UK-based thrashers Sylosis have just released the cover artwork for their upcoming album Monolith, which was handled this time by Dan Goldsworthy. You can view the jewel case cover and O-card cover below. Monolith, the band's third album, will be unleashed on October 5th via Nuclear Blast Records unlike it was previously announced by the label.

Vocalist and guitar player Josh Middleton commented: "We're beyond pleased with the artwork for Monolith. It needed to be something to accentuate the dark, gloomy vibe of the album without going for anything too cliche' or stereotypically metal. We listen to a lot of 70s progressive music and with the Art Nouveau style was quite popular at that time. At this point we don't want to reveal too much about the concept but one of the figures on the cover loosely represents the devil in disguise or a satyr. Some of the inspiration behind the concept came from Greek mythology. Working with Dan again as awesome. He's very patient, eager to please and can very quickly tap into what we're trying to put across. We always like to pay as much attention to the artwork as possible and it's never been an after thought for us. It's about creating a complete piece of work so the music and the packaging really go hand in hand."
