Lord of the Logos

Dear black metal non-listeners,
Do you know that your music's logos are a waste bin full of recycled dinner compared to these things? You can't even read half of them, but that is because they are so insane and intricately composed by Christophe Szpajdel. Just like the dense despair that emanates from the albums these adorn. Plus putting them next to awesome photos of trees and fog and stamping gold foil on the cover put this on my amazon wishlist.

Mount Eerie black metal album "Wind's Poem"

So Mount Eerie's new album Wind's Poem is being touted as black metal, which, judging by the black metal influence evident on the previous release Black Wooden Ceiling Opening, will probably be awesome. Phil Elverum's music is generally haunting and personal, but coupled with the intensity of black metal (the upcoming tour will include two drummers, gongs, and walls of amps) this is going to be the perfect soundtrack for sitting alone in the dark.
Besides CD and digital releases there will be a clear vinyl 2xLP in a gatefold jacket with bronze foil stamping and a pull out lyric poster.
Unfortunately, there is no news on whether Elverum will don corpse paint.
