Todd Michael Hall – Reverence (vocalist):
“I would have to say that the Iron Maiden Powerslave album cover is my favorite. Iron Maiden has a string of really cool album covers. Everyone wanted to have them as a shirt, poster, or back patch. They made you want to buy the album too. While I think that many of Iron Maiden’s album covers are cool, I thinkPowerslave is the best, because of all the intricate detail of hieroglyphics, etc. and how there was so much more to the “art” than just Eddie. Eddie was transformed to meet the concept of the album, which is one of the fun parts of seeing each new Iron Maiden album cover.”
Bryan Holland – Reverence (guitarist):
“I always loved Savatage’s Gutter Ballet cover art. At the time this artwork was different than what a lot of metal bands were putting out and totally different than anything the band had put our previously, including lots of intricate details from gargoyles and ghosts to the skeletal candelabra. I especially loved how it was dark and haunting with a distinct feeling of opulence and grandeur, yet had a classical feel to it which fit with the music perfectly.”
