I thought it'd be a nice idea to post your favorite covers. Please, if you can post only one and try to find a picture of it. Also say why you like it. Thank you.

Ok, I couldn't find another way, but this way it shows it. Happy posting.

Marduk- Fuck Me Jesus

This is one of my favorites because, well, a chick sodomizing herself with a cross is badass I guess.

@ Nervel- That Bathory cover is really cool. But I have a question, how do you get links to show up like that, where someone can just click them instead of having to copy and paste them into an address window?

just put the code before and after the link

From the moment I saw Aurora Borealis' cover for their newest album 'Relinquish' I had to own it, and I do.

Some of the most beautiful and intriguing artwork I have ever seen. I love it.

Lust ultimately get the prize for worst artwork and possibly best artwork:

http://www.metal-archives.com/release.php?id=70966

the genesis artwork would make an excellent t-shirt design

and also good: http://www.metal-archives.com/release.php?id=89419

but the music isn't as interesting

hey how about a warning next time you post a link to a penis?

Simplicity is better sometimes.

Its so twisted and Evil!It makes you want to bleed for the devil.

A demon fighting in the depths of hell is badass.

So simple yet oh so effective.

Hey Trifixion,Slayer's Live Undead is tight as well.

Haha yeah that one's pretty kick ass too, all the early Slayer albums seem to own eh South Of Heaven has an awesome one as well. Quite detailed if you take a minute to look it all over.

I like the cover of Hypocrisy's first album "Penetralia"... a sinister corridor sorrounded by serpent tongues that leads to a kind of empty void... it's very scary.

@pyroleprechaun, nice cover.

@C-Dub. Goddamn, that one slays! It is really a great piece of work. I love those covers that are really detailed, where you can keep finding new stuff in.

Mystic Circle - Infernal satanic verses:

Dark Tranquillity - Of Chaos and Eternal Light



It's just so damned artsy! I love it.

Mystic Circle - Infernal satanic verses:

Yeah Soulreaper that is sweet,there is just something so dark and evil about it.

definitley the best Sava cover,it is a magnificent piece of art.

Hmmm...there seem to be a lot of extreme metal covers in this thread
Saying that, my vote goes to Dissection's Storm of the Light's Bane

It's just so damn good. I love Necrodeth's artwork (he did that Bathory cover, I think). It's so cool looking, without the usual satanic imagery present in Black metal albums. The music kicks ass as well.

Immortal's At the Heart of Winter is good, too.

Bathory - The Return

So simple, yet so spooky...boy i love this cover!....never fails to send a chill down my spine

Covenant - In Times Before The Light

This is my all-time favourite album cover. Really, really awesome.....too bad they messed up the original cover when they re-released it. In keeping with their electronic music, they made a totally diff cover.

Simply beautifull


This image is not very clean but the brown parts are at golden colour and fullout

Without doubt... King crimson's In the court of the crimson king is the best cover art ever

I think this one is quite funny-- having Jesus used as a sling shot by a huge monster... simply ingenious...

I forgot this one too... It is nice and simple, and it stands alone. It represents what the album is - not what it seems .

King Diamond - The Graveyard . it's quite pretty ,that lonely cross in the night . very spooky
