Demented Priest

I thaught I'd like to point something out...
Ever notice below the picture of the priest in the center, theres that picture of his feet? (thats not what im pointing out) but the priest is high above all of those masks which are all the same, faceless, no expression. all originality and such is taken away by religion (?) and we are all SHEEP in the world under that religion with one guiding us.

People say Undertow was all the songs they couldn't get onto opiate, so undertow is like the second installment sort of... so i suppose thats my 2 cents for now.

such as has been evident up through Aenema, belife's blind the mind. Everyone is the same. Yet it also makes Catholosism look like something like the kkk. Everyone hiding behind masks as they rape children. hmm

Re: Demented Priest

prophets, not religion, will be the downfall of society. maynard has said this before, that his grudge has always been towards the ones who seek to exploit people (through religion), not the religion itself. i tend to agree with him. religion can do some great things for people without hope (even though I personally am Agnostic.)

Re: Demented Priest

Does anyone else think the preist looks like "Kane" from Poltergeist?

Re: Demented Priest

I just bought it today :D And i have been studying it and didnt open it up all the way and notice the feet like that. I just saw them by themselves and thought it was (unsurprisingl) random. I also thought that turning the front cover upside down, the part that is covered by "TOOL" looks like one of those empty hooded faces. *shrugs* more than likely imagining things...but the priest's elbows kinda make shoulders... Does anyone else see this or is it just me =p

Ok this is getting stupid now but i may as well say it. Looking at the cover just at a glance side-on from a short distance, (its upside down).. the hands look like narrow jackal heads..or something. Kinda like a squishied similarity of the image on Fear Factory's stuff. I would say unintentional, but hey thats what it looked like for a moment.

Re: Demented Priest

To Paladin:
Adam Jones said in an interview with JJJ (which you can find on T.D.N. under the "audio" section): "We have a song called Opiate, and it's about you know um, the corruption of Christian religion being forced down our fucking throats."
Maybe this is related to the picture.

Re: Demented Priest

It's all about who's controlling and who's being controlled. It seems like human nature the desire for men to rule over other men.
