nice modern design work on this new Omegas Lp.... it's refreshing to see such clean and methodical cover art from such a brutal hardcore outfit. the central image is simply a gradient color circle, prominently displayed large and bold, with the typography remaining small a and understated to anchor it down in the four corners of the cover. very classy, very well done....
these covers were offset printed on an uncoated matte cover stock and professionally assembled. the back cover is a mirrored image of the front cover with the addition of the track listing added in. this was a risky move, cause it all comes down to the strength of the front cover.... it kind of toes the line between "design brilliance" and "just plain lazy", and lucky for them it works really well in this case....
there is also an 11" x 11" 2 sided printed insert, on the front side is the essential hardcore photo collage, gotta love it....
on the back side there is a lyric sheet and then some more photos? this starts to look a little jumbled to me, maybe just leaving it as a lyric sheet with some larger type would have been the better choice....
my copy came on clear vinyl, which is a personal favorite of mine. A side label was a nice and easy tie-in to the front cover....
B side label ties into the lyric sheet. great photo....
overall, a top notch release, go to the Parts Unknown website for info on where to get yours...
