Favorite album cover art

[MrTagoMago]

Probably a cliche choice but just going off covers to metal albums.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Absu - Barathrum V.I.T.R.I.O.L.

I learned of this album from the topic I made for recommendations. I really like this album cover.

That looks like a Gothic / Celtic Lady of Shalott.The John Waterhouse painting and Tennyson poem.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

That's a good comparison. I really like that painting.

That's a good comparison. I really like that painting.

Shakespeare and Art, it is very beautiful. It wasnt Shakespeare that one, but, Art and Literature is beautiful.

Then there is this one for Steel Vengeance. I haven't even heard the album but the art rules.

Bal-Sagoth <3

I'm actually not really into the band though.

Lol I thought I was reading the "album currently kicking your ass" thread, oh well, you should be into Bal-Sagoth, great stuff!

That Steel Vengeance art rules. Judging by the style and the fact that Black Dragon released all three, I'm going to guess the same artist did these two:

I've tried a bunch of times in the past, but I just can't seem to get over the vocal styles.

From nice painted art to Bood (the computer game). I wonder how the thought process went when they decided that it was a good idea to change that?

Love Black Dragon btw. Considering collecting most vinyls they've released. That Exxplorer album kind of promises more than it deliver though, with the awsome artwork.

That's one of the worst reissue album covers that I've ever seen.
