I think so. Can you tell the reason why you think otherwise. She does look like Meena Kumari, I dont suspect.

That is a delicious Album Art. I love Shawarma:licklips:.

OT: Was reminded of Souvalaki (Greek delicacy... similar preperation, but meat is mounted horizontally).

For a moment I read it as Awalaki (One among my Favourites)

@ Denom - Thanks for posting

All these albums remind me of my college days!! Awesome i feel like listening to Slayer / Testament (Ritual & Low were too good)

Denom, those album art look scary mate.

For a moment I read it as Awalaki (One among my Favourites)

Awalaki preperations are also a favourite food for me.

 

[denom]

which ones scared you Santhosh??? Always hunt for albums with morbid covers, really find this kind of art fascinating. Ones put up are not even half as scary as some explicit ones on most BM/DM Band Album Covers :licklips:hyeah:

Great ! lots of contribution there. Thanks everyone. Though I am not metal music fan but I respect individual likings, but I never understood any relation between music and biting the head off of live Chicken and Bat on stage. If you know what I mean. :lol:

Regarding album cover art, my personal opinion is showing violence and flesh is the easiest way to get out of the hardwork evolved in showing creativity. As mentioned in my first post I will be collecting meaningful and creative album art covers.
Best Regards

If you follow the album arts you would know that some of the artists were infatuated with a certain theme of their album arts - may be flesh, violence etc. It does not take away anything from their creative music. Neither do such album arts add anything to sales.

Those were some of the contoversial album arts in the history.

There seems to be a confusion I am talking about album art (have edited my post). Regarding sales, generally It's an open secret at any product launch companies resort to easiest way to be in the news by different means.

Those were some of the contoversial album arts in the history.

Album you mentioned I already posted in post #21. Thanks again and regards
