Is the Brainstorm album cover in reference to Assassins Creed?
Not really, not really.
Have you heard people mention that?
I like the game but theres ton of killers and whatever running around and 11th, 12th to 13th, 14th century, you know. They all look like that. We searched for a fighter and we had this idea two years ago and right after the release of Liquid Monster we thought about having somebody undercover like a fighter. So we thought about someone who looks like from Persia or from India but its also a mixture with something new you know, with all the tattoos and stuff and the metal mask and so on. The thing was just to have somebody on the cover who fights for his right, you know, like we do. We sometimes have also fight for our right and sometimes we have a lot of luck but on the other hand we sometimes have to really go through tough times. What we wanted to have on the cover is somebody who fights for it and this is what we have to do all day long. That was, I think at least one and a half years before Ive seen the first picture of Assassins Creed. We had the cover I think around the end of 2006, something like that. Theres so many covers, so many killers and pictures and so on with those guys running around.
But thats ok. Thats fine with us. Maybe we can do the soundtrack for Assassins Creed part II or whatever.
Why not, eh?
You think it looks like that?
Well, at least one other person caught the similarity to the video game art...thats all.
I dont know. Ive been told that theres a comic series out like Batman, Superman. A kind of a superhero and he also wears something like this white coat. I was like who? Ok.. Then I searched for that in the internet but a friend of mine just told me, well cmon guy there are just hundreds of covers of video games and records and pictures and whatever. They all look like the same. Its just funny. I personally think its one of the best covers of art in our career. To me it shows a lot of strength and power and thats cool.
