March 17, 2014, 10 years ago
US progressive power metal originators STEEL PROPHET have unveiled the cover artwork for Omniscient, the album that marks the band's comeback ten years after their last studio release.
The spectacular artwork was specifically created for Omniscient by German artist Timo Würz and represents one of the central themes of the album, "The Tree Of Knowledge".
Omniscient is a concept album based on an original story written by lead guitarist and founding member Steve Kachinsky Blakmoor, and "The Tree Of Knowledge" displayed on the cover represents a very important "character" in the plot.
Following Blackmoor's suggestions, Würz has also created 12 additional, original panels that will guide the listener through the whole story.
Regarding the album's concept, Blackmoor adds, "It was great to work with Timo. His sense of form, color and space are impeccable. He has great imagination, and his familiarity with the concepts we wanted to work with made it a perfect fit in bringing the story ideas to life."
Omniscient will be released by the end of June / beginning of July on limited-edition digibook CD, standard CD, limited-edition double LP and digital formats. Further details to follow.
