Over the year I have managed to create quite a peculiar gallery of brainsick design from 2010, however there is an end to everything. Thank you for your support and thanks for viewing, this is my final post on this site.

Rating: bATsh!t

Another mad design art for the very-infallible Venetian Snares, just google his older releases.

Kanye West: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Rating: Moderately insane

"They don't want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix!" - Kanye West on the fact that this cover has been banned in the U.S.

Dvas: Society

Rating: Moderately insane

Apoptygma Berzerk: Imagine There’s no Lennon

Rating: Moderately insane

Shortstuff: The Summer of Shortstuff

Rating: Very insane

Captain Ahab: The End of Irony

Rating: Very insane

I saw them live and left after five minutes. Guessing from the nastiness of the first five minutes, if I had stayed, I might have seen this gross bit done on stage.

Jneiro Jarel: Fauna

Rating: Very insane

Weird Weeds - Help me Name Melody

Rating: Very insane

Masakari: The Prophet Feeds

Rating: Very insane

Metalheads among you can try out a bit of Masakari's crucifix-bashing onslaught on this link (right-click, Save as...)

Black Mountain: Wilderness Heart

Rating: Moderately insane

"Sharks are a wonder to me, and they're emblematic of something terrifying and unknown-- alien to your being. A large creature that lives in the ocean is so outside of what is comprehensible to a person. They've always captured my imagination since I was a kid. I've always loved them," says collage artist Jeremy Schmidt about this cover in a recent Pitchfork interview

Deerhunter: Halcyon Digest

Rating: Moderately insane

Violens: Amoral

Rating: Very insane

Spoek Mathambo: Mshini Wam

Rating: Very insane

Philip Selway: Familial

Rating: Very insane

This cover art is one of those that truly deserve to be seen in hi-res. Click on it to enlarge the picture.

Imbogodom: The Metallic Year

Rating: Moderately insane

A very nice painting here, reminiscent of René Magritte's famous Son of Man

Hell's Thrash Horsemen: Going Sane

Rating: Very insane

Despite my rating, Hell's Thrash Horsemen really seem to be going sane, just check out cover of their previous record. However, they still qualify with this one. Let me guess, the mayhem started just as that anchorman announced that Cher is going to release a new album?

Bongripper: Satan Worshipping Doom

Rating: bATsh!t

Northern Lite: Letters and Signs (part two)

Rating: Moderately insane

Part one of the record bears a very similar cover, only different colours. I prefer this waspy combination of yellow and black.

Misery Index: Heirs to Thievery

Rating: Very insane

Of Montreal: False Priest

Rating: bATsh!t

Cloud Nothings: Turning on

Rating: Moderately insane

Perfume Genius: Learning

Rating: Very insane

David Dondero: # Zero with a Bullet

Rating: Moderately insane

Tobacco: Fresh Hex

Rating: Moderately insane

Contrary to this design, the song itself hardly stays just moderately insane. It features Beck rapping various words starting with C and you can download it from here (right click, then Save as...)

Glasser: Ring

Rating: Moderately insane

Tokimonsta: Midnight Menu

Rating: bATsh!t

Zola Jesus: Stridulum

Rating: Very insane

In case you wondered, the frontwoman of Zola Jesus says that's chocolate syrup poured over her head. More about this peculiar idea on Pitchfork
