Err, I have no doubts on the veracity of research here, but the cover is either entirely fabricated or has been vectorized in Illustrator. I bought the LP because it's a great record and the fullsize art makes this READILY apparent – like we're talking that 'globs of transparency' look you get from digital painting (and, as said, loading a photo into Illustrator). Also possible it was Illustrator-ized just to get it blown up to the size of a vinyl sleeve, I guess.
If it was just a crime scene photo painted over, it's not like it's magically better, though.
So where does this outrage fit in with the long string of crime scene photos used for metal album covers? Because I have never seen anyone even slightly propose the cover of Dawn of the Black Hearts is... anything, really. People don't fucking talk about it.
