Broken Hope – ‘Omen Of Disease’ CD

‘Omen Of Disease’ was recorded between two studios: drums were exclusively recorded at Belle City Sound in Racine, WI with engineer Chris Wisco, and the remaining bulk of the album was completed at Mercenary Digital Studios in Zion, IL with engineer Scott Creekmore.

It is an album that sees an old band trying to play to a younger audience, but it tends to exhibit just a bit more of the older school of brutality prior to the advent of the “tech vs. slam” dichotomy. If anything, the bizarrely gruesome album art may be interpreted as a somewhat deceptive marketing ploy given its implicit correlation to the aforementioned new mode of disseminating tales of gore and horror.

The cover painting was created by world-renowned horror-artist Wes Benscoter (Slayer, Hypocrisy, Autopsy, Kreator, etc.).
