Winter is the fourteenth studio album of the British Independent - band New Model Army . It was released on August 26, 2016.
Cover
The cover of the album is drawn and kept in shades of brown. A crow-like bird is drawn on the front, which is somewhat blurred by splashes of water. On the back are trees that are supposed to represent a dark forest. Generally it is a dark cover, which underlines the melancholy of the album.
Alex Harrap is responsible for the design. He also designed the band's previous album, Between Wine and Blood (2014), and the accompanying live album (2015).
Charts
The album reached number 20 in Germany.

Reviews
Deutschlandfunk rated the album as combative with angry songs against the politics of the powerful.
laut.de writes: "An anger of biblical proportions in every single note."
Videos
Two videos were shot for the album and published on YouTube:
- Winter : In keeping with the title and lyrics ("Bring me the snowfall, bring me the cold wind, bring me the winter!"), Singer Justin Sullivan can be seen in a snowy winter landscape.
- Devil : The video doesn't show the band. Only excerpts from the black and white silent film Faust - a German folk tale by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau from 1926 can be seen here.
Trivia
The CD is only available in a mediabook version in Germany. Here is a 14-page booklet that contains the complete lyrics to the song.
