^ cover of purgatory was favoritest metal tee for 8th grade me

thing'd prolly go for $200 on ebay now

that flight of icarus cover is awesome!

Purgatory is great!!!

killers is pretty much unbeatable, but i've always loved number of the beast. the hierarchy of chaos, etc.

great colors too, reminiscent of the british flag. plus cool how the singles flesh out the tale:
