Ultimatum - Heart of Metal cover art...

Just saw that on FB. Very cool.

Neat-O.

Glad I was available to pose for this coverart.

Awesome!!!!

Very cool!!

Scott, are you sporting fangs?

Apparently. Haha!

The cover was drawn by comic book artist Dave Besanson and was commissioned by Roxx Records.

puts me in mind of the Murder by Pride cover for some reason. completely different than that though.

Kane Roberts is back!

Cool!

Bitchin'

Well, it's generating some strong opinions. People either love it or hate it. At least it's getting a reaction.

I have a complaint....NO BULLET BELT!!???


Very cool.

I was waiting so as not to be the first jerk, but I dislike the style of it quite a bit. That is, the artist's style... mainly the puffy face and weird skinny fingers of the left hand. The concept, though cheesy, if still appropriate. The logo, as always, is badass.

They do have a great logo.

I'd say it's average. a little cartooney for me.

The fingers are kind of creepy. I'm not a huge fan of the cartoon cover but I know some like it.

You're not a jerk if you don't like something. That's what this forum is for, to voice opinions.

I could take or leave the artwork, but I think the Heart of Metal font is way too emo-screamo. It clashes with everything else in the image, you know.

It's the font I picked for the box. It's that fancy "anniversary" font, but is all thrashed. I thought it worked but see your point.

Here's the original sketch...

I'm an artwork snob, dude. Haha.

Is there a price range for this one? And will it be an actual box? Kind of sick of buying so-called box sets and them turning out to be anything but that.

I love it, other than the face. The way the cheekbones are, combined with the shading makes the face look laughably bad compared to the rest of it.
Thats just me though.

Yes, Roxx is having a box made up. The box will fit the three CDs and DVD stacked, along with all the inserts and extras. The box will be black with white lettering and a silver embossed Ultimatum logo. They will be hand numbered 1-100.

Word.
