Morbid Angel goes Indian?

These images from the official site seem to be very much influenced by Indian culture.



Am I the only one who sees the link with this and Trey's devotion to Deepak Chopra?



Is this all some sort of pre-taste of the new album that is coming up?

[quote name="Trypticon"]i think he's also influenced by egyptian-arabian culture. just look at his ibanez 7 string guitar with that blue mirror pickguard and that pyramid under the pickguard.

just keep exploring :xx:[/quote]

That guitar has been designed by Steve Vai and he was the one who put that pyramid there. Sorry to break your world down.

the new imagery has been discussed to death here (fwiw pretty much nobody cares for it, although i would take the conservative approach and say the issue is with the execution more than the style itself [the execution is fucking horrid and gaudy and just, bad, 8-ways-from-sunday shitty]). i don't really know that it's indicative of a new direction or influence or anything, may just simply be that the hard-on bearer doing their graphics is into that aesthetic.

Or it could be that he didn't want the original neck on there. It's a ton easier to change out a neck than to change out bodies; plus different bodies have different sound qualities.







Or it could be that the pyramid just looks cool. Which it does. :xx:

That is how I feel - the execution sucks but the themes are good.
