The upcoming latest effort from legendary Death Metallers MASTER entitled "The Human Machine" will now be released in an alternate Slipcase cover edition, which will be made available in only 2000 copies worldwide.
The alternate Slipcase cover edition was once again designed and painted by Eliran Kantor (Testament, Sigh, Anacrusis, GWAR, etc), who also did the actual album cover for "The Human Machine".
States Eliran Kantor: "The basic idea is to have a continuation of the story told in the real front cover, after the two policemen picked up the criminal from the floor. It's a lot simpler, it's a brand new image that will add value to this limited edition, and at the same time it reacts naturally with the real cover and the overall theme carried throughout the album, as this album has a specific subject matter and the 'arrest' scene is based on Paul's original idea."
MASTER "The Human Machine" will be out on 26th April in Europe and 25th May in North America.
MASTER - "The Human Machine" (Alternate Slipcase Cover)
Strictly limited to 2000 copies worldwide!
One of the longest running battle-scarred veterans of Extreme Metal MASTER returns with their most influentially outspoken album on "The Human Machine". Ingenuous yet uncouth Metal is somewhat sporadic in recent times of the development of brutal music, but Paul Speckmann & Co. seamlessly delivers a bombardment of unpretentious, merciless audio assault in what should be sanctioned as ‘Speck Metal’.
"The Human Machine" is an inexorable train-ride of old-fashioned jarring Death / Thrash riffs; with the inseparable Crust inspiration for good measure and the razor-blade gargling vocals of Paul Speckmann is truly magnificent. The end-result is a devastating brew of incessant head-banging mayhem!
Returning back to the trusty Shaark Studios (Root, Fleshless, etc), reinforced with a thicker and even more powerful organic production, “The Human Machine” is a true paradigm of MASTER at their peak with absolutely no regard for any form of trends and rules. Also featuring one of the most sought-after artist Eliran Kantor (Testament, Sigh, Anacrusis, etc) providing probably the most creatively stunning artwork the band has ever had.
On your knees for MASTER!
“Dragging its venomous old school intent like a caveman with his club, Master are proudly living up to their name and taking their place among death metal's founding fathers.” – Terrorizer Magazine (UK)
“For all those who like their daily dose of Death Metal raw and without frills - here´s your breakfast. Paul Speckmann and his boys deliver once more a good portion of straight forward Death Metal, stripped to the bone, without any fripperies. Well done!” – Rock Hard Magazine (Germany)
“In an era where so much "Death Metal" is overproduced, sanitized or mixed with something that ends in "core," it's nice to have something as ugly and nasty as Master. It'll put hair on your chest. It'll scare all the kiddies in the Suicide Silence shirts.” – Metal Maniacs (USA)
