'Reaping Death'

'Four Thrones'

'Wolves Curse'

'Lawless Darkness'

'Total Funeral'

The Digipak version will include the DEATH SS cover 'Chains Of Death' as a bonus track. The song can also be heard on the 'Reaping Death' picture 7" single, due April 30th and available for pre-order on Season of Mist's e-shop.

Frontman E. comments on the cover artwork: "The main cover of Lawless Darkness depicts the legions of the Antichrist, released and untamed from the broken tablets of law. By the shattering of order and the collapse of the laws of the creator god, the free spirits of lawless darkness shall return to the abode of their ancient gods, and unite with them once again. The artist behind this amazing painting as well as the additional artwork for the album goes by the name of Zbigniew Bielak, a well kept secret in the world of metal. His flawless detail and all-devouring capacity suits us perfectly, a match made in hell indeed."
