Worst album cover

[Slayed Necros]

That Artillery cover fucking rules.

 

[Blind Guardian]

If the music sounded like Limp Bizkit you sure as hell wouldn't think that. Come on, it's fucking horrendous.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

No, it's pretty awesome, and I don't see how the music would have any bearing on how it looks.

 

[SentinelSlain]

it looks like an old hardcore cover or something

 

[Blind Guardian]

It looks like a 9 year old's lunch break doodlings, a 9 year old without enough colour crayons, who thinks he knows how to draw perspective but fails miserably. My art teacher is turning in his grave.

 

[Slayed Necros]

I'd take it over the vast majority of photoshopped abominations adorning many metal releases any day. It's metal as fuck.

 

[Blind Guardian]

The theme in itself isn't bad, just the execution. I can imagine the band going "what the hell" when they got the finished version back.

 

[SentinelSlain]

To be honest like most of the apparently 'worst of all time' album covers, it's just a decent unrealistic, cartoon like drawing, done in pencil. If it wasn't shaded in with pencil and had been finished off a bit more neatly people would find it acceptable.

Sorry to double post, but I remembered this:

This was the cover for an album by my mate's old band a few years ago

 

[ASD]

Born Again's music and cover kick ass you wetback

It wouldn't be as bad if the background was black, but that random blue is retarded.

 

[Krow]

Weirdest part of this... it's a black metal album.

 

[ASD]

That is a really ugly vagina.

 

[SentinelSlain]

hard to say lol, it's not the saggiest I've seen, that's for sure.

 

[The Butt]

It wouldn't be as bad if the background was black, but that random blue is retarded.

I like how the album cover looks fucking repulsive, art-wise. Fits in with the muddy mix, the dark music, etc.

 

[S<issors]

That is a really ugly vagina.

You think? It looks pretty inoffensive and vaginalike to me

 

[ASD]

The Butt: Actually, I recently read something about the cover, in which I think it was Corpsegrinder, who said that it's his favorite album cover of all time, because it shows the antichrist in a pop-art way. That makes it sound a bit cooler I guess.

S<issors: It could be because a hammer's jammed into it. Also, it just looks like a fake, swollen, thing. The point is, I've seen much more attractive vaginas.

 

[Krow]

It's probably swollen and red because it's taken a thrashing... given that picture is obviously from some porn.

Edit: And because I'm bored...

Atleast it doesnt rape your eyes as hard.

 

[nick-metalhead]

Iron Maiden - Dance Of Death.. I always thought that was one of the worst covers.. pity for such a great band

 

[ASD]

Damn, that seriously looks a lot better. Looks like it could be some raw black thrash or something.
