That cover is bad but still not as laughable as that upcoming Septic Flesh "Mystic Places..." reissue. Maybe an unfair comparison though as that one may be the worst cover I've ever seen.

This is seriously the worst album cover I've ever seen, given what album we're talking about here. How ill-fitting and stupid looking. It's time to ban Photoshop from metal album covers.

I can not understand band members,label owners.I guess they are fans as we are, and does not realize how irritating is to change the cd covers the sound,and replace them for this shitty " over-photoshopeed" piece of shit!

Its an unfinnished version not intended for use. A new one is to be finnished now.

Perspectives is correct. For those not knowing it, the machine is HUGE for real.

I have to say I like the cover and think the original was very unfitting for the album of this style.

Hmmm, pretty messy artwork but in some way it fits well as what industrial black metal represent. Euronymous pic is pretty weird though haha, i truly hope this is not the final version.

Not really interested in this re-release cos i own orig cd and vinyl already, but this should include some unreleased live video material so thats cool. Deliver PLANET SATAN already!

Why in the fuck are people unable to keep the same artwork for a god-damned reissue? Let them use this awful piece of shit for Planet Satan or something. In any case, it'll be nice to have the album. I sure it's a two-disc digibook with a second disc of commentary(SARCASM).

If it's the bands choice, then so be it. You don't have to like it, but if the band want it over the original then that is the end of it.

I only have na issue if it's the label redesigning the art without the bands say.

Well, since its so many shitty comments here from people that dont know a shitt of what they talk about, i will as manager for the band clarify some shitt for all of u shitty people haha (ironic):

First of all from Mysticums point of view this record suffered in many ways back in the days. Bad art, bad recording, bad mastering, everything was bad. This album has also been away from the market for a long time. And now we want everything to be available again, like with Mayhem, Darkthrone, Emperor etc; they are always to be found in a store. So it should be like that with Mysticum as well.

I nailed a deal with Peaceville for 3 records. 2 old ones and Planet Satan, the new one. Then everything they ever recorded will be available from Peaceville for the future. Mysticum wanted it to be worthy for the fans to buy the new stuff, so instead of making something identical again they wanted something special for you. So remastered sound. Relax its not nice sound. Its just adjusted so u can hear some stuff more clear. It was very chaotic, and details were lost on the origina. New art for sure, as old one sucks. Bonus tracks, and bonus dvd with 2 live shows. All so it shall be something cool for u. For thos one who hates this, dont buy it. For the rest of us it will be something cool to own!

That cover looks considerably worse than the original, which at least had an atmosphere to it.
