Agreed. Whatever my opinion of the covers might be this is really a great fucking band.

Are you serious? 
"Spectres.." and "Conjurers.." artwork is fvkin great. Perfeclty fits the music.
Maybe Haxan is a little plain but definitely nothing bad at all. |
I actually like the CD layout for Haxan more than the vinyl.

The grim and rather plain basic artwork of the albums gives this cryptic feel to the appearance of those albums I think.
Dirty and without any glamor. ...as if unearthed from a time prior to digital trickery and magical computer tools to make everything look glossy.
Or it can be they just went broke recording and considered what was at hand as good enough. |

Ive always liked to CdG art, I agree that it adds to the cryptc feel. However, as someone else pointed out by this point I couldnt care less if it was done by a five year old, I just want to hear new material.

CdG covers may not look so nice when printed big. So in LP cover they might seem too simplistic but have to keep in mind that theyre polish and poles have strong tradition with tapes. So that Henbane coverart fits perfectly to tape. As did previous artworks.
Hopefully they also release black shirt with green printing.
But its already mid january, where is the record?

You obviously don't get the point. I am not from the Moyen-Goat-fraction, but looking at your user-name....well, let's drop that.
All I said was that such great music deserves a great artwork and it would be the cherry on top of the cream if CdG would consider hiring some good artist, as they are obviously not capable to draw something themselves. There would be dozens of fitting artists who would love to do one, I am sure. |

I think the art for Häxan is great. Especially the booklet of the CD contains the kind of images I would visualize in my head while listening to the album even if it didn't have any artwork at all. Really looking forward to Henbane.
And I for one can't understand how one cannot care about the artwork, of course I would still buy an album I knew had good music on it if the artwork sucked but... The artwork can really put you in mood for the music if it fits and is good.
