Azorean modern metallers STAMPKASE will release their debut album, Mechanorganism, in November 3rd. The band have revealed the cover artwork created by the acclaimed British artist Colin Marks below:

Colin Marks manages the London based studio Rain Song Design working primarily within the music and film industries. He has previously worked with famous acts such as KATAKLYSM, EXODUS, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, JEFF LOOMIS, NEVERMORE, ABORTED, SYLOSIS, SCAR SYMMETRY, THREAT SIGNAL, ALL SHALL PERISH, SUICIDE SILENCE and many more.

Colin ties in some words on Mechanorganism artwork: "The great thing about the album is that every song has a particular individual theme, and thus needed its own independent visual to accompany it, so we have a wide range of artwork running throughout. Each page is a new concept. It's refreshing to alternate the style of the imagery to tie in with the songs and their lyrics rather than keep a running theme as is generally the case.

It's been a pleasure collaborating with the band on this, and on top of that the album sounds awesome from what I've heard so far."

The band thoughts on the artwork great results: "When we reached Colin we were absolutely aware of his potential. However, we must say there was no way of imagining something so amazing, flawless and reliable about everything that goes on in the album, musically and lyrically. Despite our descriptions he digged so perfectly in all the concepts and added his own vision, that we had absolutely nothing to pinpoint during the process. He was right in our mood and came out like our sixth element."

Mechanorganism was recorded separately in Azores and Portugal mainland during the last two years.

Drums were tracked at the renowned Ultrasound Studios (ANGELUS APATRIDA, HEAVENWOOD, W.A.K.O., SWITCHTENSE) in Braga, with sound engineer Pedro Mendes. All other instruments were laid down in their home island with José Miranda and Carlos Rijo. Mixing and mastering duties were handled by Daniel Cardoso (Angelus Apatrida, ANNEKE VAN GIERSBERGEN).

Stampkase was formed in 2003 in São Miguel Island, Azores archipelago (Portugal), and have since spread their groove and odd tempos, as well as their sticky melodies, onstage with bands such as MNEMIC, FEAR MY THOUGHTS, DAGOBA, EXILIA, SWITCHTENSE and many others.
