Mob Rules. Mob say "Kill Ozzy".

Black Sabbath - Mob Rules, 1981

Black Sabbath is an English heavy metal band.Blah Blah Blah... (the story of Black Sabbath is obvious, everyone knows that band ;-) ) Due to internal conflicts and an evident lack of commitment due to drugs, Ozzy Osbourne (their first vocalist) was asked to officially leave the band in 1979. He was replaced by Ronnie James Dio.

On "Mob Rules" album (the second one with Dio) supposedly we can see inscription "Kill Ozzy".



It is still unchecked. The author of the cover art Greg Hilderbrandt denied that all... It seems to be just a invention of music fans...

added: That 'Y' should be placed somewhere else. my fault.

Worst Album Covers Ever

Burzum - Aske. Burned church and the lighter.

On 6 June 1992 the wooden stave church of Fantoft (Norway) was burned to the ground by arson - Varg Vikernes. Vikernes is a founder of Burzum, the black metal band from Norway formed in 1988/1989. The name was taken from J.R.R. Tolkien's novel The Lord of the Rings. In the speach of Mordor "Burzum" means Darkness.


The building featured on the cover is the ruins of the Fantoft church. Vikernes says that was revenge on Christians for desecrating graves of pagans.

The best thing is that the 1000 first copies of album were distributed with Zippo lighters with Aske cover art painted on them. I tried to get a photo of that lighter but that was diffucult, but who knows, maybe someday i'll put it here. ;-)
