Lets agree that labyrinths are pretty cool stuff. Who doesn't wanna try one out? Of course not if it's a death trap, but for fun I surely would. Today's topic is Necrodeath vs. Evil Madness. As pictured below you can see that the two album covers aren't much alike except for the fact that both portraits a labyrinth. What we have here must be some sort of homage, because it would be strange if the gus behind Evil Madness wasn't aware of Necrodeath's masterpiece from '89 while launching their debut in 2010.
While "Maze of Souls" makes me think of "Fragments of Insanity", the later makes me think of the labyrinth in Hellraiser: Bloodbound from '88
I guess what's similar with these three paintings is that the labyrinths seems endless. Other from that, not much. "Fragments..." has kind of the same angle as "Bloodbound" while "Maze.." is just straight in line. A third album cover that comes to mind is Blue Öyster Cult's debut from '72.
But by that comparison I think we're of track, since that cover art just seems to portrait and ill-planned storage space or an infinity of rooms and doors leading to who knows where...
BUT WAIT! If we put Blue Öyster Cult's album art and Necrodeath's together, we might have find the true origin to the inspiration to "Maze of Souls"? Nope....
