Happy Easter (A Day Late)

Obviously metal does not have a very good relationship with Christianity. The two are often at odds. So, for this special holiday, let's take a look at some album covers that are particularly blasphemous.

AYAT: SIX YEARS OF DORMANT HATRED
Here we have a metal band from Lebanon of all places. On this cover we can see that Jesus has been pushed to the side in favor of a nakd woman. I am sure this is supposed to mean something, I just don't know what.

ANGELCORPSE: OF LUCIFER AND LIGHTNING
And in this corner, we have Satan devouring crucified Jesus feet first. Angelcorpse unfortunately broke up recently. But the good news is that Order From Chaos will reform from Angelcorpse's ashes.

GRAVE: AS RAPTURE COMES
Here Jesus is about to be devoured by a legion of demons. Grave is one of the leaders from the Swedish death scene along with Entombed and Dismember.

ROTTING CHRIST: KHRONOS 666
I had to get this band in here because even their name is on point. This isn't a particularly bad cover, just a picture of the crucified Jesus. I posted about Rotting Christ previously, so I won't rehash anything here.




CRYPTOPSY: NONE SO VILE
This is one of the most brutal albums of all time. And what a cover too. The Virgin Mary serving Jesus's head on a silver platter.
