Perhaps that is the most chilling all in the history of rock, no more than an attempt sensationalist title. There are many covers that, but is very different when abused elements to achieve that is to be achieved when being provided with simplicity, ie, as in film or literature, often no more terror is the most bizarre but it is well told. There is no point having more frightening creature and have all the walls covered with blood if that does not fit through the pores of the receiver. Photography, painting, and drawing are the methods of narration of the leading artists in these fields, a good design can mean many things.
disc's cover is the art and music this is the message, which in turn is the art of that which is communicated through the universal language. The cover of a disc is its calling card. A cover should be good, be bold and should be related to the content, something that apparently did not understand many labels and many artists (meaning that there are really bad covers, not to be confused with simple and a completely white cover could be an excellent cover). Rock when we speak, we hear it more related to that topic because as time goes by, arguably, culturally established a good rock album has an excellent cover (there are exceptions).
The covers of rock albums have also been characterized by making the controversial inclusion, something for nothing out of place coming from a musical genre that has always caused a stir. Highlighting issues such as sexuality and Satanism. Covers such as "Yesterday and Today" (1966) of the Beatles, the "Electric Ladyland" (1968) Jimmy Handrix and "Virgin Killer" (1976) Scorpions are one example. We speak of "the Devil's music", a term that has been known that Elvis moved his hips, long before the controversial start doing covers of his or figures like Marilyn Manson or Rob Zombie think of birth, even was not an exclusive term as previously rock given to other music styles or songs. Often the choice of these covers were made in response to the social thought of the day, as a demonstration of rebellion, because I wanted to annoy someone or just want to make use of humor, as was the case with the cover of the album "Harmonica" ( 1994) of the Black Crowes. The rock was always a response so it is possible that the same company may have influenced the development of these portals. Bands like Slayer
realized that the evil images drew attention after he and other bands to make use of this strategy. Iron Maiden mascot Eddie is in the Head that appears in all its covers and the same He used the devil or the dragon for its medieval-themed covers. But not to be confused with satanic terror, although the devil is an excellent character of terror and evil can cause horror in some humans, is different when something is directed at those who appreciate when something is truly terrifying. As I said at the beginning, the grotesque can be a cause for horror, but horror is not true. Black Metal Bands and Death Metal make use of the grotesque or the satanic to the art of many of their covers, such as Deicide, Mercyful Fate, Dark Funeral, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth from an endless variety. Now more than a possible art became a cliche for those genres. Among the most horrific covers I would emphasize "Retro Active" (1992) of Def Leppard.
But the scariest of all, the author of this blog is not to be simply, besides having the things I mentioned earlier (it is equipped with simple but it is still terrific and is very consistent with the disc content ) is a real classic rock that caused a momentary although controversial, his genius lies in the fact that behind it a legend.
It's Black Sabbath, 1970:
The self-titled album by British band Black Sabbath, is, at most, one of the best debut albums of all time. It was released on Friday February 13, 1970. For Vertigo Records. Under a budget of 600 pounds, which made limited amount were to be recorded in two days but despite this and the hostile reception that gave the critical field, reached the British top ten where it stayed for three months.
Legend has it that when it was revealed a photograph of an old haunted house, taken with the intention of using the cover of the album, appeared a strange woman who was not at the time of capture. The photograph was taken by Marcus Keef, an extraordinary photographer hired the record company and had already signed to take over the following two covers. The band never said that was true, in fact, when asked Bill Ward (drums) and the strange woman, see if it was a model, he replied: "I remember nothing of a woman, drugged lived twenty-four hours a day. "
Others tell that this is a witch, or a woman who was passing the area and damaged the photograph, when it was revealed the small error and I am pleased immortalized for all fans of Heavy Metal. The truth is that what is not any haunted house, what you see in the background is the Mapledurham Mill, Watermill in England. Of the woman nothing is known but is believed to be a model, but only the fact that nothing is known, accommodates the mystery behind the cover. But I could say that perhaps the idea of \u200b\u200bthe cover was greez Butler (bass).
Butler, was a fan of the novels of Dennis Wheatley, a writer who did some accounts novels about Satanism. When Black Sabbath was still Earth. Butler earned an occult book written in Latin, with whom he once had a vision of a black figure sitting on the corner of his bed, after telling what happened Ozzy wrote the song "Black Sabbath" (Saturday Coven black or black), inspired by his vision and in the 1963 film of the same name. What then would become the definitive name of the band. It coincides black silhouette description the lady on the face. The mysterious woman standing in that sepia clouds and sky that fall is even little detail in the original vinyl LP on the design used in photography. Surely the woman is dressed all in black and that makes it disallows in her arms wearing a black cat. You can not say that I will miss all the rumors that were born after this, there is one which says that the original LP could be the figure of an angel and a devil in one of the trees.
Just listen to the song - Black Sabbath - to realize that there may be no other cover in the history of rock that is as appropriate to its content, and then finish listening to the whole disc is confirmed. From the sound of rain, the creaking of the sky and the opening bell until the final guitar scream indicating that unfortunately it was over. This album was part image Satanist who debuted in the songs of the band, due to its dark and sinister atmosphere. Butler, eventually declared that more than a satanic wave, at least the song that gives name to all, is a warning of the danger of practices such as the occult.
The second song on the album is called "The Wizard" (The Wizard), inspired by the wizard Gandalf in "The Sanor of the Rings" JJR Tolkien, this song highlights the sound of harmonica played by Ozzy. Then comes "Behind the Wall of Sleep" (Behind the Wall of Sleep) that breaks with excellent bass performance as opening act for "NIB" the fourth song on the album that refers to demonic temptations. followed by the cover "Evil Woman" The Crow original and "Warning" belonging to Ansley Dunbar Band, the album ends with what would be his first single "Wicked World" (World inucuo). Throughout the disc the combination of the brilliant and unique Iommy guitar riffs (mostly recorded from a white Fender Stratocaster) the strange voice of Ozzy Osbourne, and the dark atmosphere that Butler had in his mind, makes this disc not only a legend but also musical masterpiece of art and terror. It is hard to imagine the first listen of 1970 ranked among the shadows half cut in opaque and light a candle, this disc and let it roll until sinister and imaginary narrator's voice say: FIN, all without opening the hearing on its cover.
