San Francisco Bay Area progressive extreme metallers, CORMORANT, have just unveiled the artwork for their upcoming full-length album, "Metazoa," which is due out on September 22, 2009. The album will initially be released as a six panel Digipack by Saturnine Media, while a vinyl version will be made available in the coming months.
CORMORANT vocalist/bassist Arthur von Nagel comments on artist Julie Dillon’s work for Metazoa, “The colors she used were so vibrant, a style out of the norm for most metal, and a good match for the visual aspects of our music. I’m tired of all these bland and drab metal covers. Van Gogh proved you could use vibrant colors and still express dark and complex emotion. We're especially fond of the artwork's 'mural' quality, as the full piece actually extends over three whole panels of the Digipak, and her work is very old-school - there's a timeless quality to it. We first commissioned a logo from her, and her final design was absolutely stunning, so we of course felt a full-on album design was the right course of action. We couldn't be happier with the result.”
"Metazoa" was recorded with, produced, and mixed by Billy Anderson (NEUROSIS, MELVINS, SLEEP, PRIMORDIAL) while Justin Weis (HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE, LUDICRA, SLOUGH FEG) handled mastering duties.
