Acclaimed Death Metal marauders, Immolation, just announced their new album, "Descent." The sleeve artwork was designed by Israeli illustrator, Eliran Kantor, who also created the covers of the American group's recent records.
"The concept of having a lone fallen angel caught between ethereal light from above and scorching heat from below came from the band," Kantor comments. "I contributed the idea of the angel grabbing its wings looking down in terror in order to portray a futile survival instinct, with the lower parts of the body resembling crumbling charred white coal. Thank you, Summer BBQ, for the inspiration."
The complete mixed-media illustration has a vertical format and offers a broader view of the heavenly/hellish setting. See it below.
Immolation's "Descent" will be available on April 10 through Nuclear Blast. Pre-order at https://immolation.bfan.link/descent
