SKELETONWITCH - Breathing The Fire Album Art Revealed
July 30, 2009, 15 years ago
Athens, Ohio’s SKELETONWITCH has unveiled the cover art of their new full length, Breathing The Fire, due out October 13th on Prosthetic Records.
The cover, designed by Andrei Bouzikov, who has previously done art for MUNICIPAL WASTE and many others, can be viewed on the left (click image to enlarge).
Scott Hedrick, the band's guitarist said about the cover, “The art really sums up the new album and what drew me to heavy metal in the first place: it’s brutal, evil, and in a sadistic way, it’s f#$king fun! Breathing The Fire is meaner, faster, and far more sickening than Beyond The Permafrost, and the art reflects that. We went for the jugular, and so does Andrei’s art. He did an amazing job. It’s f#$king killer when the artist and band share a similar approach: organic. Blood and sweat, ink and paint, tubes in amps, and non-triggered drums. A set of balls. Not gym shorts, sterile computer generated art, effects pedals and redundant arpeggios."
