Any weird ideas?
Right now my fave for the title is "When dead meets dying ..."
Now as we have Mistress Thangelica here with us ... any ideas for the artwork of such a title?

No. But I got an idea for Bellys of Doom! But that would include Lord Vicar, Jochen Fopp perhaps and me!

Lost in the choas I call a mind I am sure there are some really great ideas for album titles and cover art.Just nothing that I think is good enough to post right now.
If you did go with the title The dead meets the dying here is an idea for the album cover..
An almost completly decayed person where you mostly see nothing but bones,pieces of rotten flesh and shreds of clothing.Have that person coming from the sky like an angel would be coming down.Then you see another person laying on the ground holding a knife in their hand with blood dripping from it.That person would have various wounds to themselves that they had caused with the knife.One of these being a slit neck.Have them reaching toward the decayed person with a smile on their face.

The titles seems to suggest something spiritual. Out of body / near death experience, those are the associations i get. There for i think you need to have a nice breasted woman, with dark hair, drinking blood from a skull on the cover!!!  |

I read somewhere, somebody said you should print the lyrics in the next album's booklet (sorry, can't find who said it or where, but it was in this forum somewhere!) Anyway, I think you should not print the lyrics.  Vesa has the kind of voice where you can make out most of the words, but the occasional mystery is a good thing. ...As it is you guys have the best lyrics page on the web! As for artwork, I think the imagery inside the SM album is first-rate. It feels gritty and dark, and those images feel more important because there are no words to act as a distraction. The figures in the candle image are fabulous! The booklet is a fantastic success, I think. The only thing I would have changed slightly would have been to have a longer exposure on the front cover picture, so that the high arches of the ceiling are slightly more visible, just so the setting is a little clearer.  If you do go with "When dead meets dying ...", then that speaks to me of something crossing a threshold, and not necessarily in the expected direction! How about a lady lying on her back on soft grass, her head is closest to us and she looks at us with an enigmatic smile on her face. As you look down her body, the closer you get to her feet, the more she is touched by death, the more she is in decay. Likewise, the further into the photo you look, the background also turns from soft grass into decay with dead trees and wasteland far in the distance. The key is that it is subtle, so that you do not immediately spot the death, at first glance all looks serene.... ;D haha, I should be at work..... |

I have another idea that you could use for the cover if you call the album Dead,Dying or Alive.You could use three images of a person.In the first image for dead have the person standing straight up not moving at all with a look of longing on their face,like they are missing something but don't know what.The second image for dying have the person holding a broken guitar or something else that can symbolize music with tears in their eyes like they have been hurt very badly.For the third image of alive have the person holding a cd or maybe a album with the SM logo on it and have them smiling like they have just found a long lost treasure.The cover would symbolize that without music you are dead,when you are loosing music you are dying and when you have music you are alive.

Some ideas send to later-to-be-announced record company.
Cover will be like something from movie "Sleepy Hollow", I hope?
