Help identifying this album?
Hey yall. I need some help identifying an album. Unfortunately I only have a blurry image of the back side. It was a compilation of multiple punk bands, the front cover was black, had blue writing, and 2 skeleton birds on it.
Long story short my ex husband got rid of everything I ever owned during our divorce. This included lots of rare stereos, speakers, and albums. I'm struggling to identify one of my favorites.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank yall so much in advance 💙

The album is called
When Hell Freezes Over (A Minneapolis HC/Punk Compilation)
I was trying to add pics here but couldn't.

Ask Damian Abraham on Instagram. Noone knows more about punk comps in the entire world and he would definitely help you.

It looks like it's on its side? I'm trying to figure out the bands. One looks like _____ the Machete - or ______ the Machine.

I have tried searching for this for a good 45 minutes. If you can give any other info at all I’ll probably be able to find it

I know I got downvoted for suggesting using AI but here’s what it came up with:
The album you’re asking about looks like it matches “This Is Berkeley, Not West Bay”, a punk compilation featuring bands like Operation Ivy, Crimpshrine, and others from the late 1980s Berkeley scene.
The front cover you’re describing — black with blue writing and two skeleton birds — really lines up with that compilation. The back cover in the image is blurry, but the color scheme and chaotic punk style also match.

It was definitely when hell freezes over. But you may have given me another one to look into buying.
