Creepy and Freaky Album Covers

[VeloClone]

The full photo of this won a Pulitzer in 1964. And for a band with such strongly political messages, it fits super well

Yeah, still really unsettling as it was the image of a guy actually killing himself rather than something staged or created to look like it.

Load - Metallica

Also known as the blood and semen album.

The original cover for Blind Faith and Nirvana Nevermind are the only two I've ever seen that felt not okay (nudity of young people and in both cases it doesn't seem like the subjects knew what they were getting into/got compensated much at all). Everything else has always felt like some form of acceptable art (gore, shock value, adult nudity).

I used to love Dying Fetus until.....

I went to a party one night and the main guy from Dying Fetus was there. Apparently he flew from Maryland to New Mexico to hang out with a female friend of mine. I met him and he was cool and all. He spent a good portion of the night in the garage jamming on guitar along with my friend Phill, who is probably the best guitarist I have ever known.

Anyways, this dude and Phill started a side band and Phill would email him guitar tracks that he would write and record. I heard that they had almost enough material for an entire album. And then after a couple years, the guy asked Phill if he could use the riffs for a new Dying Fetus album.

I don't know all the details but what I do know is that Phill wrote a majority of the riffs that would appear on the Wrong One to F*ck With album, which many consider to be their best album, and he did not receive any money and did not get his name anywhere on the album. Again, I don't know all the details or what was in the contract, so I'm not sure if the band screwed him over or if it was the record company.

Sorry for getting off topic.

Oh man, that sucks. WOTFW is one of my favorite albums. That definitely changes my perception of them.

Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy

This one is always under the radar creepy. Have to know the themes of the album though to get the full creep out of it.

I really dig their older stuff the most, but the riffs on WOTFW are insane! Probably their most brutal album.

Another of my submissions. Seems that illustrations creep me out the most lol.

I absolutely love this album, but the cover is pretty creepy.

I mean, it’s no Smell the Glove, but it’s still pretty good!

There was a lawsuit from the Nevermind kid. I think somewhat recently.
