That's just my humble opinion but I always thought that Slayer were one of the if not THE band with the worst cover arts ever. Good choice with Morbid Angel and Obituary though.

Yeah I agree, I think Slayer's covers looked like they were drawn by kids in primary school!
:D :D :D LOL Yeah, you're damn right. I always feel like I can almost sense how hard the artist tried to make those drawings look arty-crafty. But he failed miserably! All he managed to do are covers for wannabe shocking teenagers. You know, the stuff to make your parents freak about. Just think of South Of Heaven!
 
Yep totally! Hahaha! :lol: :lol: They have the dodgiest looking demons & monsters & corpses or whatever they are meant to be! And the pictures as a whole look all wonky and crooked and rushed like one of the band members whipped it up when he was drunk or a kid drew a scary picture on the back of a text book when he was bored in class, instead of getting an actual artist to do the covers.

Absolutely! And that wasn't even necessary. If they had wanted to have a scary looking cover they should have put on an old photo of the band where they used to wear eye shadow, hahahaha. :loco:
 
:lol:
If you think about it, 90% of those old 80's underground metal albums had covers that looked like they were drawn by "kids in primary school". :) But I must admit, as cheesy as they are I love 'em!!!
 
Flotsam's Doomday cover is the worst..... It looked one of the band members drew it and no one wanted to hurt his feelings by telling him it sucked! :lol:
 
Are you sure about that?
