Slayer Repentless:
Slayers newest album cover is probably to most scariest yet and contends with the album, haunting in the chapel which name even sounds as creepy as it looks. But the edge does have to go to Repentless purely because of how abnormal paranormal and scary it looks.
Evidently it is Jesus dying on the cross with his eyes completely blackened maybe to connote that he is being possessed and how much power the devil has over Jesus and God, well thats how i imagined it and what it meant as a viewer of the cover.
Even the T in the title is in the shape of an upside cross in which St Peter was crucified as he felt he wasn't worthy to die in the same way as the messiah which shows the illustrator of the cover (Howard Schwarzberg) has a good knowledge on religious history.
The album cover overall looks strongly linked to the work of Francisco Goya. I will post a picture of his work and show the resemblance of Goya and Schwarzbergs work on his pictures and the album cover. It heavily portrays the savage of man, madness insanity and heavily brings to ind schizophrenia in my opinion.
