MACHINE HEAD: Cover von "The Blackening" online
Kommentieren
Das Cover der neuen MACHINE HEAD-Scheibe "The Blackening" kann rechts begutachtet werden. Für das Artwork zeichnet Paul Brown (u. a. MARILYN MANSON) verantwortlich.
Das Bild stammt aus dem 15. Jahrhundert und ist eine Metallplakette. Dazu MACHINE HEAD-Mainman Robb Flynn:
"It's a metal carving from the 1500s. Back then they used a lot of crude metal carving images… almost as propaganda. It was kind of like scaring people about going to hell or whatever. A lot of it had to do with devils and death and stuff like that. They were eventually banned for a while.
The cover right now is like a skeleton sitting on a throne with his foot on top of the world and he's holding up a mirror and the mirror says "The mirror which flatters not."
The reason we chose that image is that this whole record is like holding up a mirror to ourselves. It's talking about things that are going on now, but it's not necessarily specific to this time.
There are two songs that have a pretty strong anti-war sentiment, but it's not the type of thing that's just about this war, you know what I mean? It's not necessarily a concept record in that sense, because the songs don't all tie together thematically. There isn't a story being told. I probably would have lost my mind if I would have had to tie all the lyrics together (laughs). It is about holding up a mirror to society."
