yeah, and the beatles actually got people to go out and kill for them. these goregrind bands better head back to the drawing board.

Cripes. Some of those upthread are truly disquieting....notably the autophagous orgy one.

The Dwarves one is a classic. Reflects the music perfectly.

Big Black's Headache came out in a totally different cover originally, depicting a politician of some sort who'd just shot himself in the head. It's not very pretty and I'm not posting a link, but it makes these other ones look pretty weak.

Except for the Beatles, obviously. ;o)

Shite, bracket catastrophe :o(

Nick B: the sleeve of Headache was just some random suicide victim. You're possibly thinking of Rapeman's EP Budd, named after crooked official R Budd Dywer who topped himself at a press conference. This wasn't commemorated in picture form on the sleeve, though.

Mencap, yer quite right, I'm getting the two things muddled.

the 7" that came with the 12 had an even more obviously bloody cover
*goes to hunt for it*
