Name this Grotesque surreal album art.

Please help me track down this disturbing vinyl album cover. Reminiscent of a Raphael painting with grotesque deformed dinosaur heads and carnage. (possibly psychedelic rock?)
Last year I was scrounging the bins at a record convention and stumbled upon an equally beautiful and disturbing piece of album art which I have since been unable to track down.
I don't remember the name of the band and it's a shame I never wrote it down, let alone bought the album.
The cover of the album depicts a surrealist rendition of something in the vein of this Raphael:

The main difference is that the heads of people are replaced with deformed dinosaur style heads (I recall at least two pterodactyl style heads) and there is some violence and blood.
I remember there being a woman holding a severely deformed baby with an elongated mouth which curves upward. The colors were very bright in the piece as well.
I have a feeling it might be psychedelic rock (record convention types have a lot of it), but unfortunately I don't remember the name of the band at all.
I would LOVE to find more pieces by the artist of this album cover.

Response by poster: I wish it was, though I probably would have remembered the name. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
I remember the dinosaur-style heads really sticking out, as well as the grotesqueness.

No dinosaurs, but the Bosch painting Garden of Earthly Delights has been used on several album covers and is definitely grotesque and surreal.
