Post your 5 favorite album covers

[Chopstick up the Peehole]

Yes, I thought those were most captivating.
Queer.

 

[Flaming Death]

Why do you say queer?

i believe chopstick up the peehole is far more queer than those album covers.

That is what's wrong with this board and this community. A person cant do anything without somebody else throwing in a "queer" for no reason.

just post your favorite album covers. the thread isnt judge everyone else's favorite covers.

i know my post doesnt contain my list of covers but i got distracted by the senseless remark.

Why do you say queer?

DiscipleOfPlato:
"I was captivated by the following cover-art"

"I apologize for the striking enormity of the images..."


Who the fuck actually talks like that?

Going on the language used by this person and the album covers they posted, they sound to me like some wannabe art-fag elitist unnecessarily using fancy words to try and sound like some kind of genius.
Thus: QUEER!

 

[Hammer of Might]

So you call him a homosexual due to his superior use of the English language. If anyone is the complete fag, it is you.

Anyway, that Decrepit Birth one (...and time begins) is fucking amazing! If you go on to the artist's site and pull that image up you can examine it by zooming in, and the detail is staggering! I love all the faces and hands in the swirling vortex.

He is the man when it comes to Death Metal covers.

BTW I checked out In-Quest after I saw you post about them and they are fucking good. I only managed to find Epileptic, but I want to hear their old stuff too.

Initially, I was a bit reluctant to reply to this moron because his inane prattle failed to possess the slightest shred of offense to me, in fact, it was actually rather amusing, but then I realized that a considerable portion of my time here is squandered effortlessly thwarting imbeciles anyway.

For your wasted convenience, I'll try to articulate this as simply as possible.

What was it about the word "captivated" that baffled you and had you frantically fumbling for your dictionary so that you can conjure up a cunning response in a brief matter of time? And "enormity?" I would like to consider myself to be a universally-comprehensible speaker, or maybe it's just that I would like to assume that everyone I communicate with isn't a complete douchebag like yourself. The english language is a beautiful and complex medium for self-expression, capable of exhibiting the most acute emotions and reactions, hence I prefer to excercise my vocabulary as often as possible and avoid butchering it with mis-spellings and grammatical errors. However, I suppose I'll make an exception for you, since I wouldn't want to perturb anyone with my "superior articulation."

The following is a concise translation of the above paragraph, converted to idiotic internet-jargon for the linguistically-impaired:
Fuk u dud3, ill talk like myself fo life, TR00000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111

There, was that better, you flagrant retard?

*stunned*

I didn't know people as gay as this actually existed.


You are by far the snobbiest, most pretentious elitist I've ever encountered.

Congratulations on writing the most self-glorifying, pompous piece of egotistic crap I've ever read. I'm sure everyone here was blown away by your skills in the English language....

Fuck off and get stabbed.

 

[Chopstick up the Peehole]

So you call him a homosexual due to his superior use of the English language. If anyone is the complete fag, it is you.

Are you a hippy or something?
In case you haven't noticed, the words gay, queer, homo, fag etc... have become commonly used insults over the last 5 or so years, and don't always directly refer to homosexuality. Way to be unobservant, dickhead. I wasn't calling the person a homosexual, I was calling what they wrote, queer. Because it was queer. Very queer.

Maybe it's different where you're from but in Australia we don't always strive to be PC emo sissies like a lot of the people on this board.

Fucking hell dude, that's just the way DoP talks. He's an alright guy, why you gotta get so damn aggressive over someone's natural choice of vocabulary?

As for Dan Seagrave; that Decrepit Birth cover is stunning. It's beautiful. I don't think he's actually that wonderful of an artist for DM; I admit he has a lot of talent but most of his covers I find just...aren't...very interesting..? The only DS covers I like are Stillborn (Malevolent Creation), Gateways To Annihilation and that Decrepit Birth one (which I think is by far his best to date!). Meh, I just don't see the fuss over him really.

 

[Chopstick up the Peehole]

Fucking hell dude, that's just the way DoP talks. He's an alright guy, why you gotta get so damn aggressive over someone's natural choice of vocabulary?

Because I don't think it is natural. I think it's completely unnecessary, pompous and fake and he's trying too hard to sound smart.
You reckon he actually talks to people like that in real life?

 

[Chopstick up the Peehole]

oh, and because I hate elitists and people who think they're superior to others.

 

[SculptedCold]

Yeah, a lot of people talk like that in real life. It's an interesting dichotomy though; many people consider (even if it be unconsciously) the internet more of a formal stage for interpersonal discussion. It goes both ways; some people feel the internet is informal because of the anonymity, while others approach the situation as one approaches strangers; with formality. Natural, informal language between two people in 'real life' doesn't neccessarily have to be translated to the internet at all; the two are sociologically extremely different. Not only that, but well-read people tend to approach the written word and the spoken word differently. Even people who talk socially in what you may consider a very natural or informal way often write in quite a high standard of english unconsciously. It's simply a side effect of being well-read, and while there are certainly people who would write/talk in such a way as to establish a false-pretense, i'd expect such people really are few and far between, on the internet or not. For you to take such issue with a couple words which were almost certainly used in an unconscious manner is, in my view, pretty idiotic.

 

[Chopstick up the Peehole]

Man, you people are no fun at all. Someone deservingly gets flamed and you all jump in to help them out like you're all best buddies or something. I'm beginning to think this whole board's a little....."queer"....

I agree with a lot of what you said Sculpted, but that doesn't change the fact that the long ramble posted by DoP was extremely condescending and blatantly egotistical. If you can't see this, you're stupid or dyslexic.

My opinion will remain, however, that DoP is trying way too hard to sound clever, thinks he's somehow more important than everyone else and is just another elitist wanker who I hope gets AIDS from a leather-clad Rob Halford wannabe at the next Judas Priest concert.

 

[SculptedCold]

His reply certainly was condescending, but when someone gets attacked and insulted over something so trivial, I don't really understand what you'd expect.

It's like going-up to a bouncer and saying 'I don't like you, you think you're some hardassed tough guy, but you're just a retard', punching him, getting your ass kicked for it, and then crying-out about it afterwards.
