"Slug Bait"'s lyrics and music are far more terrifying then anything Cannibal Corpse or Mayhem or even Macabre could ever hope to put out. Also, as legitimately creepy as "Hamburger Lady" is, "Slug Bait" definitely wins. How you can come up with that and not be just a little bit serial killery I can only speculate.
I'd imagine it was returned to record stores quite regularly by irate jazz funk fans. I think what's creepiest is that the album cover photo, as innocent as it looks, was taken at one of Britain's most notorious suicide hotspots.
