What's with that masked baby??

[Hammer of Might]

Does anyone have any idea why the Dance of Death promotions so far seem to include that weird computer animated baby wearing a mask??

It appeared sitting on a wolf on ironmaiden.com, and also on the back of their tour bus, as well as other places!

I hope that doesn't have anything to do with the cover artwork, but things are looking that way!

I hate it!

I was wondering that - it makes absolutely no sense at all to me.

Unless we're missing some really obvious in-joke or something... I dunno.

I can't see it being the album cover - nobody else seems to get it either, and the tour posters have Eddie as the reaper with some stupid CG woman.

It's a shame they had to use the wolf/baby thing for the limited edition t-shirts - no way am I going to buy and wear one of those, no matter how big a fan I am

Me either - it's just not Maiden!

I really hope it is just a joke! I want a classic painted cover!

It looks like Eddie is going to be that computer-created metallic blue thing.

Still looks pretty cool though - better than the masked baby!

I'd better be a joke of some sort.
Otherwise fans worldwide will gather and kick big boss man's ass.
