Can't guarantee the answers part of the title of this thread, because all I have is a question, but feel free to add:

Does anyone know what the picture on the cover of Mercyful Fates' "Melissa" is supposed to be?

Yes it's a skull. http://www.shinforce.com/cool/wallpaper/mercyfulfate/MF-Melissa-1024.htm

Fair enough - but I still don't see it.
It always looked like some form of bone sort of penetrating something from left to right.

How can you not see that? Click the link... see the eyes, the nasal cavity, the mouth, the devil horns...

Note: The original Roadrunner remaster TOTALLY fucked up the cover, but it was restored with the 25th anniversary edition and was enough for me to rebuy it.

^ That one is way better, and you can make out what its supposed to be better as well

 

[byrne]

Nup. NFI. Someone will have to photoshop it or something. Maybe its because I have looked at it too much and can't change my perspective, but I see NOTHING.

*edit* Thanks Nick. You can't seriously tell me you can make it out from the black and red picutre without having seen the other clear one.

 

[Dän]

The 'bones' that your seeing is fire comin out of the devils eyes nose and mouth, look at the right of the pic for a while, maybe it shall come to you one day my child

As soon as I saw the jagged teeth in the dark one, the rest fell into place.
