    Emperor had cool artwork until they started putting their faces over Gustave Dore paintings in the late 90s. That’s when they went full retard and started their “wearing sunglasses indoors during interviews” phase (Trym looked like a wigger). I don’t know if art from Dante’s Inferno or Paradise Lost is public domain/free license (or whatever you call it), but it shouldn’t be if Nordic home boyz can throw their dumb faces over it to look “kewl” to sell shitty albums. I mean, this world has allowed Ulver to play Front 242 with additional brain damage over William Blake before. Now that Watain and Behemoth are at their biggest and most pretentious… IX Equilibrium was only preparing us for the worst, I’m afraid.

    Yes, a truly iconic black metal album cover. Did you know that as with the Doré painting making an appearence on ITNE, you can also see the figure of the first Burzum album hidden in the ‘Det som engang var’ cover ?

      True that. A sense of consistency seems important to these bands.
