Metalheads and WoW Fans, Arise

The CurseForge graphics for World of Warcraft were updated more quickly this time around than in the War Within expansion:

Screencap from CurseForge as of Feb 2, 2026.


As I took in the graphic, I noticed something. Apparently someone at Blizzard is a fan of the metal band Disturbed, because there's some similarities between this graphic of a void monster and Disturbed's mascot, The Guy:

From Pinterest. Not sure if this is
an official graphic or not.

You know, just add some blue or purple in there, remove the muscular hand and arms, and...

Yes, yes, I realize that there's also similarities between those two and Venom:

It's mainly in the teeth and the darkness, but I'm sticking with The Guy first because that's what popped into my head before Venom did. (Sorry, Marvel.)

Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go listen to Disturb's cover of Genesis' Land of Confusion, featuring The Guy...
