This is the album cover for Iron Maiden's 2006 album "A Matter of Life and Death", the bands name is at the top of the album cover, it sits behind the main image. The main image is interesting to look at and a lot is going on, it would appeal more to a male target audience dude to the violence taking place. The name of the band is in thier own unique font, which is different to that of the album title, which sits at the bottom of the page, in the foreground in front of the picture, utilizing a industrial looking font. This ties in well with the scene which is a military one, this theme ties in with the title of the album. The way in which the Band's logo is positioned behind the scene and the album title at the foreground, could represent how the band is "unleashing" this album to the music world. The unconventional scene also contains undead soldiers, which, for the band is conventional, but for the rest of music, not so. This is Iron Maiden's telltale theme of the undead, which was many of the genre's that Heavy Metal bands used to express their music in video and art. The world also seems to be burning around them, showing effects of war, and the skeleton's represent death.
