Witch Piss - The Devil Doesn't Burn - Album Cover

Ah, the Satanik Panik is back amongst us yet again. Allegedly. At least judging by the flame-ridden album cover and the entry monologue on the first track. All of that comes from a band geniusly called Witch Piss, no less. A work of ‘art’ that’s so typically late ’70s, I want to go find a time machine and correct this ever-returning theme.

And then, their album moniker bluntly states that The Devil Doesn’t Burn. Doesn’t it, now? Mankind has yet to find out, methinks. But I digress. Let’s see if this message of fire, brimstone, and social depravity … [...] Click to raid more!

Sons of Arrakis - Volume II - Album Cover

The theme, fil-rouge, or storyline is an important pillar of any one great album. To choose the right one demands skill and careful attention. And it’s used as a vessel to drive a crisp narrative, to jolt the songwriting in the right direction, and to keep it snappy and brisk. And most of the time, this works out just beautifully.

But then, exceptions happen. And Bull Elephant‘s The Long War is one of them. To call their choice of storyline unfortunate is an understatement. BE here boast a fairytale full of Nazi paraphernalia, Himmler’s last stand at the SS … [...] Click to raid more!

Dust Prophet - One Last Look Upon the Sky - Album Cover

Why is it that pretty much all deserts on album covers are orange? The mighty influence of the sands of Arizona or virtual visits to the worms of Dune, perhaps. Or again, a subconscious submission to all those Hollywoodian fantasy shenanigans that happened to crawl across our screens over the years. Or is orange the color of the grim reaper? We got three of them right here on the artwork after all. I guess we’ll never know for sure.

What we do know, however, is that Dust Prophet not only chose their dystopian album cover well, but also their style … [...] Click to raid more!
