|
Emperor - Reverence
The coldest album cover I’ve ever seen. |
 |
2.
|
Wintersun - Wintersun
The 2nd coldest album cover I’ve ever seen. I can’t say the album owes its success to the cover either; the music rocks as well. I heard this guy has some crazy project up his sleeve, but does not have Time 2 do it. Also blue = win. |
 |
3.
|
The Ruins Of Beverast - Rain Upon The Impure
I can’t think of a joke, I just love this one. |
 |
4.
|
Dissection - Live Legacy

A picture so lo-fi that some people claim they can’t see what’s on it! Gimme more. Also nature + water. |
 |
9.
|
Pestilence - Testimony Of The Ancients
Makes me think of Baldur’s Gate and a place called “High Hedge”. |
 |
10.
|
Esoteric - The Pernicious Enigma
Mmmmm, the police dog senses some sweeeeet substances behind this. |
 |
11.
|
In The Woods... - Heart Of The Ages
The only thing that’s better than a photo of nature is a lo-fi photo of nature ft. water, especially when it was taken 30 years ago so you can hardly blame the photographer’s ability. |
 |
12.
|
The Ocean - Anthropocentric
Note: I’ve not listened to this yet. |
 |
13.

 |
17.

Pentagram - Pentagram
I like this because it says what’s on it and then the thing that’s supposed to be on it is on it. |
 |
19.

Blue. The grim reaper is a bonus points cheat. |
 |

 |
21.
|
Suffocation - Breeding The Spawn
Blue. |

Analepsy - Atrocities From Beyond
I very highly recommend this. |
 |
37.
|
Windir - Arntor
If my instinctual understanding of viking stuff is correct, this is the most viking thing I’ve ever seen. -- EDIT: This was from a nazi poster?? Well now it's turned into a cool thing made for the completely wrong reason... |
 |
38.
|
Satyricon - The Shadowthrone
I don’t know why they’ve gone for a completely different cover on the recent re-release. A shame, really. |

I really didn't expect what I heard when I played this for the first time; I didn't expect the avantgarde harmonies and anticipated rather something strictly melodic, but this grew on me immensely, as shown in my favorite albums list! |
