Quebecois technical death metallers NEURAXIS have unveiled the cover of their upcoming album, Asylon, which will be released in North America on February 15th, 2011. The cover art was created by artist Dennis Sibeijn of Damnengine Artwork, who worked with the band on their previous album, The Thin Line Between, as well with JOB FOR A COWBOY, CHIMAIRA and more.

Asylon was recorded at Wildsound Studio with producer Chris Donaldson (CRYPTOPSY, THE LAST FELONY, THE AGONIST). Prosthetic has launched the pre-order for the album, at its official web store.

Vocalist Alex Leblanc commented on the cover: "So here is the cover for Asylon. As many of you will see, it is very different from all our previous album covers. Since the lyrics and the music are so connected on the new record, we wanted the cover to represent perfectly the vibe...dark, visceral and heavy. We used a lot of dark green to represent the sick/poisonous mood of the lyrics."

Neuraxis has just been confirmed as support for legendary extreme metal act, SEPULTURA on their spring headline run. This is in addition to the previously announced tour supporting death metal masters DEICIDE in February and March.

Leblanc commented on touring with the Brazilian trailblazers: "On another note, we just confirmed our participation to the Sepultura tour starting next april. It's a massive tour covering the whole north american circuit. Is it really necessary to tell you how stoked we are to be a part of this??? I remember moshing in high school corridors listening to "Arise" back in the days. This tour will start one month after the Deicide tour so it will be a good and busy winter/spring for us...See you guys on the road!"
