I really like it Kelly, even though I'm unfamiliar with the band. I know this is a question of preference, but I think you did yourself a disservice in coloring this one in photoshop (or whatever your tool of choice is). I think even as an editorial piece, it would look better in pastel, since I think I remember seeing you use some on a few pieces, so I know you are talented with the medium, and you could have gotten some terrific effects out of the backround characters. That said, I still like it and I find the composition very strong.
Oh, I'd say success, definitely. I like that this is a more literal translation of the music (from what you've said) than I've grown used to seeing, you get a certain sense of what the disc is about and the mood it has, which (I'm no editor, but) I'd assume is the point to a drawing like this.

(sorry for the really long comment)
That's cool, man. I haven't decided if this one is a success or a failure yet.
