BROKEN HOPE has unveiled the album cover artwork for their new, long-awaited album, “Omen Of Disease”. The cover painting was created by world-renowned horror-artist, Wes Benscoter (Slayer, Hypocrisy, Autopsy, Kreator, etc).

BROKEN HOPE’s Jeremy Wagner comments: “Wes Benscoter is one of my favorite artists, EVER. In my opinion, he’s right up there with Frank Frazetta, Michael Whelan, and Todd Schorr. Ever since Benscoter did our “Repulsive Conception” and “Loathing” album covers, I’ve wanted to work with him again. I was beyond thrilled when Benscoter agreed to take on the “Omen Of Disease” project…and he nailed it! He’s captured the vile essence, putrid vibe, and apocalyptic, disease-laden horror of “Omen Of Disease”. Thank you for creating another masterpiece, Wes Benscoter.”

“Omen Of Disease” was recorded between two studios: drums were exclusively recorded at Belle City Sound in Racine, WI with engineer Chris Wisco (LAZARUS A.D., JUNGLE ROT, ORIGIN, GORGASM), and the remaining bulk of the album was completed at Mercenary Digital Studios in Zion, IL with engineer Scott Creekmore (BROKEN HOPE, DIRGE WITHIN, LIVIDITY).

“Omen Of Disease” will be released on September 30th via Century Media Records.

More than 10 years have passed since Chicago’s Broken Hope released the last of five blood-spattered slabs of death metal. The band’s comeback, Omen of Disease, is both a reinvention and a striking return to form. Original guitarist Jeremy Wagner is flanked by members of Dirge Within, who create a trenchant mix of skewed mid-paced rhythms and blinding blast beats for Gorgasm vocalist Damian Leski (who replaced the late Joe Ptacek) to gurgle and roar atop. In addition, the band injects scalpel-sharp melodies on tracks like “Give Me the Bottom Half” and “Ghastly” without losing an iota of intensity. Broken Hope still crush.
