Background
Rhythm guitarist Jon Schaffer, who was a big fan of Spawn, originally contacted the director of promotions for the book's creator, Todd McFarlane, about possibly writing music for the upcoming Spawn film adaptation and animated series. Schaffer eventually met McFarlane, and asked if he would do an album cover for Iced Earth, to which McFarlane agreed to. Later on, Schaffer decided to do a whole album based on Spawn, seeing how the character would be on the cover anyway. At first, McFarlane wasn't on board with the idea, but allowed the band to go along with it.
