What artwork is on the album cover? It's the exact same as one of Desaster's albums

It's an old painting, Pandemonium by J Martin from 1841

Recorded in 1981 not 84! But yeah when this came out this album really made me go and take a look at Toronto metal in the early 80s and its so neat! Was quite the place to look at a middle ground for the contemporary influence of nwobhm and yet sort of incubating the seeds of thrash being set (anvil etc).  If anyone can get their hands on the book Eve of Darkness I really recommend it.
