ARMAGEDDON, the Swedish melodic death metal outfit led by former ARCH ENEMY guitarist Christopher Amott is currently streaming “The Watcher,” a song from the band’s forthcoming 2015 album, Captivity and Devourment. The album will be released on January 26, 2015 via Listenable Records. The CD was mixed by Fredrik Larnemo at Studio Recordia and mastered at Stockholm Mastering.
The cover artwork for Captivity & Devourment was designed by visual master Paolo Girardi, who created this oil painting after reading the album lyrics and story written by Claudius. The group states: “He took his own inspiration and painted a scene of total destruction as described across the album. We thoroughly enjoyed our collaboration with him. We strictly did not want the uninspired digital photoshop album art that is so prevalent these days. This is hand painted visions of a man inspired by music.”
