We're very pleased to announce the following updates regarding our forthcoming EP - VELOTHI:
We can finally reveal the artwork for the EP, once again by our good friend Pedro Sena - Lordigan, who also handled the artwork for our last release.
He's done en excellent job capturing the vibe of not only the record, but the lore/setting as well, we've also hidden a few easter eggs in there for the lore buffs.
