The idea does sound cool, but I think all Ultimatum green would be better. :metal:

I did try the black and white. However, I wanted to continue the green theme from past Ultimatum albums. As well, black and white would make it look too much like Too Fast for Love, Balls to the Wall, Sticky Fingers, etc.

Do the all green. Any chance of a Metal Church song? I'd love to hear your take on them, especially the Wayne years as your voice has a little of the feel his did.

I like the colorized version. But I think the denim should be blue. Green denim? scratch

Kmorg, you're obvioulsy not familiar with Mr. Green Jeans from the old Captain Kangaroo show over on this side of the pond.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Green_Jeans

Think of Lex Metalis as a sort of tribute to the man in the green denim.

Indeed! Those albums were real POWER METAL! In those days, Metallica was opening for Metal Church. :metal:

I think it's a great song. When we were practicing this song, it sounded killer. We sped it up a bit and added some thrashier drum work. I'm gonna sing it a little more shrill as well. Should be cool.

The Christian market is going to love those "ripping flesh" "gonna eat your bones" lyrics.

"Gonna eat your bones" has been changed to "Gonna eat gumballs". Smile



Honestly, if a christian is listening to Ultimatum, then a bit o' brutal lyric shouldn't shake their faith unless they are a holier-than-thou hypocrite in the first place.

Retroactive is marketing this album in the secular market, especially in Europe. I think the usual Christian mail places will have it too, but the Christian music stores and chain stores won't be carrying it due to the song choices and the cover art.

In the long run, that might not be a bad thing at all. Good crossover potential, especially with the renewed interest in classic metal and thrash these days. I'm wishing you guys the very best with this release!
