That font is ugly as fuck. Does anyone else think that font is ugly as fuck? This layout is a mess.

Love the sculpture, but the thought had occurred to me. The Chinese font is fine but the English font is a little too self-consciously "metal" for my taste.

ANYWAY

The reason that there's Chinese on the cover is because Kannon is actually the feminine aspect of the Buddha, the woman who hears the prayers of people. The liner notes were specially commissioned. Apparently they're going to be an Asian studies professor explaining several Chinese Buddhist religious concepts and how they relate to the music.

Kannon is Japanese... Chinese is Guānyīn

It is. If it's larger than say, 900, ILF cuts the side right off. Just Google it and there are 2000p scans.

Album art will be stunning IRL. Southern Lord uses Stoughton printing for all their jackets, like Third Man Records... big thick jackets with high-res art glued on. If you preorder you get a 7" too

I haven't preordered it but I did read an interview with O'Malley the other day that was pretty cool. I think those dudes do a good job of trying to explain to people that smart metalheads are a thing, even though we're probably headed back to a dip in popular culture relevance.
