Andres Serrano's works for Metallica album covers

The cover of the album is original artwork entitled "Semen and Blood III." It is one of three photographic studies by Andres Serrano created in 1990 by mingling the artist's own semen and bovine blood between two sheets of Plexiglas.

The cover of the album is original artwork depicting urine and blood. It is one of three photographic studies by Andres Serrano created in 1990 by mingling the artist's own urine and bovine blood between two sheets of Plexiglas. Concerning the two albums and the criticism about the change of Metallica's music, I think that they tried to explore their style to other genres. The result was very good in my opinion. Bad was their celebrity arrogance, and their anethical attacks to music file sharing sites.
