this has to do with Pied Piper right? saw a backpatch of this earlier today too and was wondering the same thing..
( i don't listen to this band, maybe it might be more clear if i did)

Yeah I'd assume so.

I just googled it and it brought up on Wikipedia - "Pied Piper of Hamelin in popular culture"
"The song "Blessed Are the Sick" by death metal band Morbid Angel contains a flute solo as an outro entitled Leading the Rats."

And apparently the story can also be interpreted about plague so that goes right in with Blessed Are the Sick

i heard about Pied Piper a long time ago. remebered it being about a guy leading rats by playing a flute. and the image on here is a skeleton playing a bone as if its a flute.
i also heard it being linked to the plague back then.

Yes you are right . But I think this picture is just a part f a bigger artwork that is not design exclusively for Morbid angel .
