As a self-professed metalhead, I have to admit that even I find these album covers with googly eyes to be pretty funny.
Yes, metal is usually supposed to be pretty evil and it is supposed to make people uncomfortable…but do we need to be so serious all the time?
Heck no!
You can still be a headbanger AND have a good sense of humor at the same time!
So let’s check out these heavy metal albums that have been “defaced” with googly eyes to give them more of a goofy, gentle feel. Enjoy!
1. Children of Sodom.
Just not as creepy as it used to be.
