Finnish progressive metallers FIREPROVEN will release their farewell album 'Epilogue' on May 27th. Today the band tells more about the album's stunning cover art and its background & inspirations.
Petri Lampela, the artist who created the cover art of the album, explain:
“The album cover is basically about ends and beginnings. It depicts a scrap dealer in a post-apocalyptic setting who has stopped to take a look at a city on the horizon. The city consists of five skyscrapers that represent the members of the band and their future. It’s both sunset and dawn.”
And band’s guitarist Janne Väätämöinen added:
“The post-apocalyptic world seen in cover art has always fascinated me from cult films like Mad Max. Petri designed a magnificent cover, which is a work of art in itself but also has symbolism hidden in it. Each viewer understands the image in their own way and it is hoped that the future does not look like what appears in the image.”
Below you can watch the single "The King", a preview of their upcoming album:
'Epilogue' is the band's swan song, and you can expect an album that surrounds itself with the themes of change and loss, departure, and finality. Fans of extreme progressive metal will not be disappointed as the classical music meets metal fusion will leave a lasting pulse in your heart - or rather your ear drums, after you have listened to these 9 pieces of pure emotive and melodic grandeur…
