When AOL Latino decided to compile a list of the 'Most Controversial Album Covers' around, the unforgettable image gracing Brujeria's debut, Matando Gueros, was understandably a shoe-in!

Don't remember it?  Then go HERE and click PROXIMO a couple times to be reminded of its horror once again.

Oh, and to stream the album's, ummm, decapitating title track, visit RR.com's Music page, under the Classic Track heading.
