CREEPIEST ALBUM COVERS !!
« on: 6 Feb 2009, 02:41 am »

               This Is just awful.

   

               Most of Butthole Surfers albums covers are bad, but this is beyond bad taste

           

                        This is actually recent (1999), but the creepiness factor of it makes us reconsider life
         
           Let me touch him". These four might be responsible for the invention of the restraining order
         
         This has to be one of the most depressing album covers ever
       
       Pussy... cat... get it? Yeap, funny and classy
       
         Not content to merely show someone using the toilet, Fortran 5 decided to go that tasteful extra mile and provided us with a nude man taking a bath.

       
After this, we're pretty sure we'll never be able to smile again

       

         Satan is Real... and the "Louvin Brothers" are there to sing about it

         

         Look Ira, we don't really want to know what you'd be like as a woman...

       

              Now this is one creepy gang

   

                  These guys look like that depressing band your uncle hired for his cheap wedding...

         

                  And you wanna know who CREEP is ........

       

             No comments!

         

           Berlin band Knorkator with "Hasenchartbreaker". "Hasen" means "rabbits" in English. However, this doesn't explain why they should want to look like Kiss on a particularly bad day.

         

                Perhaps Hannibal Lecter was a big influence on this?

     

                  "Mystery To Me" was a Fletwood Mac album from the relatively obscure period between the successes of "Albatross", "Man of the World", "Oh Well etc, and the huge success of "Rumours". As for the cover, it's a mystery to me too! ... For a start, why has the cover artist drawn a large brown penis on the Gorilla's back? ... and why is it weeping?

         

              Ex Kansas frontman Steve Walsh, with his 2000 album "Glossolalia" (speaking in tongues basically). It's a pretty horrific image certainly, and somewhat reminiscent of the paintings of Francis Bacon. However, what confuses me is, what's the hell is the cactus all about?!?!

       

         Heavy Metal band Riot with "Fire Down Under" ... What the f@#k is this about then?

         
             "That acid was TOO good!"

         
                       What the hell is this supposed to be?

         

                    Velvett Fogg. You really have to see the full sized version of this to appreciate it's full awfulness. However, the blonde girl's breasts are sheer perfection

         
             Ken Nordine sums it all up so well, with an enema on a door!?

         

                   The guy at the front looks like he is taking a real "bullyramming" ... however, I'd better be careful about what I say here, as these guys look like they may be connected in the Cosa Nostra sense, as well as in the literal one!

Ministry - Land of Rape & Honey...the cover is an obscured picture of a dead guy...the guy is actually the guy who got trampled to death at one of their shows.  Ranks pretty high up on the creepiness scale.

Lard - Power of Lard....don't own this one, it was just in amazon's suggestions when I went looking for the previous pic.  I think it fits the thread subject well.

first i've heard of this. according to wikipedia: "The image on the cover appears to be an electronically-processed version of a photo of a burned corpse in the Leipzig-Thekla sub-camp of Buchenwald"

Thanks for the clarification on the Ministry alb pic.  Its probably misinformation I read somewhere.  There was an incidence of someone getting trampled at a Ministry show way back when and a controversy surrounding safety of their shows.  This album was released thereafter, so whoever wrote that probably drew a conclusion not well researched.

The cactus looks like San Pedro ...highly hallucinogenic.  If so, it would fit the motif of the cover.
