Life Metal

 

[Belligerent]

You sure that isn't Clay Aikens album cover?

[Nehebkau]

Cover looks pretty damn cheesy. Hope the music is good though

 

[J.]

disney coverart for disney, pro tools metal

fucking funderground

 

[Sky_fire]

Looks like something Nightwish would come up with O_O.

 

[ArneZ]

Gay? Just say it: I dislike the pink!

..or something like that.

Not everything can look like a 90s Cannibal Corpse coverart.

 

[ArneZ]

Has it leaked?

No, not in a million years.

Why would a thread be created just for this? The gods know most people here don't even give a shit.

Looks like someone "gave" a shit.

I honestly wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary, but this is truly the best cover art I've ever seen. I think the pink is appropriate and the artwork makes me even more optimistic that the rumors of Asian influence on this album are true. I will definitely have to buy this album and I would even buy a poster of this cover art if it were available. I can barely even express how excited I've been for this album.

EDIT: This is now my desktop background.

 

[just metal]

its my background as well, people here are so fucking judgmental, just because of the pink color its "gay", i think its just ok, without the pink color it would have been way much better though.

your taste in music sucks, Wintersun FTW.

I would have had the grey/black/white more dominant, and more fully uncolored (no dark blue or green hues), and limited color to a more focused area or object. Like even just make the sky all black/stars with white light shining through, illuminating the tree to color. The color in the sky takes too much of the focus off the tree.

Looks like the poster for the next Narnia movie or something.

Haha fucking true man. I never liked Wintersun anyways. They're kinda a big thing here in Finland but for me they're just another lame flower metal band that this country is full of.

 

[arg]

i like it.

it is pretty fucking epic

 

[mutantllama]

I think it wouldn't be as lame if the sky was more red, and the sky was dark. It just looks too happy for me.

 

[waif]

I definitely see the asian influence there. Tbh I have a number of albums with really shitty art so w/e and wtf is funderground?

I'll hazard a guess: metal that is ostensibly "underground" in that it lacks major label promotion and stuff but has serious funding and production values?
If I'm right, it's a really stupid term that implies a truly moronic viewpoint.

Editml: have you ever heard Wintersun? Not exactly suicidal bm here...

 

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

It's actually impressively shitty, but I still think the first one had the worst cover. So godawful.

[Ross]

I liked the s/t artwork, it fits perfectly with the music itself

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

Ya'll are bizarre..

 

[Vitor]

@Vitor: you can't go wrong with naked chicks.

indeed

 

[BlackMetalWhiteGuy]

I noticed this before as well, but after seeing it on both albums, I think Wintersun also has one of my favorite logos as well. It looks cool, adaquately represents the music and is legible.

I think it wouldn't be as lame if the sky was more red, and the sky was dark. It just looks too happy for me.

I think it looks desolate and lonely, but with a glimpse of hope and inspiration.

Also, in response to this "flower metal" jargon, I actually find this term to be rather appropriate, because the cover reminded me of this picture that I took in my barn about two and a half years ago.
