Hello Andrew,
I don't know about the "Legend" part but what I do know is that Alice, Shep, Bob Ezrin and Burton Cummings have been so kind as to allow me the opportunity, along with them to "continue making history, instead of becoming it!!"

"Hello AliceFan"

The album release will be soon and I'm suppose to be doing an interview with the "Fanpack" people at some point as they have reached out but we are busy finishing up all the global pieces. At some point I will have a ton of "content and assets" for Si to post here only... for all my fellow "SICKTHINGS" to enjoy! - Ernie

Hello Ernie, the cover of W2MN looks fantastic! It looks just like the original Nightmare, but it's bloodier, scarier and newer! Thanks for your amazing job, Ernie!

Totally agree.

I love how the new cover give a new breathe to the original. It's very fun to look at the two in the same time. Great work, thanks for that.

I didn't tell you how I love the Old School package to. It's an incredible work that you've done and the Box is a true jewel.

What a great cover, looks like the original album has matured and rusted over the years. Love it.

I agree. I was expecting a more comic look like the first one, but its better like this cause its like alice is actually bringing you into this bloodier, newer nightmare. It's also an updated look that goes well with the older and newer generations. Great job Ernie, can't wait to see the completed package design in September! :alice:

Hi Ernie,

This one is imo a more bloody trash Alice nightmare.

Well done Ernie. :clap: The new album cover is everything i hoped it would be. A great modern homage to a classic cover. This is being set as my desktop background and im sure it will cheer me up everytime i switch on the computer. Cant wait to see the back cover and booklet.

"Hello Horrorholic"
If you liked the cover just wait till you see all the rest of the pieces, they really complete the concept and track the music perfectly. When the time is right with the powers that be, I will be posting a lot of "Back Story images for your viewing pleasure. - Ernie

"Hello Awakening"

I am so happy that you enjoyed the cover and that you are comparing both side by side because that's exactly how we created it. As you will see when you get the package you will really see a large array of very cool images, text and artwork. - Ernie

P.S. Your English is great, no apologies needed.

Good call just wait till you see the complete package because the cover is just the beginning, as the entire package (Music and Art) is a great experience. - Ernie
