

            Sepultura – Chaos A.D.

            My life changed that day.

          • Drakodan

            I’d heard a bit of Mastodon, but when I saw Crack the Skye in a music shop, I took one look at the album cover went to the checkout with it.

      • metalguy

        heaven and hells music didnt match the album which made it sillier

  • Toxteth O’Grady

    WANT

  • http://www.crescentshield.com Dan

    Great cover, and it doesn’t look all computer-y.

  • http://runningthevoodoodown.blogspot.com pdf

    Now that is a metal album cover. Can’t wait to hear this album.

  • samthebrutal

    OOOO-aaahhhhh, Looks insanely brutal, can’t wait for the album to come out.

  • groverXIII

    Pretty cool… it’s a pity they didn’t get Jon Baizley to draw up another album cover for them, though.

  • steverazor

    Met these guys in Dallas opening for Amon Amarth – cool guys and an awesome set. First day buyer.

  • Ryd1ZZ

    Man, I am fucking stoked about this album. The artwork is great and I am very confident that it will slay.

  • http://uponwingsofblack.blogspot.com/ \m/Eluveitie\m/

    I love this band and I’m definitely looking forward to this album, but I like the Beyond The Permafrost art much better

    • http://www.metalspikybits.blogspot.com thrAsh Hathaway

      That was done by john dyer baizley right? His shit is badass!

  • Chud

    Not too subtle. I’m digging it.

  • Ziltoid

    Now that’s a good album cover…

  • TXHellbilly

    Saw these guys open for Danzig last year and they were fuckin brutal. This new album will surely not disappoint. First day buy here for sure!

  • http://www.ultimate-guitar.com big_metal_al

    Fucking AWESOME cover! Worship the witch bitch!!

  • John

    I used to watch this band when they were local to athens

  • http://white-horse-movies.blogspot.com/ Tyler

    I love the codpiece. Has to be the most metal codpiece EVER!

    • http://www.youtube.com/user/agmkreptile Agmkreptile

      naw, William Murderface had the best piece.
      it was totally diamond encrusted with an aluminum base.

      • http://white-horse-movies.blogspot.com/ Tyler

        I knew someone would say that.

      • JW Gacy

        (titanium based)

        I gots a reals cools cocks piece too!, bzzzzzzzzz………

        um… that’s a dildo…. strap-on dildo…

  • Charlie B

    The Good: Album cover is over the top cheesy like most old thrash covers. But still I’m not into thrash revival. I listen to the original bands if I wanted to listen to good thrash.

    • stu1

      I really don’t think they’re part of that. There’s thrash elements and shit, but I don’t lump them in with Municipal Waste and what not.

  • http://www.kingdomofnoise.blogspot.com MetalMatt

    Worship the ‘Witch!!!

  • Business Casual

    My most anticipated album of the year (along with Baroness). Saw them a few days ago with Trap Them / Savious and they smote (smited? were in to the smiting? had us smitten?)… er, they destroyed. This was on Friday in STL and the guitarist had JUST received the artwork that day… he showed me on his phone (sans band logo / album title)… I remember thinking, “do I need another PBR?,” which was immediately followed by, “that cover is rad,” followed shortly thereafter by, “I wish John Baizley had done it, though.”

    In any event, they played something like two or three new tunes, all of which seemed a bit heavier / death-y, less NWOBHM-y. For the most part, though, it was still blackened thrash like only they (and Absu, IMO) can deliver.

    Viva The Witch!

  • vikingfromhell890

    • http://www.metalspikybits.blogspot.com thrAsh Hathaway

      I definitely caught that. It’ll be cool to see the progression and get them all together. I smell a collectors package coming.

  • JRTME

    Absolutely Cliche’ !!!

  • http://www.themetalreporter.net TMR

    cliche or not, Metal As Fuck indeed … unless skulls, death, flames, and all out destruction is not metal anymore… emo?

    • GamlaSonn

      but yeah, it’s okedokey

  • ETIDIOT

    I just recently checked these guys out. Pretty sick riffs. I’ll definitely be checking the new album out in October. The artwork looks fucking epic.

  • TheHardG

    I cant wait to hear this album,badass album art for sure. I just hope the cd booklet is filled with more cool ass art for them to throw on a shirt.

  • http://supermassiveblog.randomfactlist.com/ Jerrod

    Idk, I love Skeletonwitch but Beyond The Permafrost’s cover was waaaaaaay more epic.
