[Omni]

What was your favorite album art from 2017? These are my favorites.



Krolok - Flying Above Ancient Ruins



Malokarpatan - Nordkarpatenland



Horns & Hooves - Morbid Lust

 

[Draehl]

The Ruins of Beverast - Exuvia (aoty for me musically, also)

Dvne - Asheran (Mellow stoner with a slight Mastodon feel)

Electric Moon - Stardust Rituals. Not quite metal, but a great stoner/space/psych rock album.

I love that the song titles connect to different aspects of the cover.

Yeah, this one is good. I haven't heard the album.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Haven't listened to it, but

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Haven't heard any of these albums but I like these covers you guys are posting. Especially the Krolok, Horns & Hooves, Roadrash, Bell Witch, Weregoat, Possession and Memoriam ones.

You should definitely listen to the three that I posted and let me know your thoughts.

Oh, and I love Paolo Girardi and we're Facebook friends, but he is on so many albums these days that his art style is becoming less interesting due to market saturation. I almost wish that he'd take less commissions because his art might continue to stand out more.

 

[CiG]

I agree he's starting to suffer from Repka-syndrome, though I think Behind the Demon's Eyes is a stand-out.

 

[Krow]

Ruby the Hatchet - Planetary Space Child

Mausoleum Gate - Into a Dark Divinity


Cormorant - Diaspora


Gwar - Blood of the Gods

 

[CiG]

Big fan of the Cormorant art.

 

[Vilden]

Of the ones posted so far, I like that Artificial Brain one the most. Never heard it and probably wont like it going by M-A, but the cover is really nice.

 

[AllShallFall]

 

[Burkhard]

There can only be one:

I know, it's just a revamped version of the cover of the studio album, but I like it even slightly better and it's also one of my overall favourite album covers.
