Code Unveils "Resplendent Grotesque" Album Artwork

U.K. based black metal band Code has issued the following announcement about unveiling the artwork for their new album on their MySpace blog:

"We are proud to unveil an advance preview of the beautiful and decadent album cover artwork for Resplendent Grotesque. Created, painted and lovingly slaved over by the enigmatic, brilliant and cult artist Stephen Kasner.

"We are eternally grateful and blessed for his vivid and inspired portrayal of our music. As the man himself remarked, "I feel very successful in channeling the emotions and ideas, in my own way, as they were described to me. And of course, your music was more than enough to evoke the demons. They have made themselves clearly known in these works, I am certain."

"We hope you admire it as much as we do."
