Cover art for Requiem lyrics by Killing Joke

Apocalyptic stuff. Reminds me a bit of the BBC Drama "Threads" (the most disturbing thing ever made, some say) - this was earlier, mind you.

Considering this album came out as Britain went into particularly dark times (Thatcherism just around the corner) its quite paranoid and sounds like everything has broken down.
