Having "Paradise Lost" in smaller text really helps draw focus into the picture. And having the angel in a lighter colour brings her out more. Its really well done imo.
On the old cover, the angel had a shitty looking Lesbian Crew Cut and looked really really horribly photoshoop'd, and the eyes of the masks were glowing
Out of topic, but i Keep trying to remember where that guy going around the house is from that's in Horus' messages. I've been thinking of that since three months ago or so.
Ahaha, Horus, I never noticed the masks, I but I remember making a statement once "All Symphony X albums have the masks on it, why doesn't this [new] one?"
