I like all the artwork of Mattias Norén (like the Cloudscape and Mike Pinnella cover) anyway.

I like his work too. But its all starting to look the same to me. He should really look into some new themes.

Thank Ptah you were joking. That album cover would've been perfect, had Metallica not put anything on the front. Especially that stupid snake!!!!

LOL yeah it probably would be much better without the snake (and the logo).

Just... plain.
Actually, I like the simplicity most of the time. Less says more after all .


You're right Beezlebub, the Devin Townsend one does also remind me of Dream Theater's Octavarium. It's looking fine.

Hmmm I guess I'm not 100% with you there.

If you look at Evergrey's Recreation Day and Arjen Lucassen's Star One they both are very different. Simply because the first artwork is a photomanipulation and the second artwork is digital art.

Anyway, I do appreciate your opinion non the less . I really don't like Remedy Lane by Pain of Salvation for instance...

Norien is good, but I think he's starting to become a bit overused...

My favorite cover artist is travis smith:

just to showcase a few...

You also gotta love the old 80s thrash metal album covers:

 

[Horus]

Demons and Wizards!!! How could I forget!?!?!?!?!

I love that cover, it's also one of my favorite albums of all time.

 

[Phanto]

 

[Xymphony]

Symphony X - V is the most beautiful cover i have ever seen.

Hell Yes!!

And these are others that first come to my mind...

 

[Lord_Tarod]

Amazing. Reminds me of "Las Lanzas" (or "La Rendición de Breda") by the spanish painter Velázquez.

Saludos.

[EDIT] oopsss I meant... Greetings LoL
