What does Deliverance's album art represent?

[Father_Chaos]

And what's that thing on the bed?

 

[Guttmann]

the right question is whats that thing in the mirror...

on the bed its a puppet or something i think...

 

[foodforthegods]

the thing on the bed looks like a doll???? The mirror thing is a good question. It looks like a human shape or something.

 

[Godhead59]

That's obviously a human face in the mirror.

 

[-^Elrohir^-]

yup, a doll in the bed and an human shape in the mirror

 

[FUBAR]

That's obviously a human face in the mirror.

Looks like Mike to me.

While it's nice to philosophize about intrinsic meanings in music and art, my guess is that the majority of Travis Smith's work is just created with the intent to create a specific mood to match the feel of the album.

In other words, save it for the Tool forum.

 

[Father_Chaos]

Yeah, well I just wanted to know because I think I'll buy the Deliverance Opeth shirt ^_^

 

[Led Opeth]

still life shirt ftw

 

[Guttmann]

^didnt understand you.. are you asking about still life's shirt?
thats just a woman lamenting over a grave i think

 

[Father_Chaos]

^didnt understand you.. are you asking about still life's shirt?

No he wasn't, he just meant that the Still Life shirt was hawt .

I think the face in the mirror is the smae face of the doll, but it is hard to tell.

 

[Razorhog]

Don't know what it is in the mirror, but to me, it is creepy.

It almost seems to me that the covers of Deliverance and Damnation depict the same room but from different angles and with different lighting. Out of all of Opeth's albums, I think these two have my favorite cover art. Very cool, especially the old woman's hand in Damnation.

 

[Travis]

Deliverance's album art represents an opposite to Damnation's album art.

I can't understand why these two albums were poorly received... I think they're great! Someday they should be re-released as a double album the way Mikael had intended in the first place

 

[FUBAR]

I wouldn't say they were poorly recieved at all.

 

[KjeXXXer]

Pretty cool, I'm not into photographs all that much, but I like the surface and the general expression of the b/w.

Poorly received??? Damnation took some crap for being "different", but I wouldn't say either album was poorly received.
