No there's nothing unique in referencing LOTR, but what is unique, is that they are celebrating the demise of Sauron's armies and see the whole thing as a great travesty (its very specific) They are focusing on an army that should've swept all before it. I think there is little doubt in this, I suppose I could email Mumakil and ask them if this is correct or not
The cover you put up is great and leaves the whole thing open to interpretation. The photo is like some satanic high priest preparing to sacrifice a victim in some latin american location. The flower though is an oddity.
