Akercocke Unveil Choronzon Cover Art

The cover artwork for Akercocke's forthcoming CD, "Choronzon", has been posted online at this location. Photographed and designed by legendary U.K. rock photographer Fin Costello, the cover provides a glimpse into the dark, theatrical universe of Akercocke's gothic occult metal.

Costello was Akercocke's "first choice, no question", according to vocalist/guitarist Jason Mendonca. "We are all huge fans of Bauhaus and Rush... as well as Emperor and Suffocation," Mendonca proclaimed.

"Choronzon" was mixed at Sonic Ranch studios in Tornillo, Texas with producer Neil Kernon and is set for an October 20 European release (November 4 in the U.S.) through Earache Records.
