Cover Artwork for upcoming UK Speed Power Metal band, DRAGONFORCE, sixth studio album entitled "Maximum Overload".
This Artwork is based on the band's album concept.
Quote from the band: "[...]a rough (veeeery rough) idea of what we would like to appear on our cover. So first of all, the album with be called Maximum Overload. By this we mean that nowadays people get a lot of infos coming from computers, internet with constant social network feeds and what not[...] Thats the theme of the cover. So here are the points. The main character, in the center. Head in his hands, looking down, suffering getting too much information. The main character is facing a computer screen, maybe one you can see through so you see inverted writing on the screen[...]and the light of the screen is shining on the main character[...] Streams of infos a la Matrix. Codes, numbers, letters (also japanese, russian, chinese, arab, indian...)[...] Ideally blue/green, all these coming at the main character. These are the infos hes getting the overload from. Other screens surrounding him, lighting the main character[...] The room is dark and the light comes from the screens and from the "matrix lines"[...] It needs to be a rather modern looking cover, computer digital kinda thing." "
""The album title and album cover Artwork is inspired by the constant bombardment of information we are subjected to during our daily lives" Herman Li said.
"We were in an airport departure lounge surrounded by TV screens, flight information screens and advertising screens. We then looked around and no one was saying a word, they were all looking at more screens on tablets, laptops and mobile phones, there's no escaping it, it's complete information overload!".
