Post your favorite album covers

[Amlux]

Not necessarily favorite albums, though I suppose a lot of them will be. Remember to put NSFW under a spoiler. But don't be afraid to post them. I love grindcore way too much not to allow them! This is such a rabbit hole that it's never going to be complete, so I'll just post some that immediately come to mind:


Blut aus Nord - Ultima Thulée (1995)


Kill the Thrill - Tellurique (2005)


Regis - Gymnastics (1996)


Picchio dal Pozzo - Picchio dal Pozzo (1976)


Wondeur Brass - Ravir (1985)


Dr. Dooom - First Come, First Served (1999)


ACxDC - He Had It Coming (2005)


Havohej - Dethrone the Son of God (1993)


Gargling - Depraved Ingestion of Cranial Discharge (2022)


Whorelord - Ass-Raped Again (2005)

Spoiler

Naked City - Torture Garden (1990)


Marduk - Fuck Me Jesus (1991)

[Deoster]

Love to see Torture Garden represented already!

Miles Davis - Bitches Brew (1970)

Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters (1973)

Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus (1957) (Rest in peace!!!)

Ground-Zero - Consume Red (1997)

Peter Brötzmann - Machine Gun (1968)

Deep Turtle - There's a Vomitsprinkler in My Liverriver

Naked City - Absinthe (1993)

The Gerogerigegege - Live Greatest Hits (1991)

Spoiler

PainKiller - Guts of a Virgin (1991)

Nice picks! Also, you're pretty liberal with your NSFW definition. You don't have to be that afraid. Pretty much anything short of bare human genitals is fine. I would say those Naked City and The Gerogerigegege covers are fine to be unspoilered for example, not that it matters that much.

That's fair. I was being safe, but I don't suppose too many people are browsing here at work anyways

It's a bit of a meme in the classical music world but it fits the music and the composer so well. Most other classical album covers are just famous paintings or pictures of the conductor unfortunately. RIP the Mysterium.

Virgin Killer, rather not going to embed 8-)

An exhaustive list of just my favorite covers would quickly overwhelm this thread; curse my indecisiveness. For one that I both appreciate and find befitting of its music, Haunted Fish Cast Sideways Now by Trilogy comes to mind. Having listened to more experimental electronic since, it's not the most remarkable album, but one that's stuck with me strongly for its 'otherliness' across its pretty distinct tracks.



The same can be said of this iteration of the cover for Comarousal by DSIP (its pertinence to the album tracks vibes-wise.)



The most recent to strike my fancy is for Eurasia by Mitsukane Fukuzawa, which I'm listening to for the first time right now while eating a plate of french fries.
