Artist Joachim Luetke Discusses New Dimmu Borgir Album's Artwork

The third of four portions of the new artwork for the as-yet-untitled Dimmu Borgir album has been uploaded to the band’s MySpace page.

When asked if there’s a connection between the image on the new album and the character from "Death Cult Armageddon," German artist Joachim Luetke responds: "The [older] character’s called The Wanderer. Now, in retrospective, I feel that he’s always been the prophet, the herald of an age to come. Now he’s roaming the world after mankind’s demise. He’s the last of his kind. Neither human nor god – the perfect link to the age of the elder gods.”

Luetke’s artwork and layout art also appeared in the earlier album's "In Sorte Diaboli" and "Death Cult Armageddon." Dimmu Borgir's ninth studio album will be released in Germany on September 24th, in the rest of Europe on September 27th, and in North America on October 12th.
