'The Sinister Supremacy' lyric video:

Darkane recently unveiled a behind-the-scenes look at the making of The Sinister Supremacy, which features a portion of the new track, 'In The Absence Of Pain'.

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.
