==Artwork and packaging== The album cover features artwork by Glenn Danzig. Glenn Danzig has referred to the symbols on the album cover as "Vehmic runes" that spell out "Danzig".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.the7thhouse.com/news/Articles/d6_twec.htm|title=Glenn Danzig chat|date=January 27, 2000|publisher=TWEC.com|access-date=December 23, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716220649/http://www.the7thhouse.com/news/Articles/d6_twec.htm|archive-date=July 16, 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref> They were taken from the alphabet of a secret tribunal group from Medieval Germany called the [[Vehmic court|Vehmgericht]]. The liner notes contain a panoramic picture of the four band members in propped up coffins, flanked by [[United States Secret Service|Secret Service]] men, as a [[Bill Clinton]] impersonator shakes hands with a police officer wielding a shotgun.<ref name="Guitar">{{cite web|url=http://www.misfitscentral.com/display.php?t=darticle&f=guitfpm.94|title=48 Hours in the Life of Danzig's John Christ|last=Christ|first=John|date=October 1994|publisher=[[Guitar for the Practicing Musician]]|access-date=April 22, 2011}}</ref> The photo is reminiscent of a 19th-century photograph of dead outlaws on display.<ref name="Guitar" /> Glenn Danzig would later reveal that the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] considered him a threat to Clinton, the American President at the time of the album release.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://rockdirt.com/was-glenn-danzig-deemed-by-fbi-a-threat-to-clinton/12500/|title=Was Glenn Danzig Deemed by FBI a Threat to Clinton?|date=February 19, 2005|publisher=RockDirt.com|access-date=March 18, 2010}}</ref> The liner notes also include a [[Yin and yang|yin yang]] symbol incorporating the Danzig skull, by artist [[Michael William Kaluta]]. The first pressings of the album were sold in a distinctive cardboard sleeve, which Glenn Danzig claimed was more like that of an old-fashioned [[LP album|LP]] and more environmentally-friendly than the common plastic CD [[jewel case]]. Since this initial release of the album, its cardboard packaging has been replaced by the jewel case. Like Danzig's previous three albums, ''Danzig 4'' has been labeled with a [[Parental Advisory]] (originally in the form of a sticker until the repackaging in the jewel case) since its initial pressings, despite the absence of common profanity.
