“This is the toughest record cover of all time. It’s an inspiration.” Motörhead – Motörhead
#Enigma album covers skin
When I first saw it, I was impressed by both its beauty and its power to make my skin crawl. It is neither an entirely good nor an entirely bad trip. The terror that interests me is largely unseen, and this album, both inside and out, has it in spades. It seems to me that the image is one of tolerance and spiritual elevation, but the underlying mood is incredibly dark and horrifying. The scene is so mystically fecund and so painstakingly rendered, I can’t help but dissolve in it. Mati Klarwein has done a number of great album cover paintings, and this is my favorite because Bitches Brew is one of my all-time favorite records. It’s a wonderful gatefold design, which is fast becoming a lost art. Your tour through the visual world of John Dyer Baizley begins here: Miles Davis – Bitches Brew To see more, check out his official art blog, A Perfect Monster. And of course, check out Yellow & Green, which will be released July 17 via Relapse. We’ve also compiled a gallery above of some of our favorite covers produced by Baizley, which is really only a small sampling of his remarkable work. Let’s call these six “a few of my favorites plucked randomly from a sea of amazing and influential album covers.” Honestly, limiting this to five albums is impossible. We asked him to write about five of his favorite album covers, to which he replied with: With his own band ready to release their hugely anticipated third full-length - the double-LP Yellow & Green, which features a jaw-dropping gatefold cover - we thought it would be interesting to see some of the artwork that inspired Baizley. It’s not unreasonable to suggest that Baizley’s art has come to be a defining element of the Southern metal scene, although that’s hardly where his influence ends. Among his other pursuits, for years now Baizley has been producing some of the most unique, intriguing, stylish, and bizarre album covers in the world (including, of course, all of the amazing artwork seen on Baroness’s album sleeves).
