H.R. Giger cover art . . .

[Nate The Great]

My Celtic Frost thread made me think of this.

What album covers can you think of that were designed by H.R. Giger? If you don't know who H.R. Giger is . . . he is the artist that designed the Aliens in the movies Alien and Species.

Here's some covers I thought of:

Carcass - Heartwork
Danzig - III: How the Gods Kill
Celtic Frost - I'm not sure which one, but I know he did one.
ELP - see story below


*Funny story. Once when I was a young lad, I bought an Emerson, Lake, and Palmer album just becaue it had an awesom H.R. Giger cover. So I figured it must be sort of along the lines of Deep Purple or Led Zepplin. WRONG! It was total 70's prog keyboard music. That's probably why I didn't buy the Celtic Frost album with the Giger cover (since I knew nothing about them). I learned not to judge a CD by its cover, I guess.

the guy who does the Scald covers is definitely influenced by Giger's work. I like that kind of stuff, very cryptic, yet it has a fascinating simplicity to it.

It's "To Mega Therion", and there is another one inside the booklet.

Carcass - Heartwork
Danzig - III: How the Gods Kill
ELP - Brain Salad Surgery

Those are the only ones I know, the Carcass and Danzig covers made me a huge Giger fan. And ELP rules!!!
