Killing Puritans is the 4th studio album by Armand van Helden. It was released as CD and as quadruple vinyl.

Controversy

Its cover art prominently featured an African child soldier, prone, and aiming a rifle. The image was controversial enough to prompt calls for a ban. Eventually, UK versions of the album were sold in a plain brown cardboard sleeve that concealed the offending image.[citation needed]
