“Lip-Sync” for Career
REASONS:

Awesome Album Covers – I

Metal (and some rock) bands usually have great album covers – from realistic to dark to dark-fantasy to gore to computerized artworks. I generally go for dark-realistic but straight and non-abstract covers which can connect with the album title, lyrics, message and most importantly – the music. Here are some of the album covers that I think are GREAT.

 

NAPALM DEATH: SCUM (1987)

“Multinational corporations
Genocide of the starving nations”

These lines explain it all.

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE: RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE (1992)

The burning monk on the cover of Rage Against The Machine is Thich Quang Duc, an elderly Buddhist monk. He is immolating himself on a main intersection in Saigon, Vietnam on June 11, 1963 to protest the rule of Ngo Dinh Diem, the American-backed leader of Vietnam who was leading an anti-Buddhist campaign in southern Vietnam. This action was witnessed and filmed by many members of the American media and led to the end of the Diem rule in Vietnam.
