Morbid Angel - Reveal Cover Art Work From New Album Designed By Gustavo Sazes
Morbid Angel revealed the cover artwork of their newest opus Illud Divinum Insanus :
It was designed by Gustavo Sazes, who commented on it:
"To create this cover we worked from several references, ideas, elements, and I would say a ''world'' of options and paths. After a long brainstorming period and some [good and bad] ideas left behind we came up with the concept of this organic surreal insane being; a fallen God or a weird mirror image of our own madness. It is a different Morbid Angel cover for sure, but I think that's how Morbid Angel is...Deviant and different on each new release. They never repeat themselves. They are always pushing the boundaries and setting new standards. I'm really proud of the final results and hope the fans appreciate my work, while listening to the new album!"
Also was revealed the cover artwork of their single Nevermore, designed by French artists Valnoir and Fursy Teyssier for Metastazis:

I think the artwork for nevermore is probably better than the artwork for the actual album.... Still though i hope the new stuff is worth the wait.

Terrible album cover art. The artwork for the single is infinitely superior.

Single artwork >>>>>> album artwork The album artwork isn't really bad... but it dissapoints me. Specially since the single's artwork is very good imo.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 30.03.2011 at 22:04 As silly as this sounds i dont like the cover because it looks too "Modern" if you know what i mean... it just doesnt suit an old school band like MA. I was expecting something along the lines of Formulas.

Written by @gent_-_orange on 30.03.2011 at 22:52 indeed way too modern and also sterile.plus it's all cluttered. Too much stuff put on it.

I 'm not sure about the album artwork. Marcel is right, the guys mask is clearly a copy of Nergal's mask... But the single cover art is awesome. Different from everything they did in the past and well thought... Anyway, I'm really looking forward to hear this new sound...

I think the album artwork is way better than the single, which looks like a low quality comic book still.

I don't see anything wrong with either of artworks, though I prefer the album one. However, I'm quite curious about this release...

I think the album art woulda been better without the sidebar. but whatever, the single art looks like the CNK's L'Hymne A La Joie cover. sorta.

Pretty bad cover. But what's inside is what counts. I hope it's in the same style of Covenant.

Can't imagine how stoked the fans must be. Even I am curious... As far as the cover, I would like to see it in higher resolution.

I agree with and reiterate the prevailing opinion that the album cover art, while nice 'n' all, with its modern-mystical sheen, the single art would look a lot better on a T-shirt. Maybe an all-over style one. The music is what's really important...particularly as this will be coming in time for them to raid Singapore in May!
