#Pyromania40 Facts for 40 Years! | "What's the story behind Pyromania's album cover art?"
Artist Andie Airfix was tasked with creating an album cover that redefined the image of heavy rock. Airfix said he tried to envisage a shocking image that "would constitute an attack on our materialistic world...An attack on a skyscraper was what I came up with. The ‘sight,’ aimed at the building, emphasized the attack was a deliberate action...It’s weird looking at the cover now, in the context of 9/11, but even without that context, it remains a powerful image that is both subversive and terrifyingly aggressive.
