It could be my feeling about the whole ordeal about “Dance of Death”. Its only redeeming quality are the title track and Paschendale. Iron Maiden are giants, they should have done better than this.<br /><br />I'm not sure it you differentiated between Photoshop and CGI covers. I mean, just Google for Epica albums. Photoshop or not, they are all terrible. In fact, the whole Goth metal genre is terrible from start to end. Their covers, their promo videos, their performances. Youtube is full of comedy gold on that scenes behalf. Please tear them up for us all to laugh at.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645554669355760340.post-57522751996422093542012-08-06T19:17:26.501-07:002012-08-06T19:17:26.501-07:00That Iron Maiden one is one massive 'what coul...That Iron Maiden one is one massive 'what could've been' because it's a Dave Pratchett and if he was allowed to finish it it probably would have been as good as any of the stuff he does for Cathedral. No wonder he didn't want his name on it. But I feel that this version is more representative of the album which can be taken as you will.<br /><br />But it pales in comparison to the "masterpieces" that Derek Riggs was responsible for when he gets his hands on a 3D graphics program.
