Ya its like a modern pop combo of indigenous central american artwork and lovecraftian mythos. The exploding helicopter is cool. Reminds me of a story about my Dad. He owned a Hughes 500-C back in the mid-eighties--when he lived down in Honduras--and there was a native tribe down in the Mosquitia jungle ("the Mosquito Coast") that commissioned of its artisans a large piece of natural artwork they made--out of the various barks of trees--which depicted my Dad's helicopter amidst a primitive scenario. See, he used to fly that thing into the middle of the Mosquitia and extract chicle from trees--he used the helicopter to haul out loads of that in block form--raw chicle which he exported to bubble gum companies. The point being--helicopters have been a natural motif for indigenous tribes throughout the Americas for quite some time, now.
