    Haha after seeing the 'pencil scribble of the album's cover' I wasn't expecting this cover art to look like this. It is fun and colorful. Also a bit less 'serious'. Looks more like a cover art for a prog rock/metal album. I like it.

    My first thought was The Flower Kings but yes, this cover art also fits for Mastodon.

    The Giant already wasn't funeral doom so it will be unlikely if they rreturned to playing funeral doom. Ah well just one more week and I will get to hear the new album.

    I wouldn't mind a slight change of direction. Even funeral doom bands need to evolve and improve.
    Look at Evoken, they've been evolving slightly with every new album. Not dramatic changes, but small ones.
    I like bands who do this.

    Ahab already had quite a big change in direction with The Giant going from funeral doom the first two albums to post metal on The Giant.
