I’d honestly never heard any of these before, but I do have to say I’m impressed concerned by how violent some of them can be. Take for intstance the following, from the Algerian anthem:

We swear by the lightning that destroys, By the streams of generous blood being shed

When we spoke, none listened to us, So we have taken the noise of gunpowder as our rhythm, And the sound of machine guns as our melody

Hmm.. They take their wars very seriously. Maybe Vietnam’s is a bit more friendly. Let’s see…

Our flag, red with the blood of victory, bears the spirit of the country.

Uhh.. I think I might just reconsider international travel for the rest of my life now. Oh, these and a few others (with hilarious commentary) can be read over at cracked.

In the lead up to Halloween (not that we celebrate it) I present another creepy post. This one’s about disturbing album covers from the past, note that disturbing is a complete understatement on my part as this example will show:

I honestly have nothing to say in regards to the title of that record. You can see all of the creepy covers here, and for a bonus click here to check out hilarious covers (which funnily enough are equally as disturbing).
