Album Art?

[dudu]

I just saw this on a website. Not sure if it is genuine however..

 

[snowmankiller]

I hope it is! It looks sweet... I can't wait to see the rest!!

 

[dudu]

I thought it was really good too

 

[Aletheus]

Oooohhh... wicked, notice the nail marks on the door, and the writings above it... Got a few ideas about it, but try to think for yourself :]

 

[dudu]

I think the bottom says "Enter the Hall of Truth"

I love it! The person kinda reminds me of the Rush starman...

It's really rockin' - real or not!

Okay, a child's guess goes:
It seems to me that the person, lets call him Bob, seems to be a devoted atheist, meaning he denied God's existence and love for most of his life. And Bob seems to be trapped in the "Hallway of Truth", meaning he was exposed to the Truth in a way. So he found God, he found peace, love and happiness, yet as Bob was such a strong believer in disbelief, he refused it at first, hence the scratch marks on the door, he tried to deny it once again, but he couldn't, God spoke to him, and finally when the door was opened and once Bob had a chance to "escape" if you may, he felt no need to, he went towards the light, which is still a little too strong for his eyes, and thats why we see Bob covering his face with his arm. Oh and yeah, "The Hallway" is some sort of metaphor for life, I may presume thanks to the thorns around the door, sorta "Per aspera ad astra" -esque, representing life as the lovely b*tch it is.

If this seems kinda naive or foolish, I apologize , but I can't help it!

Nice find! Did you get it from this website? (I did a quick google search) I can't figure out what those words say either, something like "all who ... enter in the hall of truth". That is a sweet cover if you ask me, I love the concept.

If that's not official its certainly one dedicated fan....

I did, but it appears that website is no longer working. Weird

Well, I would wait until Matt says something. Maybe it's another April fools prank or something.

 

[dudu]

Yea, it would be good if he confirmed it. This is quoted from the website though

Whew! This took a while. I had contacted Matt Smith after reading an article in Heaven’s Metal about doing the art for the upcoming CD.

 

[Kenneth R.]

That's a great cover.

 

[Matt Smith]

Yeah, that's it...glad you guys dig it. I think it came out fantastic. Thanks Robert!

 

[prometheus7]

Well, I didn't want to say anything till Matt did, but yes that is the "official" cover. I should know, I worked on it with Matt. . I appreciate all the kind comments. Believe me when I say it was a labor of love. But what is better, is what is INSIDE that CD. You all will not be disappointed!

Great cover!!

Now, i cannot wait to get it along with the disc it comes with !!

Awesome! ..not long now hopefully !!

 

[dudu]

Thanks for the confirmation on it guys. It really does look great

 

[knight777]

I'm actually really disappointed that this is official. I guess it means Matt rejected my cover that I worked really, really hard on.

I guess prometheus7's cover is ok...

 

[Aletheus]

Simply ingenious ^^
