Fuck, I feel like I'm going to be arrested just for looking at that.

This is one of my favourites (it's an EP cover, but whatever):

Kind of simple, but I like trees.

I like this cover. Who is it?

Jesu - Silver
Fantastic EP as well.

The castle looks a little fake though.

I've been looking for Hammers of Mayhem forever, how does it compare with Hidden Cruelty? I heard that they changed their style a lot with Hidden Cruelty and the only other album of theirs that I've listened to was the one with a skull on the cover which I thought really sucked. I liked Hidden Cruelty a lot, btw.


Serpent Obscene = win, I like Devastation a lot more than Chaos Reign Supreme but I suppose the cover is a lot better and this is a thread about album covers.

 

[DigToChina]

Oh, and I like these covers a lot, the first is the original and the second is from the album's reissue. It's an avant garde black metash band. Weird covers but I like them, especially the first one.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Wow, that might be one of the first times I've seen a reissue with completely different art AND a ton of artistic merit instead of just changing the color of something or completely ruining the aesthetic.

Full on, how the hell did they get away with that?

 

[Vilden]

Old dead trees FTW every time!

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Sorry for not posting pics but any of Akercocke's first three album covers.

Rape of the Bastard Nazarene, Goat of Mendes or Choronzon.

Tits and Goats or Arses and Demons.

 

[Alter]

Jesu has a amazing visual direction.

 

[NinjaGeek]

Full on, how the hell did they get away with that?

It got changed.

Wow, that might be one of the first times I've seen a reissue with completely different art AND a ton of artistic merit instead of just changing the color of something or completely ruining the aesthetic.

True, but it's still way overstated compared to the original.

Undoubtedly:

Or any by Cannibal Corspe. The artwork is always fucking awesome.
