Arch Enemy will be releasing their new album, Will to Power, on September 8th via Century Media. It will be the first album new-ish guitarist Jeff Loomis plays on.
Today, the band unveiled the cover for the album, designed by Alex Reisfar:
Band founder Michael Ammott had this to say about the cover:
“It was a pleasure working with Alex Reisfar on the ‘Will to Power’ cover artwork, he immediately grasped the concept and atmosphere we were looking for with this album. We talked about the double edged sword that is human ambition, how it can be outstandingly creative and beautiful but can also be turned into something dark and powerful. Alex proceeded to masterfully paint a strong image that evokes a lot of feelings. The human skull as a central focal point, the flesh sort of falling off into the circular pattern. The snake ouroboros weaving in and out of the mouths and throats of the severed heads of a wolf, a goat and a vampire bat… All representing self determination and a predatory, almost parasitic will to power.”
The press release also notes “fans can currently take part in a special campaign which will allow them to sign up and have their name featured in the Will to Power Deluxe Box Set Edition.” Get details here.
