ALBUM ART ROUND-UP: NEWBIES FROM DARKEST HOUR AND EMMURE

I am really, really excited for The Human Romance, the new Darkest Hour album. These dudes are still at the top of their game, it’s their first release for a new label, Peter Wichers produced it, and, well, they’re Darkest Hour! How can you not get excited?

The band described their new album art to Metal Injection back in November, but now they’ve finally released it for all the world to see:

So that’s pretty fuckin’ metal, right?

The Human Romance comes out via eOne on February 22.

Meanwhile, over at Darkest Hour’s old label, Victory, they’re preparing to release a new Emmure album. The record is called Speaker of the Dead and the Emmure guys are nothing if not clever, so the cover, of course, is literally a photo of speakers:

Hardy har har.

Look, I know there are intelligent people that like this band, but as far as I’m concerned, Emmure are only good for one thing: to make me wanna listen to The Acacia Strain.

Speaker of the Dead comes out February 15.
