    I've seen some really off the wall album artwork from death metal and gore grind bands in particular. You can post it from any genre, but I'm guessing the bulk of the most crazed cover art will come from the extreme metal genres, so that's why I posted this in the heavy metal sub-forum. If a mod is really offended, please don't ban me. Please just take down the post, and I'll never bring up the topic again. lol

    Remember "Araya heap" maybe spelled wrong but has crazy demon on cover. This was a band from the 70's not that heavy though.

    Probably the grossest album cover I've ever seen was some photo of two girls cavorting in what I presume was supposed to be diarrhea. I have not posted the cover, as I have no desire to view the vile thing ever again! And yes, you guessed it, it was a cover of some goregrind band, called Torso**** :p

    Goregrind definately has the grossest covers. Difference with for example Cannibal corpse is that they often use real photos which makes it of course more disturbing than painted artwork. I'm not sure I wanna look them up either haha. They're disgusting.
    I have to admit my fav albumssleeves with shock value are blasphemous black metal covers, not that I'm such a blasphemer myself but I appreciate the music and values more as grindcore or death metal. That being said, I'm not fond of people starting to cut themselves on stage (or other people for that matter :D) :p

    Believe me, you don't wish to look up the cover I just mentioned! lol The real photos covers are definitely far worse than most of the painted artwork. I know the Mayhem cover you posted first is the actual photo of the former lead singer who had killed himself with a shotgun... lovely!

    The "How The God's Kill" Danzig artwork, I'm sure is a painting by H.R. Giger, who also designed the Alien from the Alien movies. :)

    If some of you have the stomach for it, look into Waco Jesus' "The Destruction of Commercial Scum." I'm pretty sure I can't post it here but it's easily one of the sickest covers imaginable.

    I have not seen the Waco Jesus sleeve. Just hearing about it was bad enough to make me not wish to see it! lol

    And yes, I think they are more well known for that sleeve than their music. I sometimes think that's why such bands try to make such vile covers. Cos their music sucks so much, it's the only way they can get any attention! lol A bit like how if AC's lyrics weren't so outrageous, nobody would know who they are. :p

    I think they are maybe Simon Bisley or Giger.
