Origin have unveiled the details for their new album “Omnipresent“. It will be released through Nuclear Blast on July 08th in North America and features the below artwork done by Colin Marks. The band recorded, mixed and mastered the affair at Menegroth – The Thousand Caves with Colin Marston.
“Omnipresent” marks the bands proper recording (and writing) debut with vocalist Jason Keyser, who had the following to say of the cover art for the outing:
“We were very happy to be able to work again with Colin Marks of Rain Song Design for the artwork of Omnipresent. He designed the art for our previous album, Entity, which had a barren, stripped down minimalism, but for Omnipresent we wanted bigger. We were looking for something that would represent the total insignificance and helplessness of humanity to the impending doom of the universe that surrounds us at all times.
It’s a strong running theme of the album lyrically; how our pride and arrogance can advance us as a species in so many ways, eventually conquering the unknown reaches of space. But ultimately we continue to exist only at the whim of the cold, indiscriminate forces that could snuff our sentient spark at any moment.
The title of the album, Omnipresent, works perfectly with the artwork in the way that omnipresence does not come from expanding to new worlds and growing as a species, but only through being whittled down to a last living being alone in the universe. The final failed experiment of life has no comparison, it is the most powerful, only through our sentient extinction can we finally understand some sliver of godhood.”
