Yeah, I actually prefer the For The Sake of Revenge cover to this one - simple but memorable. To be honest though, Silence's cover is far worse than Reckoning Night :lol:

Not that cover, the actual cover that you see when you take the album out of the slipcase. It was decided that it would be too offensive to use the inner cover
