Non-metal things that look metal to you

[Omni]

Does anyone else ever see things that resemble metal album covers? Especially things that have nothing to do with music at all.



This beer label always makes me think of some kind of dark, somber doom metal release. Even the name of the beer fits.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

That's a cool beer label

usually movie posters

Old Magic: The Gathering cards do this all the time, alot of the card art would fit perfectly on some 80s metal album with LOTR-lyrics. There are too many to show but this is a classic:


Also Mignola sometimes has this doomdeath feel in his Hellboy art, like this for example:

 

[Slayed Necros]

This makes me think of a band like Brocas Helm.

[Master_Yoda77]

Not sure if Manowar artwork or not.

 

[Slayed Necros]

 

[The Butt]

Already more metal than Eluveitie. Not even joking.

More things, alot of those are already rightfully recognized as metal by alot of bands (alot of pictures).

Some art:

Midvinterblot by Carl Larsson:


Asgårdsreien by Peter Nicolai Arbo:


Tors strid med jättarna by Mårten Eskil Winge:


Sorgen by Theodor Kittelsen:


Seventh Seal by Ingmar Bergman has to be one of the most sampled movies in (extreme) metal, the Flagellants are probably one of the most doom metal things outside of doom metal:


Games Workshop is just like Magic the Gathering an endless source of badass metal artwork, for example:

 

[Slayed Necros]

I love the full version of the Realm of Chaos art. So cool.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Wait...

Seen this?

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah, I knew that Minas Morgul artwork came from something.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Goats

So, I'm bored at work so I guess I'll spam this thread abit more!

Some buildings that maybe not directly look like album covers, but are very metal looking generally.

The Sedlec Ossuary in the Czech Republic:



The railway station in Vännas in Sweden, notice the vikingesque dragons on the roof!

 

[Master_Yoda77]
