Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

Up-and-coming multinational blues rockers BLUES PILLS have unveiled the artwork to their forthcoming self-titled debut album, to be released via Nuclear Blast on August 5th, created by world renowned Dutch artist Marijke Koger-Dunham (THE BEATLES, GEORGE HARRISON, ERIC CLAPTON).

“She painted this sometime in the late ‘60s,” states the band, “and because we were looking for some ‘60s-inspired artwork, we thought, ‘What could be better?’ For us, it is a representation of the balance of life, as shown in the symbolism of natural dualities such as darkness and light, sun and moon, life and death, etc. It shows how opposite forces are interconnected and complement each other to form a whole. Besides that, it just looks absolutely amazing!”

Due out in North America on August 5th, Blues Pills was produced by Don Alsterberg (GRAVEYARD, SOUNDTRACK OF OUR LIVES, THE INTERNATIONAL NOISE CONSPIRACY) and is the band’s follow-up to last year’s 4-song Devil Man EP.
