Drummer Henrik Ohlsson also commented on the choice of the album title and its artwork: "The album title came from the scientific fact that you can't see at least 95% of the universe and despite that fact we behave like we know everything there is to know. We trust our eyes even though they give us a very limited range of perception and we dismiss things because they seem to defy our narrow and cynical sense of logic. The title "Dark Matter Dimensions" stands for an appreciation and acknowledgement of the unseen worlds and dimensions, because without the existence of these unseen forces our physical universe would never be able to exist. These so-called "Dark Matter Dimensions", a term I use for everything unseen, orchestrates everything our eyes are allowed to see. And you can bring this down to a personal level aswell, from the macrocosmic to the microcosmic, and realize that our appearance stands for a small percentage of who we are. At least 95% of what we are consists of consciousness, thoughts, feelings and other unseen activities. So the term "Dark Matter Dimensions" applies on both macrocosmic and microcosmic levels. As above, so below.
As for the artwork I view at as a peak into a possible dark matter dimension, a surreal planetary body that defies our sense of what a planet looks like. Spontaneously I come think of it as a symbolic version of the current state of the earth."
The album is set to be released on October 2nd via Nuclear Blast.

I like the cover but I'm concerned about it, I think this album will be the end of the Scar Symmetry I loved... No Christian =

I was quite happy with Holographic universe, and I'm surprised at how quickly they are coming up with a new album already

Let's just see how this turns out. No one thought Ensiferum would be the same without Jari and they turned out better than ever. Looking forward to this one

I'm looking forward to it! =) it still sucks a lot about Christian not being with the band anymore, but the new vocalists are pretty awesome as well imo (at least they are live, so probably better in studio) and the rest of the band are still the same guys, so I hold my hopes high! and that cover don't look all that bad, really.. okay the others looked better (especially Holographic Universe OMG!) but still..

Well I like the artwork. Techy, abstracy, kinda darkish, very Scar Symmetry. Let's hope the first song (The Iconoclast) has something to do with Heaven Shall Burn's latest album - less powery and more brutal!!
