Slayer World Painted Blood Cover Art Revealed

Calling all Slayer Suckas.

Press release from Slayer:

Die-hard Slayer fans, get ready.

World Painted Blood will initially ship with four special collector's edition CD covers. Each of the four covers will display one-fourth of a continental map illustrated with human skulls and bones; when placed together, the four images form a complete and grisly map of the world.

All four of the initial CD packages will include a special blood-red, see-through top panel with the map displayed beneath it.

The World Painted Blood Deluxe Edition will have its own special layout of the map cover art and will be in a double-digipak housed in a blood-red, see-through plastic sleeve. The Deluxe Edition will include the World Painted Blood CD, the "Playing With Dolls" DVD, a 20-minute animated graphic novel featuring music from the album (including part of a new non-album song), and an expanded booklet.

Ok, so I know I'm not going to buy 4 versions of the same album to piece together a hokey map of the world, but based on the comments on Slayer.net a lot of people are. Not a bad way to increase album sales when you have an almost fanatical following.
