Every Time I Die revealed that they found their new album cover for Ex Lives from a Twitter post. The photograph, seen above, features a young man getting tackled by protest police at the G8 Summit. Fittingly, the protestor was wearing an Every Time I Die t-shirt, making for a perfect album cover.

Perhaps the theme of the photograph also melds together with the intention of the thrashy hard rock band’s new album. Lead Singer Keith Buckley commented on the video and lyrics for their first single, “Underwater Bimbos From Outer Space” (the video can be seen below):

“In order to write lyrics I had to pay attention to the defeatism that the music suggested. To compile this video I had to acknowledge the masochism I wrote of to myself. You don’t get rewarded for your faith and you don’t get celebrated for your heroism. Just when you find yourself attached, you have lost it. Everything is borrowed. C’est la vie.”

The album is due out on March 6 via Epitaph Records and was produced by Joe Baressi (The Melvins, Queens of the Stone Age, Parkway Drive). Every Time I Die will support their album by going on tour with Los Angeles hardcore legends Terror, followed by a slot on this year’s Vans Warped Tour.
