Cryptofa images - favorites

The two images you showed here that are used by Laibach are both from the "Opus Dei"-album.
Most of the artwork is 'borrowed' from earlier propaganda-posters.

Here's a picture of Boyd Rice at Hitlers Eagles nest in Berchtesgaden, Deutschland. Der Kehlstein Haus, to be exact.






A Boyd Rice logo used for NON. He explains:
His frustration is typified by the misinterpretation of the image he uses as NON's logo, an ancient symbol known as a Wolf's Angle (pictured right), which the unaware have associated with Nazism, even going so far as to misinterpret it as a swastika (a symbol that is believed to have originated in ancient Troy or what is now Turkey, pre-dating its appropriation by the Nazis by about 3,000 years).

"[The Wolf's Angle] dates back to the oldest alphabet of runes," he explains. "When the second alphabet of runes came around, that symbol wasn't even a part of it. That symbol is ancient and has existed for centuries and has always had the same meaning. And it was used by some extremist group in Germany in the 1500s, then it was used briefly by the Nazis at the end of World War II. The meaning I'm attributing to it has more to do with hermetic gnosticism [a pagan belief system dating back at least as far as 500 A.D., rooted in the texts on the Egyptian god Thoth] than totalitarianism."

I've always loved Death in June's imagery.

In fact, I made myself a t-shirt:

My absolute favorite:
Death In June - Sundogs Maxi

As far as CD artwork and such are concerned, it came to my mind that last time I went to see Cult of Luna in concert, back in 2004, they were dressed in very tight uniforms, wearing an armband with this symbol:



This symbol has nothing to do with nazism, but they way they wore it made it look kind of weird, with all the uniform and whatnot!

Sort of a kick ;)
This one is especially for Gorebatjov...

Although the artists who create for unpopart are pretty obvious (Boyd Rice's "Love" painting included") I'm very much fond of Charles Krafft's work there.

here are some fine examples of his work from the unpop site:









and while I'm at it, this artwork by Shaun Partridge is GENIUS:

My favorite to shock people:

Haha the last one, with the black/red star and the white-power symbol, if you got THAT tattoed on your head, I think it would set you free of getting beat up by Nazi's AND AFA's! They must be stupid enough to only look at 'their own' symbol... :P

NDX: GREAT AVATAR! :p It reminds me of the Laibach gig me and Jester saw in April. Only then with their logo in it ;)

As I said in the shoutbox, shamelessly plaigarized from Laibach ;)

The holy Handgranade and the holy Panzerfaust ;-) Great idea.
