Rival Sons have revealed the artwork for their fifth album, 'Hollow Bones'.
Recorded at Nashville's LCS Studios with producer Dave Cobb, the follow up to 2014's ‘Great Western Valkyrie’ will be available later this year. Vocalist Jay Buchanan says:
"Each record we’ve made has been part of a distillation toward revealing the band’s essence. This record, finally is the release of the unapologetic, wild beast that has long lived within the ribs of Rival Sons howling to be freed."
Speaking about the album's artwork, a piece called Rainsong by artist Martin Wittfooth, guitarist Scott Holiday comments:
"I discovered Martin Wittfooth about half way through making ‘Hollow Bones’. I was immediately drawn into his work. I loved his imagery with animals and felt it was calm and unnerving all at the same time. I also loved the touch of whimsy and beautiful psychedelic overtones he used. First time I saw his work I immediately felt it was right for this album. I won't try to overly interpret the album cover or explain in detail why I believe it works perfectly with the album... but I can safely say I think this just might be my favourite cover of ours yet."
Meanwhile, the band are currently the sole support on the current Black SabbathThe End tour, they also play Download festival’s main stage in June.
