Dutch black metallers Dystopia will unleash their second full-length album, Chaos Philosophorum, on 21st April. The album was recorded at Studio Helvete in Den Helder, mixed by Thomas Cochrane of TC Music and finally mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Nails, Hooded Menace, Oathbreaker,...). The artwork of the follow-up to 2013's Haat was designed by Adam Burke (Mare Cognitum, Mos Generator, Vektor) from Nightjar Illustration and can be seen below.
Dystopia frontman Dennis Onsia commented: "After years of growing and maturing towards our own sound, Chaos Philosophorum feels like the first serious step in our own direction. This album represents us one hundred percent, both musically and emotionally. It includes influences from a lot of diverse musical genres, but I feel that we succeeded in making this album both original and organic."
Themes on Chaos Philosophorum deal with space, existence and death. "We wanted to combine these concepts in our artwork, so we took the medieval plague doctor as a strong and recognizable symbol of death, and combined it with the almost magical shapes and colors of a galaxy. As if he is casting a spell. The artist Adam Burke did a tremendous job converting our ideas into this artwork."
The official Chaos Philosophorum release-show will take place on 21st April at the renowned 'Patronaat' venue in Haarlem, The Netherlands. Link
