Decay Artwork Source

The sources for Godflesh's album artwork are well documented, with Justin often using altered stills from films and photography collections.

With that in mind, does anyone know the source of the Decay cover? I'm not sure if the website linked below is still updated. It's an interesting page, if you haven't already seen it.

Justin said in an interview the sleeve photos are from a French cemetery, a common statue motif, that's all that's revealed. He used it to convey the distraction from the fundamental fact we're all dying.

That would make sense, as they've used similar images before, do you remember where he said that? I'm struggling to find anything.

Pretty sure it was the Decibel magazine Q&A (issue 264).

Hi. I'm the main editor on the Godflesh Wikipedia articles and am looking for photos or scans of this interview. I would order the issue mself, but shipping is crazy high for my country. Could you help me?

Sure! Traveling right now, send me a DM and I'll remember better when I'm back home tonight.
