Best Album cover Art

[chemicalburn]

This may have been done before, but what is everyone's favorite Album art?
Some super cool ones I like are:

Any GWAR album
Entombed-Wolverine Blues...ya know it looks like a bunch of random embossed splotches, then you pull it away and you see a corpse looking at you, Totally sweet.
and Skinless-Foreshadowing Our Demise...I mean, what the hell is that thing.



Anyhow, your thoughts.

The best black metal cover ever is Darkthrone's Transylvanian Hunger and also A Blaze In The Northern Sky

 

[The old Swede]

Katatonia - Viva Emptiness
Opeth - Deliverance
Paradise Lost - Symbol of Life (the one in my avatar)

and probably some more I can´t think of...

 

[_The_Faceless_Sinner_]

opeth - still life

 

[Henrik Main]

Borknagar's "Quintessence" and "Empiricism" are pretty slick.

 

[None_So_Vile]

Novembers Doom - To Welcome The Fade
The Duskfall - Frailty
Katatonia - Pretty much all of their albums
Opeth - Still Life
The Haunted - Made Me Do It
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
Forest Stream - Tears of Mortal Solitude
Soilwork - A Predator's Portrait

All ones that i like

I really don't think the obivously photoshop made cover art are so great. They look cool, but everyone got them... I think the ones with "real" art and magic pictures are the best...

like Anathema - The Silent Enigma

most goregrind album covers are also great in a extreme funny way. almost all Cannibal Corpse covers are hilarous!

 

[Rottuated]

Opeth - Still Life
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Death - The Sound of Perseverance
Cryptopsy - ...And Then You'll Beg
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Moonspell - Darkness And Hope
Sonata Arctica - Winterheart's Guild

 

[Ravnanger]

[Dreamer Deceiver]

Iron Maiden - Killers, Powerslave
Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny, Screaming for Vengeance
Blind Guardian - Imaginations from the Otherside
Opeth - Morningrise, Blackwater Park
Death - Sound of Perseverance
Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane

 

[Phrozenspite]

Any of the albums done by that guy who did Dissection's Storm of the Lights Bane... I think his name is Necrolord or something?
