I don't necessarily know what's going on in it, or what it means for the band. But the image combines so many mythological and classical/pastoral elements. I find it to be very calming and fantastical. I also like how there is no defined floor beneath the figures (most likely gods). They appear to simply be standing on sky. I agree that it seems as though they're looking down on earth. It isn't necessarily that I know what's going on; the image just moves me in a certain way.

I don't remember seeing that album or album cover... in the 80's...  and to think that they started out as a Hardcore punk band in the early 80's... but i still liked their material as a rap group... especially their debut album..

Rest in Peace My Justheart
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Yeah, but often I ponder what the artist is trying to express. In this one I didnt see "looking down on" I saw looking out at. I was wishing a few people would have took a bite at that Demons and Wizards cover. I owned that for decades before it dawned on me what I was looking at. |

Well, what do you think it is you're looking at? Because I don't really know what to make of that cover.

I assume you mean D&W ?
First of all it could be seen as a very perverted painting. With the waterfall you are looking at the genitals of a man and woman. So it could simply be a slight of hand by the artist to show the Wizard saying "come on everyone and screw". But then there is the tree which is the area of pubic... so I interpret it as being the tree of life from which "the waters" flow. Much of the topic within the record is regarding peace and love, sure it was the tail end of the peace and love hippy thing but this album used the Wizard as they were fabled to help good conquer evil. So I dig deeper and feel that the flowing water comes from the tree, the pinnacle of the painting and represents life and the tree of life and the function from which the seeds of life comes. Took me over 25 years to see that and for what ever reason that was always one of my favorites, so I starred at it plenty when in my teens. It was even painted on a HUGE mural for me by one sweet classmate for our senior ball. When I realized what I was looking at I wondered if she had upon painting it.
It is almost masked by distraction from the eclips of the moon creating a near owl image so I think that is part of why it took so long to see it... but that aint no owl beak... lol
Now I will prolly get a warning for posting porn

Sorry bro I've heard it all. They annoy the piss out of me with "I'll stir fry you in my WOP, don't you even STOP, hit in the head with a POT".
Obviously not the lyrics but...
