Agreed. The idea with blanking out the eyes of a person to remove that level of intimacy or to induce a form of anonymity is quite common with many alternative bands.

I was exploring something entirely different. Contrary to my previous statement, which may have been taken as a serious comment by some, it has nothing to do with the soul.

The cover was an exploration of martyrdom and sacrifice. The original photograph is of two horses on a carousel, taken at the base of Montmatre, synonymous with the concept of martyr. One horse looks disheveled and violent, the other looks focused and with purpose. The more restless of the two was omitted from the cover. If the restful horse is, in fact, dead - as a sign of respect, I have covered his eyes. He may not be a martyr but he will likely outlive all of his owners and all riders of the carousel.

Because that is people's first impressions. I wouldn't buy an action film called 'Big Explosions & Guns' that had a big explosion on the front and a gun. With pictures of Arnie on the back and various references to other action movies. It feels cheap, to me.

In a way that, if I made rock music, I would avoid calling my first EP The Rolling Stones.

I play shows, people ask me to play more shows.
I make music I want to and keep my integrity.
I could start making music that would appeal to more, but I don't want to.
I make the music I hear in my head.
As Ricky Gervais said, "If I wanted to become famous, I'd kill someone."

It needs to be there to blank out the horses eyes.
Horses can steal your soul if they look directly at you, then they ride back into the sea.

oh, i wasn't claiming plagiarism! quite the opposite. like calling your album atebit or something - it has probably be done. it can really take away from a release of the titles seem a bit throw away - same with the cover art. your music may be awesome but the image being portrayed by the cover art is less than what one would hope for in a release.

This is brilliant. Making a crossover of galleryNES and this would also be great - it'd make it much easier for NES based artists to release their tracks on carts and as nifty roms.

Again, kudos for bring this to the people.
