Cover art for Damage Done

[Daybreaker]

Hey all, me and my friend are having a disagreement over the art for DD. I say its two hands crushing a heart he says its a head. What do you guys think or is there somewhere where we can find out for sure. Winner gets a three pack of sweet luscious Marlboros.


Thanks

I don't smoke. :|

It's actually a prone Mikael Stanne holding his head, as his brains spill out.

In my weird mind it's a picture of Mikael Stanne from behind, without much of a head.. but the hair is there..

edit: brains.. not hair. aha.

i can just tell it's a dude, kinda crouching, with an injured head.....

shit another texan!!!! midland......close to lubbock......went to lubbock last april.....it stank

Well, I read that the picture was Mikael trying to portrait how it feels when he sings, and the blood is real blood from Martin Brändström. The result beeing what Ormir says...

There was an older thread about this, where there was a picture with white outlines for Mikael's legs, arms, etc. Could someone dig that up? It had even more interesting views about the DD-art overall...

I've always believed its a pic of a person, and the photo looks like it's been taken from above.

 

[BigFakeSmile]

yea, that was what i thought -- from above, bleeding head, resemblence to mikael. shot? ouch! we win.

first i thought it was just an ink spot, you know, the ones psychologists show you and you have to guess what it is

but on second view i'm almost sure it's stanne getting a headshot.

vc (never been to a psychatrist maybe i should )

Were I read it

 

[Malaclypse]

so it's the keyboarder's menstruation dripping out of stanne's head?

 

[MP-AKK]

I was thinking about this a while a go, hm. There's an interview with Niklas on SwedishMetal.net where the artwork for the cd came up, hm...

With that as background I think I'll go and stare at it right now...

ormir is right, the official word is: photoshop work on a pic of stanne so that it looks like his head's exploding.

at first i thought it was a ribcage...

i'm still convinced that it's just red and white ink put randomly.
