Apocalyptic Album Art Picture Thread

I suppose this is stretching it a bit, but given the flaming carnage hinted at behind them and the fact that they're wearing Road Warrior-style shoulder pads, I'd say the pics are intended in to invoke a post-apocalyptic ambience. Plus, they're basically ripping off Kiss who, as this thread handily demostrates from the get-go, beat them to the apocalyptic cover idea.

This always makes me think of Hieronymous Bosch. Apocalyptic-ish?

Midnight Oil's Red Sails in the Sunset

The cover of the "Wardance" single isn't necessarily the apocalypse, tho'.
