Album cover

The cover for Sex and Drugs and Jesus Christ is an image of Jesus Christ in a self-made tourniquet, using heroin, an implicit attempt to incite controversy. The cover affected the band, leading to a cancellation of shows in Boston.^[3] It was also censored in NME and Melody Maker magazine, with the NME rating it a 1 out of 10, saying "may the good lord strike them down."^[3] The controversy surrounding the cover art helped make Sex and Drugs and Jesus Christ Christian Death's highest selling album from the 1980s.
