NEURAXIS 'Asylon' Cover Artwork Unveiled

Montreal-based death metallers NEURAXIS will release their sixth album, "Asylon", in North America on February 15, 2011. The cover art was created by artist Dennis Sibeijn of Damnengine Artwork, who worked with the band on its previous CD, "The Thin Line Between", as well with JOB FOR A COWBOY, CHIMAIRA and more. "Asylon" was recorded at Wildsound Studio with producer Chris Donaldson (CRYPTOPSY, THE LAST FELONY, THE AGONIST). Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Savior And Destroyer", "Left To Devour", "V" and the title track. Vocalist Alex Leblanc commented on the cover: "As many of you will see, [the 'Asylon' cover] is very different from all our previous album covers. Since the lyrics and the music are so connected on the new record, we wanted the cover to represent perfectly the vibe...dark, visceral and heavy. We used a lot of dark green to represent the sick/poisonous mood of the lyrics." NEURAXIS will support SEPULTURA on a spring North American headlining tour. In addition, NEURAXIS will hit the road with death metal masters DEICIDE in February and March. Leblanc commented: "[The trek with SEPULTURA is] a massive tour covering the whole North American circuit. "Is it really necessary to tell you how stoked we are to be a part of this??? I remember moshing in high school corridors listening to 'Arise' back in the day. "This tour will start one month after the DEICIDE tour so it will be a good and busy winter/spring for us." NEURAXIS' last album, "The Thin Line Between", was released in July 2008 via Prosthetic Records. The CD was recorded by Jeff Fortin (ANONYMOUS) and features guest vocals from Luc Lemay (GORGUTS), as well as artwork by Dennis Sibejin (CHIMAIRA, JOB FOR A COWBOY)
