Album cover of Así No Se Puede Muchaches by ROMPERAYO, illustrated by Mateo Rivano, depicts a chaotic medieval battle rendered in a grotesque, cartoonish style. A headless knight on horseback, adorned with gold chains and a rainbow plume, tramples fallen soldiers in a blood-soaked field — symbolizing absurd violence and systemic collapse. The title banner (“Thus It Cannot Be, Fellows”) echoes collective frustration. Smoke, severed limbs, and discarded modern items (cigarettes, cans) blend eras, critiquing cyclical chaos in Latin American socio-political life. Produced by Pedro Ojeda, the album’s cumbia-psych fusion mirrors the cover’s anarchic energy — tradition smashed by surreal rebellion.
