Opeth Is Fab!

[the_3_toed_sloth]

Could someone please explain the rationale behind this?

Opeth...Metal Band...Album about disgust with humanity...Queer with his shirt open....to me, it isnt too hard to spot the odd one out!

Oh, and before someone asks, this is from the official Opeth site..yes thats right, they actually have that image up where people can see it

I think it's the standard music for nations cover for vinyls.

 

[Moonstruck]

I also think it's the standard cover, but at first I thought it was a falling drapery. You know. Drapery Falls. But I don't think Opeth would want that song to have an image that has something to do with homosexual men.

He looks like Patrick Swayze

thats strange...

 

[Hondo]

If they were going for a "weird 70's record" feel with that, they hit it square.

'Cause you know this has happened before,
And you know that this moment in time is for real,
And you know when you feel Deja vu.
Feel like I've been here before,
Feel like I've been here before.

It's just the generic MFN vinyl label. I had a couple of Metallica vinyl's that looked like that.

[Pessimism]

. . . Thought I could not leave this place
On this imminent day
As I've reached the final dawn
To what's gone astray
What would they care if I was gay
No-one would know oooooooh noooooo!
What would they care if I was gay
No-one should know oooooooh noooooo! . . .

He kinda reminds me of an 80s David Hasslehoff....they both show far more chest than needed.

Oh, and sorry bout doubling up on threads. I know how worked up y'all get over that..

Holy crap! that's looks really awful, but I think that doesn't have anything to do with the band's design... I think...or I hope so.
