Well, they're far from the only ones having done that. For example, the cover for Dimmu Borgir's ‘For all tid’ is an engraving by Gustave Doré, slightly tweaked, and in later re-releases also colorized.
But presumably KEN Mode paid for the usage, considering they credit the artist in the release notes.
I didn't know that, and they're one of my favorite bands. Cool.
Anyway, at least they made it a little bit different.
Eh, why alter that which is perfect.
