Artwork on blessed are the sick

Post by Cybermetatron »

Does someone know what are these engravings representing different scenes of damnation used on the album booklet and the back of the tour shirts for blessed are the sick ?

I know that the ones used for covenant are from the compendium maleficarum, but nothing about those used on blessed are the sick...



thanks

The demons' names (given below) are taken from the Ars Goetia, which differs in terms of number and ranking from the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum

Pseudomonarchia Daemonum

Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, or Hierarchy of Demons first appears as an Appendix to Johann Weyer's De praestigiis daemonum . The title of the book translates roughly to "false monarchy of demons"....

thanks for your answer ! Actually I had found stuff about Buer, this demon with 5 legs ! And I've finally found the reference of a book collecting the woodcuts used on the blessed cover and shirts Devils, Demons and Witchcraft by Ernst & Johanna Lehner.
