Don't think you can compare the two really. Pumpkins and hand grenades don't leave me quite as turned on as an angel with a golden complexion. Oh and she has a sword, that'll come in handy in that nuclear apocalypse going on there.

My first reaction to that album cover was a chuckle after seeing the EP artwork.

Am I the only one who likes the cover art? Yeah it's CGI, and it's not the same as the older handdrawn stuff, but different =/= bad and the song sounds pretty good, much heavier than past stuff.

Compared to the horrendous artwork for the reissue of Septicflesh's "Mystic Places Of Dawn", this isn't too bad, but it's not very good either.  Probably slightly worse than the new Helloween artwork, as at least that one has pumpkins, and Jack Skellington in it.

I prefer Joe's cover.

If there was no angel and just an apocalypse it would be far better.

Written by [user id=118282] on 05.12.2012 at 21:21 That only makes it seem even worse! If the Helloween cover is unfinished (where did you hear that from?), then at least there's an excuse for it looking lousy. Both covers are bad, but I'd take the Helloween one if I had to choose between the two. The only good thing about the Stratovarius cover is the fire... I really like how that looks, shame it wasn't part of an overall better artwork. I really loved the cover for their last album, "Elysium" which was actually quite beautiful. This one just looks very tacky in comparison...

Guys, listend to the clip provided , i have high enough hopes for it , i mean stratovarius's lyrics can be so unbearably cringeworthy you have to turn it off straight away , but i think this could be a solid album , every band loose something special about them at some time , stratovarius have but lets not focus on the art ( seminal to the album itself i know) in the end its about the songs .

Written by Italics on 06.12.2012 at 01:34 Oh come on, they released a sample which was one and a half minutes long. Not much to talk about with that. It sounds good, but I want to hear the whole damn thing! Talking about the awful artwork is much more interesting.

Better than the Straight Out Of Hell artwork.
