Favorite Album Covers?

[M@RS]

Since we've had all of these "favorite musicians" threads. How about the album cover?

Theocracy - Mirror of Souls
Sinbreed - When World's Collide
Divinefire - Into a New Dimension
Becoming the Archetype - The Physics of Fire, Dichotomy
As I Lay Dying - An Ocean Between Us
Adiastasia - Life War (re-issue)
Narnia - Course of a Generation
Seventh Avenue - Southgate, Eternals
Venia - Victory by Surrender
Rob Rock - Eyes of Eternity

Susypre - When Time Fades
Epica - Design Your Universe, The Classical Conspiracy
Nightwish - Tales From the Elvenpath
Avian - Path


That's all I can think of for now.

Rob Rock's "Holy Hell" is a great one.
Symphony X - Paradise Lost
BTA - Physics of Fire
Cage - Hell Destroyer
Deliverance - Weapon's of our Warfare

 

[Rob Taylor]

Dream Theater - Awake, Images & Words, A Change of Seasons
Veni Domine - Material Sanctuary

 

[Arnock]

Mirror of souls' album art is pretty awesome

Aside from that, off the top of my head...

 

[SeaStorm]

Going back a few decades, but these are still two of the best album covers ever, in my book:

 

[Ryan M.]

Here guys:

Led Zeppelin IV

Pink Floyd- The Division Bell

Blind Guardian- At The Edge of Time

Seventh Avenue- Terium

AC/DC- Back In Black

Avantasia- Angel of Babylon

Avantasia- The Scarecrow

Avantasia- The Wicked Symphony

Hammerfall- Steel Meets Steel

Theocracy- Mirror of Souls

Theocracy S/T

Muse- The Resistance

Muse- The Origin of Symetry

Pink Floyd- Dark Side of The Moon

Symphony X- Paradise Lost

 

[SeaStorm]

I don't know if this is cheesy or cool (both?), but either way, it's awesome!

 

[Rawshik]

I am going to enjoy this thread. For the sake of room I'm not going to repeat any covers that have already been put, but the Mirror Of Souls album cover is indeed awesome.

I went ahead and editted my post because of the complaints.

 

[SeaStorm]

A suggestion for everyone: post pictures that are a reasonable size, so we can see them. Some of those are so big, that I essentially can't even see what they are, because they don't fit on one screen (and I have my screen set to max resolution).

If you're using Google Images to find pics, click on Any Size > Exactly and put in an exact size (I like 300 x 300). Because album covers are so numerous on the web, you will find one with your exact specifications.

Thanks!

Oh, and I love BTA's Terminate Damnation cover, too. I was really bummed at their concert for that tour, because they had that on a shirt, but were sold out!

 

[Rawshik]

Honestly I posted them big on purpose because usually when an image is smaller you don't look at the whole picture in detail.

 

[Tom_Bombadil]

I can´t believe there are so many covers mentioned, but there´s not a single one from the (in my opinion) MASTER. There are no Record Covers as genius as the ones from Rodney Matthews. Go have a look on his homepage :

http://www.rodneymatthews.com/recordcovers.htm

One of my favourites is "On a storytellers night" (Magnum), but i also love everything else from him...

Well we sure got it didn't we? Hahaha! Those were like HUGE! I thought mine were big (400 or 500 pixels wide on most)

 

[Snert]

Tom Bombadil is right - Rodney Matthew is (was) missing in this thread.
One of my favorites:

 

[Snert]

Other favorites of mine:

Theocracy - selftitled

and...

 

[M@RS]

Time to bring this thread back. Just some recent covers I thought were pretty amazing.

 

[ty-chan]

Anything by Iced Earth. To be honest, thats why I picked up one of their albums "Something Wicked This Way Comes" in the first place.

 

[Martyr's Crown]

This list came out longer than I expected... Even without repeats.
