Chumbawamba - The Boy Bands Have Won
RATM - RATM
Death metal ones are usually pretty brutal.
One of my favs is Tomb of the Mutilated by Cannibal Corpse.
nsfw
Yeah, Cannibal Corpse came to my mind too. It was Butchered at birth, to be precise.
Man beat me to it… 🤣
Yeah. Grind specifically.
I prefer the simple classics:
Great thread idea - you might also enjoy !albumartporn@lemmy.world, which has some pretty out-there covers.
I’ll nominate Abraxas by Santana which has a lot to take in!
Herb Alpert - Whipped Cream & Other Delights
Thrifts stores are littered with them. I think people got it just for the cover.
Also Spiritual Healing
I just learned about the original album artwork for Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction which goes pretty hard
That’s in the inner liner.
The censored cover for the Beatles White Album:
(NSFW?)
spoiler
I had to look that up, it’s not The White Album but Yesterday and Today as stated on the cover, nevertheless an interesting fact, thanks
Came here to post this. But it’s not the White Album (so called; it had no title) but rather Yesterday and Today . It’s known as the “butcher cover,” and the only printed a couple thousand of them.
@iamahab@feddit.org Jinx!
Mayhem - The Dawn of the Black Hearts,
Look up at your own peril, this comes with trigger warnings
Mayhem really lived up to their name
I told my wife about that one a while ago, she was not impressed
Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers.
There was a version with a working zipper on the cover, but it was expensive to produce and scratched the record.
If that were released today there would be a Culture War Discourse about it.
Its funny how “decency” changes. Mamas and papas first album just 5 years prior to sticky fingers had to be censored because there was a toilet in the picture.
Pungent Stench - Been Caught Buttering. The original album art, which depicted two severed, partially decomposed heads kissing (in fact, it is one head which had been sawed in half by Joel-Peter Witkin)
Fresh White Reeboks Kickin Your Ass by Nigel Pepper Cock is a very visibly hard album cover
Smell the Glove
It’s like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.
The Small Faces’ Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake goes pretty hard if you roll it down a hill.
IYKYK.
