CD Shark Attack illustrated cover Swim At Own Risk punk rock
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This CD features a striking cover characteristic of punk rock and hardcore productions. The sleeve sports a black and white illustration with a comic book aesthetic and a highly expressive graphic style: it depicts a macabre-looking woman in a bikini, lying on the beach, partly devoured, staging a shark attack. The scene is accentuated by a sign displaying the text "SWIM AT OWN RISK," while the title "SHARK ATTACK" is written in large, scratched-effect red letters that stand out strongly against the monochrome background.
The highly detailed drawing evokes the underground world and visual references of the 80s-90s, with an atmosphere oscillating between horror and graphic satire. The overall effect uses strong contrasts and hatching to reinforce the dramatic tension of the scene. The logo of the band or project is not visible on this side; the main graphic elements remain the title and the striking illustration.
The CD itself is not visible in the photo, but the presence of this cardboard sleeve suggests a compact disc inside (not confirmed without a visual of the CD). No additional details on tracks or the record label are legible on this side.
The cover appears to be in good overall condition, with no visible tears or major creases. The corners are slightly marked, but the graphic print remains clear and unaltered. The overall impression suggests an independent or underground release, typical of alternative punk, hardcore, or metal productions.
Condition
Used item sold as is. The overall condition of the sleeve is consistent with use, with slight handling marks visible on the edges.
Did you know? The visual "Swim at own risk" refers to common signage on Anglo-Saxon beaches, often reappropriated in punk and alternative culture to denounce social or environmental dangers. Hand-illustrated covers are a strong marker of DIY (Do It Yourself) movements in independent music since the 1980s.
