"Infestissumam", the sophomore album from the mysterious Swedish buzz band Ghost, can be streamed in its entirety at Pitchfork.com. The Cd will be released on April 16 via Loma Vista Recordings, the new record label founded by Tom Whalley in partnership with Republic Records, a division of Universal Music Group.

According to Spin.com, the release date of "Infestissumam" was pushed back a week after four compact disc manufacturers allegedly refused to print a piece of artwork that was meant for the deluxe version of the new Cd. The manufacturers all took issue with the sacrilegious imagery, inspired by the work of Gustave Dore, which showcases what looks like a forest nymph orgy.

"We kept on getting turned down because of the Cd art, which is basically a 16th century illustration of an orgy," a source close to the band told Spin.com. "[The bandmembers] weren't surprised. The comment was 'Well, I thought this would have happened sooner.' The artwork was meant to provoke some sort of thought, but it's been one obstacle after another."

The controversial art can still be found on both the vinyl and European copies of the "Infestissuman" Cd. "Vinyl manufacturers don't have a problem with the artwork. Neither does Europe," the source told Spin.com.
