Alright, I just finished these last night. Do post comments or ideas :) The song titles and credits will still change a little before the final product, but this should give a nice idea :)

yeah, looks like destruction :D but is it only me, or are the colors on the back more intense?

the guest vocals thing is empty, is there a reason for that?

Yes, as I mentioned in the original post :) It's not yet 100% certain, so I left it empty for this preview :) Once it's certain, I'll just add the name to the picture :)

The two project files are already taking over 150 MB :lol:

is it about death and destruction?


Partially :) The lyrics go through the phases between an outbreak of worldwide nuclear war, the events during the war, and the moments after the war with the survivors roaming about trying to survive the fallout, nuclear winter and all the jolly fun stuff :lol:

but is it only me, or are the colors on the back more intense?


It's meant to be like that with the nuclear blast occuring there :) While on the front, the primary blasts have already happened.

Though I might change them for consistency.

what font did you use for the kind of marker pen effect?

On the back cover? It's called "Brushed", you can get it here: http://fonts.goldenweb.it/index_file/l/ ... fault.html (near the bottom).


Here's another version of the cover art:

"Guest vocals by" is now sorta hanging because you changed the style. On the first version it looked like the guest vocals were done by Wasteland and on later versions that is not discernible anymore. Or am I missing something?

Guest vocals are not yet given, it's just a placeholder. Wasteland is the title of the album (at the moment). The vocals are not yet 100% certain they'll happen, so I haven't written the name in yet :)

Ah. I seemed kinda strange to name the album after the guest vocalist. :shock:

if you need guest vocals then I can help if needs be =D. if you "want" guest vocals then I can "participate" if needs be =D.

I just want vocals :lol: I'll see if the other guy has the chance to get anything done, and if not, I'll ring you :D

I updated the band website and added a teaser sample :)

I also did some studio report thingies from the previous albums and of course the new one.
