No gonna lie, this album art is a dull idea (particularly this cover). Fun opportunity for fans to contribute thought. Affinity now, that was one fantastic graphic scheme. Obviously it's something that can (should) not be repeated by the band. However, it's a difficult one to improve upon. Either way, pumped for this release and pumped to see these guys and Leprous in Montreal, Nov 1, 2018.

Very much looking forward to this. Like the bit about them going in a heavier direction with the music, hopefully some more aggression with their great talent for melody and progressive song structures.
