Please get rid of this gore album cover

Hello!

I'm writing this to try to spread awareness in hopes Spotify either removes or makes the artist change their album cover. The artist Pissgrave has two album covers that are rather macabre, and on top of it, they're real. So you don't have to see them: one is of bones and brown substance in a bathtub and the other is a close-up image of someone's face after being shot with a shotgun. The second one is far worse and I wasn't expecting something like that. I'm hoping that this post gets some traction because I don't want anyone to stumble across these album covers without warning as I did. PLEASE remove at least the second one.

Hey @Absorbed_Sponge 

 

This seems to be another goregrind band with high attention on things that are deeply disturbing.
You can report the cover image in the Spotify app by tapping three dots next to the artist name and selecting Report. Fill in the form and send it.

Have a lovely day!

No I like them

Pissgrave is a death metal band, of course they will have shocking album covers. Also, Pissgrave doesn't need to bother making censored album covers when they can keep making some old school-influenced bangers?

Bro, they’re goregrind/grindcore bands. Their album covers are gone be over-the-top. If you dont like it, boycott it. Don’t look at it, dont listen to the music. Stop trying to get their music taken down and their album covers changed/removed just because YOU, one person, dont like it. This is giving weenie hut jr. energy. 

 

Weird take, I feel. It's not so easy to boycott when the gore is randomly shown to you in things like recommended or song/album radios. I was listening to some noise wall when a gorey grind album cover came up on my queue, ethics aside to artists choosing awful images of people who clearly could not have consented, there should be a way for the algorithm to detect super gorey and distressing covers and allow users to be able to turn on a safety setting to avoid being presented these covers.
