What about the Rolling Stones cover of Goat Head's Soup? And their tongue symbol? Pleased to meet you I hope you guess my name what's puzzling you is the nature of my game - lyric from Sympathy for the Devil off Beggars Banquet and Brian Jones ended up dead shortly thereafter.
The Rolling Stones sticking-out-tongue is the Hindu goddess Kali, the goddess of all bad and evil. Goats Head Soup was recorded in Jamaica and it is rumoured that it is the result of a voodoo ritual in the form of a vinyl record. Awful album btw

This is Kate Nash’s debut album “Made of Bricks”. She is wearing a red dress, which symbolizes sacrifice. Does anyone notice any other symbolism on this album cover?

Well,the bricks,the yellow road,this sinister looking house as a destination (see the black cat on the roof), the daisies (instead of poppies)...these are all a replica of the original Wizard of Oz film settings. I have to find out about the meaning of the bushes shaped as horses though, what they actually represent, because the others are quite obvious, they look like,well,male reproductive organs.

I don't know how to reproduce album covers. But someone should show " Welcome To Hell " by metal band Venom. Believe me it tops all these. Also the last few albums by Abysmal Dawn have extremely bizarre covers of a dystopian future.
I like you as a poster but I am sorry,it doesn't even top the next album on the shelf of the record store. I mean, do you think that it tops Sgt Pepper for example ? You're smart enough,so don't fall for the Venom one, it's kids' stuff,to say the least.

On the album cover for "Welcome to Hell" by the band called "Venom", there is an image of the horned deity baphomet, and an inverted pentagram inside a sigil, which is all representative of satanism.

@Lizard King you're right, it does top all of the ones that have been posted on here, by far.

I can only imagine what the lyrics are like to this album. :0
No,it doesn't top anything at all. Please, don't be naive,this is just something that they found in the pages of a random book about the occult or whatever. There are far more sinister album covers out there, which don't have to depict a goat to be really sinister. Go check the Edgar Broughton Band's Out Demons Out, for example.

Ok! So there's this band from the 70s/80s called Talking Heads and this is probably their most famous album (REMAIN IN LIGHT) with the album cover being designed by Tibor Kalman (I'll have to investigate him further too), there is an upside down letter 'A' which apparently means 'The logical symbol ∀ - "for all". According to Wikipedia "According to the principle of acrophony, the letter A originated from the Proto-Sinatic alphabet as a symbol representing the head of an ox or cow (aleph), its orientation and original meaning having been lost over time. The turned A symbol restores the letter to a more easily recognizable logographic representation of an ox's head.[5]

What is 'For all'?
Don't you think the 'ox' A looks like a baphomet? Is it a reference to moloch? Am I overthinking things?
I think the inversion is very intentional though...
You know how the elites and satanists are obsessed with inversion and 'masks'...
Remain in Light? What 'Light' are they referring to? The angel of light- Lucifer? Illuminati light? Because they are definitely not in God's light.

I have a whole thread on them ready on a Word Doc for whenever admin decides to give me thread posting rights.
This is a band I am very fascinated by, especially their lead singer David Byrne...
I'm surprised nobody here has mentioned it before.
He made some creepy predictive programming in 1979. Someone pointed out some predictive programming of things like 9-11 in his movie from 1986. He has all these elite connnections. He went to that Met Gala thing recently. He is Scottish but in an even weirder cult than Freemasons (Or maybe it is a front for the freemasons. I have done my research and it's like his whole life is dedicated to weirdness...
I can't wait to do a whole thread about Talking Heads when I can.
They have some Interesting lyrics too which straddle the line between plain weird and potentially having some deep elite gnostic meaning...
I want to dig into it more and maybe someone smart can help me hahaha
Their 'Little Creatures' album cover is pretty weird too with some... slightly unsettling inscriptions.

Byrne wasn't the only weird one I guess although it was mainly him. When they were disbanded in 1991, the split was so sudden and acrimonious because he announced to press that they were splitting without telling other members and the bassist Tina Weymouth and drummer Chris Frantz and Keyboardist Jerry Harrison tried to continue but then David Byrne sued them so they rebooted the band as 'The Heads', collabed with a bunch of other singers and had a voodoo doll picture for the first single ( called 'Damage I’ve Done' ) in their album which is suspected to be an allusion to sacrificing the astranged lead singer...It wasn't a very successful album in spite of all the celebrity collaborations including Debbie Harrie and obviously they never sacrificed him and maybe they tried but he was way too powerful? Idk... Very very strange band though.

EatZeBug, you offer great insights about symbols and I think you are one of very few users who understands what's really sinister. Respect.

Interesting guy is David Byrne. He is in the autism spectrum and both extremely smart and weird.

As to the Remain in Light album, it was all Vudu ,the great curve being a prime example (if you listen to that track loud while wearing earphones it makes it feel claustrophobic) and the song 'Listening Wind' allegedly predicts suicide bombings.

The other album mentioned, Little Creatures, in the video for the song And She Was he predicts, with 100% accuracy, that an Oscar would be coming his way which it duly did in 1987 or 88.

Have you ever listened to My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts? Well worth researching if you want a better understanding of the brain behind TH.

Btw there was a rumour that Byrne sacrificed a child in Brazil during some sort of Vudu ceremony...I believe that Tina Weymouth allegedly was quoted as saying as much.

Great, that's the kind of occult symbolism I like to investigate,not the Venom's album cover art !

It looks like the future of Transhumanism to me. The musician "Arca" is a trans woman. Notice how she's shaped as a "serpent," and regarding the people lying on the ground just below "her," well...I think they're all "transhumans." You know, possibly clones, homosexuals who are controlled by Arca in a lustful manner. As you can see, they're all engaging in homosexual acts. I'm not sure if they're alive or dead, but it looks like they're dead.
You can see the word "Diva" that is engraved on Arca's right arm as a weapon.
"She"also has only one breast covered, the other one is exposed. There are pyramidal structures and a ladder. These are all masonic related iconography. There are some weird looking creatures floating in the sky, they look like fallen demons. And an electrical current coming out of "her" and running through all these idiots below her, like keeping them together. Seems like the thunder of Zeus is controlling them.

They came from Austin,Texas and their frontman was poor Rocky Erickson. I really feel sorry for this guy, I liked him very much,his band too,an excellent proto-psychedelic band. Far too original for their time. Rocky was caught with something like a nanogramm of marijuana in the late 60s and he was sent to a mental health institute where he went under electroshock treatment for some years.Actually he was used as a guinea pig for the search of the results of this treatment upon humans. To everyone's surprise , he came back in action and he released three seminal albums on his own (well, with the help of some fellow musicians whom he had as his band) in the late 70s,with Gremlins Have Pictures being an absolute masterpiece. So, you got it wrong here,the 13th Floor Elevators were never part of the music industry, they actually didn't have the time to be part of it. Their third album, Bull Of The Woods is such a good album. Unfortunately, poor Rocky passed away a couple of years ago, forgotten by the bast**ds of the industry but NEVER by his fans. The American Syd Barrett in way, parallel lives, parallel stories. He was a good guy, really,a victim of his own idiosyncracy.

Singer SayGrace album cover , she did a cover of 60's song titled You don't own me :

View attachment 88375
You Don't Own Me is considered to be the first "girl power/me too" song,sung by Lesley Gore back in the 60s. An unusual song, to say the least. To me,it could also be translated as not being owned by her handler, under the cover of a love song.

Back in my day the album covers were a lot cooler I think. The ones that I can think of right now are Tull's Aqualung; Eno's "Here Come the Warm Jets" was pretty cool; and the coolest of all to us back then was ELP (Emerson Lake & Palmer) the TARKUS album cover. I think Tarkus had a fold out or something, there were those funky war machine things and of course the Tarkus armadillo tank was always cool to gaze at. I still think the guitar solo at the beginning of the song Tarkus is by far the best wailing ever. Look it up, there's some cool backstory to it and the artist. I don't recall us ever coming up with any "theories" about our album covers, but the art was much better then I think.
ELP were the first ever to use a Giger creation for an "art" statement. Without them perhaps there would be no Alien movie,lol .They literally discovered Giger. Which is sad, because Giger is SO demonic,SO perverted,SO satanic. I dislike the work of this artist to the fullest ext. Makes me throw up, really.Why did you do it,dear ELP ? (Keith Emerson having been the most accomplished keyboard player ever,in my opinion).

The only one I remember ever protesting a nude cover, was Jimmy Hendrix.
Or what about Blind Faith's eponymous album,which depicts Ginger Baker's underage daughter's nude breast ? Check this out, filthy stuff. Which musician in his right mind would expose his daughter in such an appalling way for all the world to see ?

there's nothing symbolic there, but you could see a mysterious figure in the balcony above, that's from Eagles Hotel California Lp Inside cover , you have to zoom the picture to see better :

It's supposed to be Anton La Vey himself, the founder of the Church of Satan in San Francisco. Excuse me, how old are you all here ? I feel like an old fart,lol. This is common (conspiracy) knowledge since ages !

Thanks Diogenes. I've been grateful for this site however recently people now seem so preoccupied by the Gaza strip that they talk about little else and pick fights with me and use Marxist language and Muslim extremist rhetoric (Marx is a hardcore atheist jew, Rothschild's 3rd cousin, his philosophy is responsible for 100 million dead) and they derail my threads when it has nothing to do with Middle Eastern conflict. This confirms my suspicion that it is a psy-op on both ends. I wish people would return to the purpose of this website- decoding the deeper symbolism behind media, instead of continuing to turn this website into a superficial left-wing activism hivemind platform like every other social networking site full of people (bots?) parroting all the slogans I hear on college campus. I really think there has been an infiltration of plants, bots and trolls on here.

This is the cover art for Michael Bublé's 5th studio album titled Call Me Irresponsible. He is seen doing the one eye sign with a shadow on the album cover.

Just because many users here ask what's the case with the letter X, here it is again. Crossed arms,a satanic sign. You have to check this out too, there's plenty of info out there.
