Yeah, good luck finding the album in full, but if you're committed to doing so, you will. They should really just put the whole damn thing on a Bandcamp or something, but I assure you, the rest is just as good as those two tracks.

Its streaming on a Finnish website, if you go to their Facebook page, but my stupid sound cloud won't load all the way, so I can't listen to the full album.

The artwork is quite mysterious in the sense it shows the skull of a person having a third eye on the forehead, or maybe he was shot with a shotgun.

Damn, if you could pull that off with a shotgun and not have your entire skull blown to bits then that would be impressive indeed
To me it looks like it could be the result of trepanning.

Trepanations were usually performed on the top of the skull, not in the forehead. With trepans not wider than a couple of centimetres.
Edit: I do not collect weird obsolete medical knowledge. I just read a book in which people got murdered like that.

That's "medical" trephination as far as I know, but there's other purported uses designed to help access the third eye (as whatshisname already suggested). That would seem to fit the aesthetic of this record (which I very much need to listen to).

Christ I had no idea there was another purpose than the medical one, and certainly didn't imagine there were doctors doing that just thirty years ago. I always thought the third eye thing was metaphorical, not that they actually drilled holes in people's heads to get high. So when I saw the cover I just though "oh cute a third eye for a psychedelic album how cutesy and adorable", not "ew ew ew trepanation". God humans are stupid.
But yeah I should listen to it as well.

It's a bit far really. I guess people have always been doing weird shit to their bodies for spiritual reasons, and you have people getting subdermal implants and other such things for fashion reasons (I guess I technically have a microdermal so I'm not far off). I don't quite get how a 2 - 3 inch diameter hole in your head works though without all the bits falling out, and I could actually find much evidence that it's done in the middle of the forehead, but then I stumbled on this guy (image link at the top), so, yeah...

Discussing the album art and what it may be seems pretty on topic to me especially when it's an interesting subject.

Yeah I've studied body art, body mods (as very influential in art - see ORLAN) and the origins of that it in the tribes in godforsaken places in the Amazon or Africa. I am able to understand and theorise on such procedures because I can distance myself from it. I guess we missed the cutesy trepanation for "alternative" purposes. But my primary reaction - if I am not able to hide it - always was and always will be "ew ew ew".
Thus. I'm not clicking that link.
Yes this is on topic, sorry I am not one to usually contest that, but it's all got to do with the cover.

Ok, well here's my theory. The skull is the band's depiction of a well-documented and well-researched primitive smoking device/sex toy that existed during the Stone Age. You see, the man would stick his bad boy through the third eye hole for pleasure, and then stick his maryjewanna into one of the other eye holes, light it, use the remaining eye hole as a carb, and inhale through the nose. All. At. The. Same. Time.

It's actually not too bad at all. The guy just has a bump in the middle of his forehead but skin has grown over it so it just looks like a round dent. There's a video with him too where he explains he didn't do it himself, but got it when he was attacked by a mugger and goes on to explain he's felt like being a child all over again because of something to do with blood in his brain... something. But yeah, this is offtopic now I will make like a tree and get out of here.

You better. The last thing we want to do is give out fellow guests misinformation with such silly and unfounded theories of "trepanning"
