HR Giger - and his art on record cover

I've always been a fan of HR Giger. In fact, I was a fan before knowing who he was. If you don't know the artist, you might know him through his work with the design of the creatures and movie props of the Aliens movies. He is also known for providing the art on the cover of the Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion and Carcass - Heartwork albums (to only name those).

The art on this cover match perfectly the vibe of the record.

RIP HR Giger - Spinning some Celtic Frost and Triptykon

HR Giger (5 February 1940 - 12 May 2014), probably one of my favourite visual artist of the last 40 years, passed away on . Not only he gave his vision to some my favourite movies of all-time (Alien: which he won an Academy Award for best visual effect), but his art was used on the cover albums of some of my favourite artists.  To remember HR Giger legacy, I'm playing some records that bear his art.  RIP HR Giger.
