The symbols on the cover of the album were taken from the alphabet of a
secret tribunal group from Medieval Germany called the Vehmgericht. They spell
out the word "Danzig." In an interview on Twec.Com on 01/27/2000, Glenn
referred to them as "Zehmic runes." The entire alphabet is illustrated in Nigel
Pennick's "Magical Alphabets" book, published by Samuel Wesier, Inc in 1992.
The following information on the album title was supplied by American
Recordings in 1994:
"The Four P movement is an alleged Satanic cult operating
throughout the United States. An offshoot of the notorious Process Church of
the Final Judgment, the Four P movement takes its name from the Process'
original sigil: a swastika like form composed of four interlocking Ps. The Four
P movement was supposedly begun in 1967, and has been connected to a number of
ritual killings across the country, including the Son of Sam killings in New
York and the Manson Family in California."
