Swedish melodic death metal act DARKANE have unveiled a behind-the-scenes look at the making of their new album, The Sinister Supremacy, which features a portion of the new track, 'In The Absence Of Pain'.

The band recently posted a lyric video for the title track of The Sinister Supremacy, due out in North America on July 2nd through Prosthetic Records.

The Sinister Supremacy will not only mark the first new music from the band in over five years, but will also include the return of vocalist Lawrence Mackrory, who was last heard on the band's 1999 debut, Rusted Angel.

The Sinister Supremacy tracklisting:

'Sounds Of Pre-Exsistence'

'The Sinister Supremacy'

'Mechanically Divine'

'Ostracized'

'The Decline'

'Insurrection Is Imminent'

'In the Absence Of Pain'

'Existence Is Just A State Of Mind'

The meaning behind the album's title, the cover art of which can be seen above, was explained by the band as follows: "The Sinister Supremacy is a metaphor for the evil that controls us. It’s the dark part of our minds and it’s inside us all. It tells us it’s ok to do bad things, to hurt other people, and hurt ourselves. It guides us into making choices based on pure selfishness, and it thrives on complete chaos. The cover art by Carlos Holmberg is a Rorschach test as seen by an individual who has completely succumbed to the sinister supremacy."

The Sinister Supremacy is currently available for pre-order with an exclusive bundle consisting of the album paired with a specially designed t-shirt.
