Title:

Christ Illusion [Special Edition]

Description:

Depicting a mutilated Christ painted by longtime collaborator Larry Carroll, the album’s graphic artwork courted controversy; an alternative cover was issued to conservative retailers who felt uncomfortable with the original, and the band also put out a censored cover without the offensive artwork. Lyrics, particularly in the song ”Jihad”, describe the September 11 attacks from the perspective of a terrorist. Following protests, all Indian stocks of the album were recalled and destroyed by EMI India.

Christ Illusion received generally favorable critical reviews, and entered the US Billboard 200 at number 5, making it the band’s second highest U.S. chart position as of 2015. The album includes the Grammy Award-winning songs ”Eyes of the Insane” and ”Final Six”.
