DAYLIGHT DIES
​

Due to unforeseen difficulties with the printing of the new Daylight Dies album 'Lost To The Living', Candlelight Records have regretfully had to postpone its UK & European release date until 14th July 2008. This difficult decision has been taken in order to ensure that the band's vision for their stunning new album is preserved, and to make sure it looks as good as it sounds!

'Lost To The Living' features captivatingly dark original artwork from renowned artist Travis Smith, who has worked with the band before and whose other previous collaborations include Opeth, Anathema & Katatonia!

With their new album, Daylight Dies have put forth the most mature and varied release of their career. The lush textures which were introduced with the previous album continue and are greatly expanded upon. Acoustic and clean guitars ride alongside heavy rhythms more prevalently than previously, creating a multi-layered sound saturated in atmosphere and depth. 'Lost to the Living' is a mix of beautiful melancholic leads and harsh dissonant rhythms; despair driven hooks and the overall dark atmosphere you've come to expect.
The release date for 'Lost To The Living' through sites such as itunes remains unaffected, and the album will be available for download from 30th June 2008.

Well done lads.

Oh...the cover's a bit Spinal Tap-ish, isn't it?

 

[Illnath]

Oh...the cover's a bit Spinal Tap-ish, isn't it?

It is, and Spinal Tap is the best!

But to reiterate to the confused.. the only ink used in the layout is reflective silver for the text/logo/lyrics. All other images are rendered by mixing glossy with matte black paper. So it takes light and reflection to reveal the images.. that was intentional. But the exceedingly black nature does bring an excellent ST parallel.. sure!

It's a pretty cool cover. Not my favorite but it's cool. It's... bleak.

As an artist, I guess I'm more of a fan of the "elaborate" covers.

I love the cover, very bleak and dark. I have to ask though what the face is. To me it looks like a childs face lying down..but not too sure...

Yeah, it's a childs face asleep.. and on the opposite side of the booklet (beneath the credits) is an older persons face asleep. The theme of "Lost to the Living" going from youth to old age..
