Opeth- Morningrise Of course, this is just pure beauty, I would love to visit whatever this is!!!

Ulver- Bergtatt this cd has not only a really nice painting on the front but the booklet has some wonderful photos as well.

Summoning- Stronghold Awesome Castle painting on the cover! Also some nice Forest paintings on the inside.

Limbonic Art- All of their albums have awesome covers. I believe it is Morfeus from the band that does the covers, as well as some other artwork for other bands, great stuff.

Fatal Embrace- Shadow Souls Garden Wonderful!!!!

Tartaros- The Grand Psychotic Castle Cool Castle Painting

Cradle Of Filth- Dusk and Her Embrace I especailly like the photos inside the booklet of the Graveyards and other areas, nice tint of green there.


Genesis- Wind and Wuthering Seems like it set a base for many metal album covers.....

Cover and whole inlay of RADIOHEAD "AMNESIAC" are great and mesmerising. Just listen to "Pyramid song" and look at the inlay, such a depression and imminence of bad things coming!!

 

[metalsavior16]

Cause of Death is up there, I also have a special place for Forbidden Evil

 

[discouraged1]

hey Lacuna Coil fans(and Christina Scabbia slobbers, like me ), could you tell me what is that thing on Unleashed Memories cover?
thanx

 

[White man]

My favourite cover arts:

Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time (because of the HUGE number of details)
Iron Maiden - Live After Death
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Stratovarius - Visions
Gamma Ray - No World Order

 

[Klaha]

Well definitely COF - "Dusk and her Embrace"

And I also rather like Opeth - "Orchid"

Simple and elegant. Like me ^_^

I agree with you! Radiohead is an another depressive band like katatonia (hmm music is very different but....)
Portishead is perfect too!

Do you know, that Sepultura wanted to do this cover the cover of "Arise"? But they changed their mind.

 

[Mayh]

All of the Opeth albums have great covers, I like Blackwater Park the most but Still life follows closely, also Deicide´s Once upon the cross is pretty cool.

 

[Anthony]

Yeah, idea with blood on white is cool(inside is shit!)!

 

[machine6]

Slayer: Hell Awaits
Man, that cover was truly shocking back in the day.
Iron Maiden: Number of the Beast
Tool: Lateralus

 

[ruinandmisery]

Lilitu: Memorial / www.lilitu.cjb.net / Artist: Daniel Long www.novembre.ws

And anything by Travis Smith, Terria rules!!

 

[NastyJoan]

Autopsy - Mental Funeral is a cover that really gave me nightmares once I recovered from the shock (I was like 12 years old) my only dream was to have that goddamn t-shirt but it never reached Chilean shores

Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time (How much details it has?)

Nile - Black Seeds of Vengeance (if you think that Wes Benscoter best artwork was Slayer' Live Intrusion you better check this out)

Savatage - Dead Winter Dead (Sin Palabras, I don't know how to say that in english maybe: no comment)

Nuclear Assault - Handle with Care (Just three words over the image of the Planet Earth and all of us inmediately understand the meaning of the cover, great art)

Pungent Stench - Been Caught Buttering (that t-shirt I had, once was black but cares now right?)

Iced Earth - Something Wicked this Way Comes (No comment)

Fear Factory - Demanufacture (Barcode on the spine, good idea also)

Finally the best:
Mercyful Fate - Don't break the oath

You don't need to put 12 demons fighting to freeze someone veins just one coming out of the Flames (In LP size of course) and you got it.

Hey,
I've just got A Fine Day on original CD and the innersleeve is amazing!
Travis Smith's finest in my opinion.
It just brings music to another dimension(sic) and helped me a lot to understand Anathema's little change a bit more.

To me, A Fine Day to Exit is the cover art of 2001.

 

[KRS]

Favourite cover art must be Derrek Riggs work.
Especially Iron Maiden covers.

 

[Gdc]

The new Solefald album "Pills against the Ageless Ills", has a great design!
And the album "The Last Grief" from Tristitia is also very nice!
