jhulud Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Being that the release date is looming...well, kinda...on October 9th...may as well start a thread. Why the fuck not! Don't panic yet...no pre-orders have gone up. In the newest issued of Decibel...there's a great interview with the band and some insight into the formats to be released for the album: 2xLP and a deluxe CD w/ book! My wallet is already weeping. 8/28 Update; Pre-orders are up and running: http://deathwishinc.com/estore/category/NEW.html http://kingsroadmerch.com/converge/ Pressing info: DON'T FUCKIN' ASK! Not yet at least. Known breakdown for 2xLP Deathwish Inc. = 3 colors and Black 180gram (/1,000) KingsRoad Merch / Epitaph Webstore = Yellow (/1,000) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 At first I was a little bummed that we have already heard four songs from the record, but SEVENTEEN SONGS? I'm more than happy with 13 new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chhristopher Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Is that the album art? With the moons/converge logos? If so, that's totally not what I would have expected, and that's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazydiamond Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yes the album cover is minimal but he states that the inner art is crazy colorful......like life and stuff. Stoked its a double Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Is that the album art? With the moons/converge logos? If so, that's totally not what I would have expected, and that's awesome. Yup. It's the moon phases using the Converge arrowhead shield art... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarballs Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I can't wait for this! Other than Pig Destroyer, this is my most anticipated release of the fall. clagstein 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I wonder how large the 40-page booklet will be, and whether or not it'll be limited in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 kind of happy to see the change-up with the art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 It's definitely different, but perhaps not as iconic as everything else they've used as a cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 not yet, at least. i think the music defines whether the imagery is iconic or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) I can agree to certain aspects of that. But the imagery itself isn't as "specific" as Jane's face or No Heroes' eagle dove. Not that it's a big deal - I just struggle to imagine someone loving this album to death, five years from now, and committing to replicate its cover as a tattoo, stencil it on random objects, or mimicking its design through a wall of stacked CDs. And that has nothing to do with the quality or music itself; I'm speaking specifically from a design standpoint. Edited August 1, 2017 by Derek™ On the menu this evening – crow. Lots of crow.
