Album Cover Analysis #2

Metallica are famous for not only their music but also for their album work, the font for Metallica has become very unique and famous, which will make it easier for customers to know who the band is and also in the imposing font also gives a clue to the genre of music that the band are into. The large hands in the corner holding the strings to the crosses represents a higher source, this will relate to religious meaning and the large number of crosses with the helmet on the side on a cross is a representation of the many grave stones of the world war two. This album has both religious and historic meaning. The title ‘Master of Puppets’ will relate to the meaning that we are being controlled by someone higher than us, this could mean through god or even down to everyday life such as laws and rules. The colour in the background near the horizon of the picture is a red almost orange which has a number of different meanings such as blood and passion or danger. The grass on the ground has a lack of green colour which would mean that the grass is dying or died which reiterates the many lives lost in world war two.
