Artwork: Folk Metal Albums

This is a list of (celtic/medieval/extreme) folk metal albums (in alphabetical order) based on their artwork. It includes iconic cover art from classic albums as well as fascinating work from more recent releases.
There is a saying that "you should not judge a book by its cover", which is of course also true in the case of music albums. However, the artwork can complement the production and give a visual introduction to the musical theme and atmosphere. More than for any other kind of music, this may be true for metal.

(Updated 19.02.2023)

1.Arkona - Гой, Роде, Гой!
2.Brymir - Voices In The Sky
3.Cnoc An Tursa - The Giants Of Auld
4.Eluveitie - Helvetios
5.Eluveitie - Slania
