Artwork...

Orion Landau from Relapse has yet again graced our album with an AMAZING artwork. The picture (at the left) is the front of the CD, the rest you'll have to wait for but it's very disturbing images that all go along with the concept of Rotting Paradise. The CD will be a six-panel digipack with a 12-panel booklet. The album will also be released on vinyl in a gatefold cover with a slightly different front image."
