Iconic, killer opening riff, which I’m sure you must’ve heard before. Totally underappreciated debut.
Then why does it not make any sense? The steel is sparkle clean, there’s black liquid flying, the first is coming from a weird angle, is there a set of lips in the hand but also an upper lip below the nose?
The name of the album is “Fistful of Metal”. It is, assuming this would be possible, depicting someone punching (likely from the back of the neck upwards, explaining the angle) through the opening of the person’s mouth. The black liquid is red, may just be poor image quality, which is blood. The artist is by no means a perfect artist, I’ll give you that. As to why the metal is clean, it is just a silly cliche in old-school metal music to show gleaming steel/chrome etc.
The fist looks like it’s coming through the guys cheek though, drawing is tough but if this wasn’t AI you would think the artist would have thought to themselves ‘Gosh people will be looking at this in 40 years, better have another go before I start adding colour’

This artist also did the next three album covers for Anthrax, though not as bloody or awkward.
AI art has come a long way huh.
You do realise this was released in 1984, right?
Woah they had AI art back then?
It’s not AI art.
