Many don't believe in love at first sight, but Detroit's heaviest deathcore act, AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH are betting that the distinct album art (created by the famed UK artist, Godmachine) for their upcoming EARACHE debut, PROPRIOCEPTION will be catching a lot of attention right from start.
"What better than a naked chick with her guts falling out?" says guitarist, Kyle McIlmurray. "The first thing a person sees is the album face. It's super important to have something that can catch an eye." Over a month away from PROPRIOCEPTION's June 29th release date, the album art has certainly been catching many an eye. The popular metal blog, NoiseCreep is counted among those who have given it major props, naming it as last week's "Album Art of the Week."
Outside of simply looking cool, the art offers an initial gateway to the concept of the album. "The album's concept basically revolves around a girl and the downfall of her sanity whilst seeing some of the corruption in the world today;" says McIlmurray, who praises Godmachine for taking their concept and turning it into something more extraordinary than anyone could have perceived. "We chose Godmachine because of his INCREDIBLE talent with illustration and ability to work with a concept. When we got the final print of the album artwork we all literally jumped around the van (we were on tour at the time) screaming at how sick it was. Pretty goofy how we get so worked up on those kinds of things, but it was 10 times better than we had hoped for."
