I don’t know where to start with this at all. What the fuck did the other rejected covers look like?

Dunno but I’m afraid to find out.

Bizarrely this album is pretty good (and sounds nothing like you’d expect from the cover).

She’d best get that checked out tbf

I actually like the artwork but I’m deeply unfussed by the record.

I can’t get it to upload, but the new Gary Barlow album is worth a look

He looks like the emperor of a planet in a sci-fi film being attacked from all sides by some shadowy, fast moving aliens.

Obsidian Kingdom - MEAT MACHINE

It’s certainly… something. It feels like it has achieved what it has gone for. What it has gone for I’m not sure but it has nailed it.

Does that make any sense?

definitely. hard to imagine a more appropriate album cover for someone called meat machine. feel like there’s a bit of a punching down attitude in these threads.

Only redeeming feature is it kinda says what it’s all about

I quite like this

Also I’ve just given them a listen. I’m still on the first song on this album, but I’m really into it. Makes me think of Faith No More, Nine Inch Nails, The Jesus Lizard and Entombed all at once

Ooft I might need to give them the once over then

Quite enjoyed Obsidian Kingdom’s debut from years ago, haven’t really checked out anything since. Progressive metal I seem to remember, will have to give this one a go.
