Dublin, Ireland's extreme metal act, Mirrors Of Obsidian, have unveiled the artwork for their forthcoming debut full length album, From One Form, via a brand new Album Art Reveal video clip. The From One Form album art video clip also features brief audio samples of the band's debut single, 'Neutral Disease,' as well as their crushing upcoming single, 'The Core,' which showcases an even heavier side of the band's musical arsenal. Head on over and sample some teaser tracks while checking out the album artwork right here.

The band's hard hitting first single, 'Neutral Disease,' was launched on August 21, 2016 and can be streamed in it's entirety via Mirrors of Obsidian's official YouTube channel, as well as on Spotify. 'Neutral Disease' is also available for download via Bandcamp and iTunes.

Mirrors of Obsidian, which is comprised of instrumentalist, Eoin Ennis, and vocalist, Ciaran Ennis, had the following to say about From One Form's album artwork, the concept behind the album itself, and both the currently streaming single 'Neutral Disease,' and the upcoming single, 'The Core':
[Ciaran]: "We recently released our debut single, ‘Neutral Disease,’ and the reaction so far has been fantastic. Our second single, ‘The Core,’ is set for release on October 3rd, and while it still retains the intensity of ‘Neutral Disease,’ fans can expect a change of pace, layered vocals and some odd time signatures. We’re also extremely delighted to reveal the artwork for our forthcoming album, From One Form, which is set to see a release early in 2017. The artwork was designed by Eoin and I feel it really compliments the atmosphere of the album’s music and lyrics."

[Eoin]: "Inspired by the lyrical concept pervading From One Form, the artwork symbolises a shift in consciousness. A celestial alignment has occurred, the eclipse has passed and a new dawn is here. Nothing has been created or destroyed, things have only changed from one form to another."

Founded in 2010 and continuing to crush in 2016, Mirrors of Obsidian bring their own brand of modern extreme metal to the table, with a mix of Fear Factory-esque machinations, bits of Meshugganic influence and plenty of their own ideas to create a sound that is most certainly one they can call their own. Pre-orders for their forthcoming album, From One Form, will be available soon, so fans should be sure to keep an eye out for updates on those.
