When I searched for disturbing album images , I didn't even know that these albums would be available on Deezer, but I was wrong.

The main question is why are such images on album cover at all !?

What do you think? ​@awesomemac 

The same question applies to all !

It’s said that “tastes break genres”


In the 90s I listened to Love/Hate, with their disturbing album cover art. Sure, some will say that this is art, but I don’t:

 

 


@Nina Nebo I think this band makes a choice in these offensive album covers because they want to show that they are AGAINST the establishment or to shock. Negative attention is also attention.

True ​@awesomemac !
Also in metal rock music the most topics are dark subjects and they sing about death and destruction so they have disturbing album covers .
