The artwork within the album, done by Swiss artist Joachim Luetke, displays what appears to be an industrial factory, inside of which the band members are living out their fantasies, some of which are similar to scenes seen in the music video for "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse". Most of the songs have a common apocalyptic theme.

Release history

Death Cult Armageddon saw initial release on CD, vinyl and DVD-Audio on 9 September 2003 under Nuclear Blast,[4] the DVD-Audio edition featuring all three bonus tracks, the "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse" music video and photo galleries,[5] which later featured on the Ozzfest edition bonus disc, and the Digipack editions featured the Bathory cover "Satan My Master".
