Yeah I got totally spammed on FB today by Devin. The cover is awesome.

That other photo he posted is sweet as well.

 

[GeertSamuel]

This cover is tha bomb, looks really cool.
Can't wait for the album!

BTW. The cat head, it reminds me of Batman Returns. There's also a cat head like that in there on the Shreck store...

Oh my god, it's getting closer... I can't wait !!!

 

[Aaron Smith]

I may or may not have them both

Really though, Ghost is amazing, the whole album is beautiful and atmospheric and just very sonically full and pleasing, "Texada" is one of the coolest soft/electronic songs Devin has ever done.

Deconstruction is totally awesome as well, really really dense and impressive. There are some ridiculously heavy parts, but more dynamics than I was expecting. As a whole I don't think it's heavier than "Alien", which I still think is one of the heaviest albums ever created, period. However, I'm not saying that the use of dynamics is in any way a bad thing...and the compositional aspect of Deconstruction is insane, I don't know how Devin even thinks of half of what he writes. There are also a few parts that will make you downright laugh

 

[Perishh]

So god damn excited for these two albums. Devin is coming to Australia later this year too so I cant wait to hear some of this material live!

WHERE CAN I PRE-ORDERZ?!?

Fuck I want to get my order in now but I can't find anywhere with it!! FML

 

[cobhc]

Mikael on vocals on one song?!? Fuck yeah! As well as Thordendal on guitars on Deconstruction? Wow!

Edit:- Aaron, I say this with the utmost respect.......................you're a cunt! I want copies of Ghost and Deconstruction!

I know this is from Ghost, not Deconstruction, but I can't stop listening to it. I just kept playing it in the background while at work yesterday. Love the brush work in the second half of the song.
