You wouldn't believe the amount of black/doom/death/grind/etc. metal albums we get at the record store I work at: One of my co-workers knows many people in the T.O. metal scene, and they've discovered that we're receptive to the volumes of metal they want to get rid of. This means I get to see literally hundreds of metal CD covers some weeks. Some of them are really, really interesting. And then, there are the tonnes of them that are just completely stoopid, juvenile, offensive-for-the-sake-of-being-offensive, poorly executed, poorly rendered, poorly chosen, etc. I guess the above was an attempt to take some of the common elements I see in those covers (respect for women isn't one of the things one sees much of, frankly), and doing something cool with them.
All of the image sources were taken by myself, or Cheryl with her digital camera: long-exposure shots of cars/buses passing, crusty iron bridge supports...
The image of the model was probably originally taken for Hustler's Taboo magazine, I stole it from Usenet...
And you gotta trust me: before I shrunk this down to a web-friendly size, then compressed it as a .jpg, the title lettering looked great.
