Process of Guilt to Release Black Earth Sept. 22
Even if the preview trailer below for Process of Guilt‘s upcoming fourth album, Black Earth, didn’t sound heavy as all hell — and tense! — and even if the record wasn’t mixed by Andrew Schneider, whose involvement in just about anything is usually enough to pique my interest, I’d still be posting about this record. Because look — just look — at that friggin’ cover art. Really look at it. The way the branches evoke fingers. The way the cowl turns the those fingers into the shape of a face, the brown leaves evoking death, the contrast between black and white. It’s gorgeous and horrifying. I don’t know who set it up or took the photo — there’s no info included on it in what came down the PR wire — but wow. Genuinely striking. It’s been a minute since I added anything to my ongoing best artwork of 2017 list, but this gets right on there. It doesn’t even have the album title on it. What, like you’re gonna look at this once and forget who it is? Awesome.
