10 albums with sinister cover art
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA – Zombie
Release Date: August 23, 2010
How about the eerie nothingness of a foggy field to stir up your imagination with visions of an undead apocalypse?
SENSES FAIL – Let It Enfold You
Release Date: September 7, 2004
Mirrors are normally used to check your hair and make sure it looks top notch. The Let It Enfold You cover deals with a man staring at the tortured soul that is himself.
CODE ORANGE – I Am King
Release Date: September 2, 2014
This Kurt Ballou-recorded collection represents the odd and disturbing. The perfect cover for music that encompasses these themes? A picture of the title carved into someone’s face.
ICE NINE KILLS – The Predator Becomes the Prey
Release Date: January 21, 2014
Red eyes and demon-like hands? Someone call for an exorcist!
WHITECHAPEL – This Is Exile
Release Date: July 8, 2008
This one will surely make you say “ouch.” Enjoy looking at a man with barbed wire pierced throughout his body.
SLIPKNOT – All Hope Is Gone
Release Date: August 20, 2008
What would a group of similarly dressed people be doing in a random field on an overcast day? There’s definitely something sinister about this one.
SUICIDE SILENCE – The Cleansing
Release Date: September 18, 2007
The Dave McKean-designed work matches perfectly with the subject matter of this Suicide Silence release. But really… could you imagine this happening to you?
AVENGED SEVENFOLD – Nightmare
Release Date: July 27, 2010
The self-explanatory art sets the scene for a person being tormented by the band’s signature deathbat character. Doesn’t look like we’ll be sleeping anytime soon.
CHELSEA GRIN – Chelsea Grin
Release Date: July 27, 2008
This is the perfect picture for their self-titled release, as it depicts exactly what the band is named for: a poor human suffering this brutal torture technique.
CANNIBAL CORPSE – Butchered At Birth
Release Date: July 1, 1991
Every person that gazes upon this gruesome scene will find some level of discomfort. Thank you, Cannibal Corpse, for giving us the image of something we probably were never going to picture in our heads on our own.
