Alcalá Norte reveals the cover of “Let’s leave it as it was”

Alcala North reveals his album cover “Let’s leave it as it was.” and its departure date for this November 4. In addition, the pre-sale of the colored edition of the next album is also open “Barad-Dûr splatter.”

The cover of “Let’s leave it as it was.” This is a digitization of the work of the Madrid-Ibizan painter Carle Naide. Carle Naide himself titles his work “Let’s leave this as it was”, thus referring to the drawing by Francisco de Goya belonging to notebook C — a notebook where Goya expresses his most human concerns — from which Carle takes a monk that he places in the center of the composition designed for Alcalá Norte and that the Museo Del Prado took out of its archives yesterday Tuesday so that the band’s singer, Alvaro Rivashad the opportunity to see in person.

Alcalá Norte also opens the pre-sale of the colored edition of the album “Barad-Dûr splatter” of which 1,001 copies will be available and is already on pre-sale from the website of Balaunka. This first and only edition will come in gatefold format, insert size 60×60 with the digitized cover of “Let’s leave it as it was.”. Among all of them there will be one and only one unit destined to dominate them all. The unique vinyl, which will be golden in color and with a marble effect. Alcalá Norte uses the imagery of Tolkien to characterize the first material of this new album. This is what the inscription that accompanies the aforementioned edition says:158 for the elves who live in the Calero, 368 for the dwarves who live in the Arriaga, 474 for the men condemned to the Hives and 1 for the Dark Lord on the Monolith in the land of Ciudali where the shadows extend.

On the cover of Alcalá Norte you can see three monks confronting the band’s ideologist and urban planner responsible for their neighborhood, Ciudad Lineal: Arturo Soria. This climbs the famous monolith from which Alcalá Norte takes its logo. In the background, the mountains of Mordor. “In the face of the threat, the transformation. Climb towards the light, change the shape of the city to change the way of living. The image, bright and dark like Spanish life, traces its yellow brushstrokes on an absolutely dark background. With its eyes set high, but unable to escape the dark flashes. In a land where even the white cloths of Zurbarán breathe shadow, Arturo Soria clings to his ideals.”
