With an album title like Erection Body Mutilated (Back From the Dead), who else can you count on but death metal frontman and sicko artist Mike Hrubovcac to pen art work that's repulsively appropriate? The cover rendering in question was commissioned by French hardcore industrial group Obszon Geschopf and features two mutilated corpses laying under sheets on autopsy tables in the morgue. We'll let Hrubovcac explain the rest:
Obszon Geschopf frontman Remzi Kelleci wanted something along the lines of cover art I had done for Guttural Secrete and Mortician. Apparently, he's a big fan of gore, death-metal and zombies. For distribution reasons, though, the label wanted to keep it dark and creepy without being overly graphic or gory. They didn't want to run into any the same kind of censorship problems as a lot of the bands that have commissioned me for gory artwork. (click "more" to read more commentary and see the gory art).
I tried to keep this cover sick and morbid without being overly graphic. The main corpse in the front is awakening from the dead with a super hard-on underneath the morgue sheet. I even put a bit of pre-cum dribbles that leaked onto the sheet, as if he's awakening from his wet dream of death, with the girl corpse in the background awakening all horny as well.
Sensing that there's a dead c--k waiting for her, she struggles to reach up and seek it out. I put some blood on her sheet around her crotch to show that maybe she's been molested or messed with down there, which is why her crotch is all bleeding... Possibly from the psychotic Mortician.
This album will be a double-disc CD, and I will also be doing the full packaging art. Remzi's original music comprises disc one, and the second disc features remixes from the likes of Joachim Witt, Cyber Axis, Out Out, and many other shocking industrial bands.
Some song titles include "My First Piece of Meat," "Bloodfeast," "Goresex", "John Wayne Gacy" and "The Love Butcher." BLC Productions is planning to have this out, released, on the street and tearing the walls down by the end of the year.
