and here is my newest entry.

I don't collect vinyl but every time I'm in my local Goodwill scrounging for CDs I always flip through the moldy old LPs too, just to see what kind of weird sh** will turn up. Here are a half dozen album covers that made me go WTF?

A few new entries over the past few weeks...

Dokken's 1999 album Erase The Slate is mostly forgotten today but at the time it was a return to form for them after a disastrous couple of years:

California's SADUS straddled the line between thrash and death metal and released some cool, seriously p*ssed off stuff:

I'm not a melodic death metal fan at all, but this Norwegian band was nice enough to send me their new album to check out, so I tried to do'em a solid.
If you dig In Flames, Dark Tranquility, Lamb Of God, etc, check'em out.

When I saw Frightmare, I thought it was the Pete Walker film.

When I saw Frightmare, I thought it was the Pete Walker film. 

I've heard of, but never seen, that "Frightmare"... but when I was image-searching for a poster of the '83 film to go with my review, pics for that one kept coming up, I had to be careful not to pick the wrong one. :D
