Cobalt - Reveal New Album Cover And First Details


The highly anticipated new album from black metallers Cobalt is coming out this March via Profound Lore Records and the first details have just been revealed. For now, we already know that the new album will be titled Slow Forever and it's a double album with vocals from Charlie Fell (ex-Lord Mantis, Nachtmystium, Abigail Williams). The cover art, done by Jimmy Hubbard, is a combination of photography, sketches, ink blots, and a little bit of digital manipulation. Feast your eyes on it below.

The album will drop seven years after the band's seminal Gin album was released. More details will be released soon. Let the anticipation begin...




[Also thanks to Mr. Doctor!]

Cover isn't very nice, but it's Cobalt, so expectations are still through the roof. Hope being a double album doesn't stretch it thin, though.

Hope to listen something similar to their last album, I guess...

The artwork is in the okay-ish range indeed... I'm sure that a more organic approach (=less digital manipulation) would have made it better.
Regarding the double album thing, I'm extemely curious. My bet is on interludes and ambient sections a la Eater Of Birds.

But yeah, expectations are ridiculously high for this one. I don't ant to cripple myself for that by wishing for too much but it's Cobalt ffs!

Yeah, I would have preferred another sepia-toned old photograph for sure, but I guess they wanted to go with something like that.

Trying to keep my expectations down at any rate. This album is going to exist under pretty different circumstances from the previous 2 (3) so we might end up with something totally different. That could be a good thing, but might be disastrous too. Fingers crossed!

Maybe not disastrous but certainly disappointing.

Well, what I meant was that I'm not seeing Cobalt's songwriting getting fucked so hard that it becomes a piece of shit of Lulu or Morbid Angel proportions.

Holy shit. I can't believe it's almost been 7 years since Gin came out. I credit that album for drawing me towards more extreme forms of metal. They bridged the gap between what I loved about bands like Tool and what I came to love about extreme metal.

Yeah I would bet my kidneys it wouldn't be that bad.
