The colour scheme of the Digipak contrasts with the themes of the album. For example, on the front of the album you have the grotesque picture which is quite off putting for the consumer but then the background to the album is white which is a colour normally associated to goodness, purity and innocence.
The physical appearance of the person on the front cover is quite disgusting to look at, which links into the taboo subjects discussed on the album. The facial expressions pulled also look very sad and glum which puts across the message the person doesn't want to be there. This could be the band saying we don't want to talk about these issues but we feel that they must be addressed somehow.
The title of the album is The Holy Bible which when it came out would've caused controversy among the christian community with first the album name itself, but also the themes explored in the album. This signifies that the band are not afraid to cause controversy and do this in many ways, but mainly through their use of the album cover.
