What’s that album that makes you cry every time you listen to it?
For me, it’s Marked for Death by Emma Ruth Rundle.
The cover of Emma Ruth Rundle’s 2016 LP “Marked for Death. A black bar with the singer’s name covers the bottom third of the cover, and the top two thirds is a black-and-white photo of the singer wearing a loose sweatshirt and sitting on a dark stool in front of a white two-door doorway.

Don’t know why it took me so long to finally listen to this album, but it absolutely rips
The album cover of sludge metal (although they try to say they’re grunge) band Thou’s 2024 album Umbilical. The cover art is a black-and-white photo of a child standing against what appears to be a square column, holding a grow bag with two lilies.

It’s a Full of Hell kind of night. (This bit is very shamelessly stolen from @gabino.bsky.social)
The album cover of the album Trumpeting Ecstasy by the grindcore/powerviolence/noise/music-my-grandma-would-have-called-satanic-if-she-was-still-alive band Full of Hell. The black-and-white artwork depicts a nun whose face is completely engulfed in flame.

Bobby gets it
My very large fawn pug Bobby standing between my fridge and the cabinets, staring at the fridge for some reason. Maybe he wants food. Maybe he’s deep in though. Maybe he has no thoughts at all.

Years ago I would cross this bridge—from tie to tie, since it didn’t have the corrugated metal laid across it yet
An abandoned, rusted railroad bridge above a river (about 20 meters below; it can’t be seen in the photo) with corroded pieces of corrugated metal laid between the wooden ties

Creepy and beautiful gnarled tree seeming to lean over an abandoned railroad. The railroad has been turned into a walking path and is walled in on both sides by tall vegetation.
