Question:

Metalheads, music, art and literature lovers, where is this pic originally from and who did it?

obituary's second album 'cause of death' has that cool pic of a body kinda tied/webbed to a tree, which has a pile of skulls at the foot of it, bloody, horny white spikes sticking out of the ground- all against a backdrop of a huge red reptile/amphibian eye and a sliver crescent of moon hanging in a jet-black sky? here's a link...
