Covenant question

Post by Those Insane Gods »

I just bought the US CD pressing of Covenant on Giant records and noticed that there was something different about the cover. So I took my Euro CD to compared and noticed that the occult symbols on the US version had been removed from the book on the far left. Has anyone else noticed this?

Me: I recently bought the US pressing of the Covenant CD. The cover as you know pictures the book of ceremonial magic among other things. I noticed that the sigils are missing from the page on the American pressing. Was this intended?



David Vincent: long silence) Not many people pick up on that. Good eye.



Me: I decided to do some research and a hard-on bearer who owned the book informed me that the sigils on the Euro version aren't on that page of the book. That's it's a montage...



David Vicent: Yeah. You're correct... But the reason for that is for you to find out. But you are correct. I'm going to leave that as a mystery.

If you're curious, those sigils are from the black pullet. Specifically how to makes rings for various purposes, if I remember correctly.

I know where the sigils were from. Thats not what i ment. I kinda got the feeling that there was more to David reaction. Because of his Maybe/maybe not post.

But thanks :santa:

I think it would be the other way around then, I have the Earache version and it has the sigils.

Cheesy? It's a backcover from a mag which got some damage thoughout the years. But why do you say it 'd be cheesy? :frown:



[quote name="H4T3M4CH1N3"]To me it looks like "promo poster" instead of "another variation" lol[/quote]



Yes of course it's a promo poster, which contains a different variation on the artwork. You do see the differences in the artwork, don't you?
