Your favourite hand drawn album covers

[Krigloch the Furious]

if only megadeth could write metal that sounded like those covers look.

 

[~Neurotica]

There is an option to chose some ones that will have wallpapers size.

I think Mustaine is talented, and writes good music. Like the artwork in the contest, they just updated Vic....I think Megadeth just needs to update their sound. Beef it up and make it on the level of heaviness that metal is today.

Just my opinion...I love them, but would love to hear how they sound updated instead of stuck in the past.

[Scourge of Malice]

 

[Necro Joe]

^ Good choice. Have you heard it?

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Man that's pretty sweet.

Mine favorite would have to be Don't Break the Oath by Mercyful Fate

 

[Scourge of Malice]

^ Good choice. Have you heard it?

Ya I actually just listened to the first few tracks today and its bad ass!

 

[Necro Joe]

I listened to the song over at Lambgoat and was a bit unimpressed. I think I'll find some more samples or something.

Larry W. Carroll's cover for Reign In Blood is great. First time I saw it, it actually made me feel uneasy. Also, I dig Mike Whelan's album work for the early Sepultura ones especially the Schizophrenia cover. Later Dan Seagrave's work I like but I prefer his earlier work like the Malevolent Creation ones.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Not their best album but I love the cover art.

Dude, how could you think that album cover is better than Colony?

Also, why no mention of Altars Of Madness?

 

[MasterOLightning]

Colony is a great album cover. Was my desktop for quite a long time a few years ago.

 

[SheisMySin]

Colony's cover was the reason I listened to that CD and got into melodic death...same with Children of Bodom's Hatebreeder

(i assume that is hand drawn, unless it is a painting??)

It is a painting, by Thomas Cole.

 

[Susperia]

Thomas Cole was awesome. Here are some that I like:

Sir Frank Dicksee was the man

So was Peter Nicolai Arbo.

Worth mentioning:

 

[CF87]

To bad the music on that hypocrisy cd is not cool like the cover.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

The jester head in the water on the Colony cover PISSES ME OFF. I dunno why!

[V.V.V.V.V.]

[Zephyrus]
