S A M A E L unveils artwork for new album


Swiss extreme metal warriors SAMAEL have revealed the artwork for the bands anticipated release "Lux Mundi".
FROM SAMAEL:
Swiss Dark metallers S A M A E L have chosen "Lux Mundi" (which
translates in English as "Light of the World") as the title for their
upcoming album.

"Lux Mundi" will be out in North America on May 3rd, adorned with the following cover artwork:


"For
the cover artwork of "Lux Mundi" I envisioned a series of rays
starting or ending at the centre of the cover", comments frontman
Vorph. "I wasn't even thinking about any kind of motives, just black on
black using a matte and shining black to make the rays apparent. I
spoke about that with Patrick (Pidoux) who did the artwork of "Solar
Soul" and "Above" and he came out with that idea upon which we
immediately all agree".

"I drew a very graphic version of
an eye which represents sight, the first human sense able to capture
light", added Patrick Pidoux.

The "Antigod" EP, featuring
a song from "Lux Mundi" is still available as exclusive digital
download for North America. Check it out on iTunes!
