It took two hours, a $300 studio bill, and a Boris Karloff impression to make a Halloween song that just won’t die. From Hollywood wannabes to a bubbling beaker of sound effects, The Original Monster Mash rose from the lab in 1962 and never went back in the grave. The album cover? A cartoony graveyard party so cheap it’s scary. Grab a copy and listen along with us.

A psychedelic heart shaped like Africa, stitched together from five fractured faces, became the symbol of a 60s album that may have inadvertently launched the Doors. Forever Changes was Love at their breaking point—poetry tangled with paranoia, unity drawn from disarray, and a title that promised everything and nothing at once.

What do a Russian mystic, astral travel, and a teenage tragedy have in common? Mastodon’s Crack the Skye. Behind the energy-enfused face of Rasputin on the cover is a story of grief, transcendence, and cosmic odyssey — a record that cracked open the sky itself. Artist Paul Romano turned the band’s most personal album into a surreal relic, equal parts Orthodox icon and psychedelic vision. Grab a copy and listen along with us.
