Montréal experimental death metal band Krokmitën have unveiled the cover art for their upcoming new album, HETA, possibly hinting at a summer release. The final artwork is what Simlev, Krokmitën’s guitarist/vocalist captured as the album's concept.

HETA is mixed by Simlev, mastered by JF Dagenais (Kataklysm, Malevolent Creation, Misery Index) and will be available as a free download on the band’s official website and on its YouTube channel once released.

Frontman Simlev had this to reveal about this third offering: "HETA is a very primal and straight forward album. It will again consist of one non-stop single track clocking in at 36 minutes. The experimental aspect of Krokmitën is almost out of the equation this time around, but still features something ominous that you’ve probably never heard before. We're preparing something special for the release that I seriously think our fans will appreciate. A lot of water has flowed beneath the bridges here since Omicron-Omega and after all is said and done, I'm still working hard to release HETA this summer; since a DIY project like Krokmitën is an ever-learning experience, the process can become time-consuming, but there are no set-backs, everything is falling into place. As previously announced, Guyot has taken over drums duty on HETA: He's bursting with talent; fast, precise and creative. Some of you know him from Beyond Creation's first album, The Aura."

Watch Guyot talk HETA and play parts of the upcoming album with a drum-cam:

"The premise for the album goes like this: In their quest to prove the existence of the elusive H particle and to know more about dark energy and dark matter, 10,000 scientists and engineers from over 100 countries gathered together to build the largest single machine our world has ever seen; a gargantuan particle collider powerful enough to create and disrupt stars on galactic levels. Little did they know that they were ripping apart the very basic structures of space and time, thus allowing an unknown insidious force to slither through and tap into the population’s most primal instincts, to violently unleash them and ultimately lead mankind to extinction!" adds Simlev.
