Why so many people say "music is the main thing" and "cover artwork doesn't matter"? MY A$$!
Cover artworks do matter! Legendary albums like Killers, Restless and Wild, Motörhead, Wheels of Steel, Fighting the Word, Appetite for Destruction, British Steel, Master of Puppets (just to name few) are all have iconic artwork. It's better to remember to good ol' times' albums which had great music and awesome cover. It's better to wear a shirt with a cool cover on it. I'd never touch a shirt with Dominator or Decadent artwork on it.
If it really doesn't matter and it's the same energy and money to make it cool or ugly, why not to make a cool one?

Absolutely. Music , as well as drawing, gives emotions . Cool art work is needed for a greatness of come music event. For instance Doro has been workung with Geff Gilespy all of her carrier since 1987 and it was one of the ingredients of her sucsess.

And back to the songs...
The Undertaker is OK to me. Lyrics are strange though. Unusual from ACCEPT. The title track is just eh... Lacks of ideas. It's only a typical Tornillo-era ACCEPT standard, nothing more. Mark is very good in it but he alone cannot save the song.
Hopefully the rest is gonna be better.

as far as the covers go, i do appreciate them. i really like to really examine them and try to find all of the cool hidden stuff. but the one thing that was better about vinyl more than cd's is the size. i literally have to use a magnifier glass so see some of the stuff and especially to read lyrics on the inside.
but i'd still rather have great music and a crappy cover than have a killer cover and crappy music. that happened a LOT back in the 70's and 80's!!!

I kept distance from “2 Mean 2 Die” track to get ful inlression of it as a part of the album. But warching a short shot with Martin Motniv in a gym I got it. The phtase “I am 2 mean 2 die” seems the clone od David Reece “Riase Your metal voice”.

I have read that the release date is postponed till the end of January on the reason of manufacturing delay. Well, as there are almost no live gigs, the time has come to delay releases ... well, this joke sounds not so joyfull.

You're an analog man in a digital world By the way my son and I just talked about how much he (the six years old) is a retro man, cause all his fav bands (for example Queen, Ossian, Mike Oldfield, ACCEPT, .U.D.O., etc.) are old fashioned 80s stuff
