COOLEST ALBUM COVER(S)?

[Abruptum]

 

[Hammer of Might]

 

[-Demonium-]

 

[Flaming Death]

 

[Impure616]

I think my absolute favorite album cover would have to be Hammerheart, just because A Viking's Last Journey is one of my favorite paintings and I like Frank Dicksee's work.

Have you seen the original one, the one in white, black and red, its fucking sick. Unfortunitly when Germans saw it they went berserk so they had to print it in gold and red.

As for me my favorites are the Dark Fortress covers.

I really like GWAR's violence has arrived album art. it was done by the guys at games workshop and they do amazing work.

 

[OfManAndMetal]

whoa...that is awesome

 

[Cheapliquid]

these are sweet album covers from Rhapsody.

and this one

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Pretty much any album art by Wes Benscotter is sick as fuck.

 

[Graveborn]

as previously mentioned, the Opeth covers are pretty cool... H.R Giger's (i think that's the correct name?) work has some symbolism and meaning... and Children Of Bodom - Follow the Reaper catches my eye a lot, probably because of the colour scheme..

 

[Procella]

Fields Of The Nephilim 'Mourning Sun'

Apoptose 'Nordland'

King Crimson 'In The Court Of The Crimson King'

 

[Poison God Machine]

[Stormwatch]

Scorpions- Breakout

You mean Blackout....:Smug:

I prefer the Lovedrive cover.

Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance
Windir - Likerfd
Opeth - Orchid
