"Encore" is the fifth studio album released by mainstream US rapper, Eminem. The cover starts with the name across the top, with a backwards E starting off the word, which is something that Eminem does with his own name, the first E is always backwards on his artwork. Eminem is in the centre of the album, the focal point, and it is just him bowing. This ties in with the album title, as it looks like the end of his performance, known as the encore.
This was also representative of the rumour (or fact) that Marshall Mathers planned this to be his last album with his alter ego (Eminem). If you listen to the album, you'd notice it was made to be seem like it was a live performance, with simulated audience applause and chants at times.
"The End of Heartache" is the third album released by American rock band Killswitch Engage. The image shows bright red hands clutching a stone shaped like a loveheart, which is grey, and 'stabbed' by around 40 needles. This ties into the title of the album perfectly, as the heart has turned grey, suggesting the love (which is traditionally shown through the colour red) has gone and the pain is over, therefore its the end of heartache.
