HEVYDEVY FORUMS

Ok, so I'v been an SYL fan for just over a year now, and ever since I was introduced to them, they have been my favourite band; and Dev inspired me to start playing

Anyway, I own Alien, The Chaos Years, The 2,500 copy Tour EP and I just bought The New Black yesterday. I love it. Sure, the intensidy does not live up to SYL standards, and not a singe song on it is as good as Detox( ), but I think overall its musically brilliant.

Now onto the topic:

What on earth is the shape on the front (and back) cover(s)? At first glance, it looks like a country, and then inside the booklet it looks like a crotch (sort of, hah).
Can anyone explane what it really is?

Many thanks =)


PS: I also own Synchestra (Special Ed.), Christeen + 4 Demos, Accelerated Evolution (Special Ed.) and Ziltoid (Special Ed.) - and Im stoked for Ki!

I always thought it was like a Rorschach blot, in that you could supplant whatever you wanted to represent what you saw on the cover. It looked to me, initially, like someone's hip bone breaking up. Then, it looked like a false-colour satellite shot of some ice breaking away. I suppose it is whatever you mind sees.

Very true. It does seem as-if it was designed that way. Afterall its been used upside down, reversed and doubled throughout the cd booklet and on other versions (Japanese editions etc)

in an interview, jed says it is a bug and he hates bugs.
cant remember where the interview is though.

imho the new black is one of the best albums and it definately has guite a few gems.

RE: Rorschach blot,
I see...BLOOD!

I see a huge, misshapen butterfly. But that's what I see in all Rorschach blots

I always saw a guy wearing a hat reaching up to take off his glasses.

I've always seen a cliff edge falling apart and disintegrating.
