Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I don't mind a few covers here.

Metallica - Load, Reload, Death Magnetic, Hardwired... - all pretty terrible IMO.
Strangely the St Anger album cover I don't mind, terrible album though.

If
"Katatonia always made great covers the concept is great."
then why
"Yes maybe I have to put other record in that place, Dance Of December Souls maybe"?

The Mercyful Fate one is nice. Most of them are alright in fact.
You didn't include Iron Maiden's Dance Of Death? Clearly the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear 'bad album cover'

Alice Cooper - DaDa has got a great cover IMO. The two albums before DaDa had pretty awful album covers.

Yes in a subjective way for some people it is a masterpiece for me the lowest point in the art of the band

I agree with the Symphony X one, I always hated that cover.

THE ETHEREAL MIRROR cover is part of a bigger artwork. And it sums up perfectly what's inside musicwise. This cover shouldn't be here.

Musicians shouldn't be on the cover artwork. Come on, you have the chance to tell what the album is about and you don't have a better idea than putting your photo on the cover...meh...

Queensrÿche "Empire" is real trash! I bet they were making it in Microsoft Paint... Windows 3.0 version
I like that one, nothing wrong with it, simple and effective for me. Also one of my favorite QR albums.

Yeah, you're probably right. Maybe we should create a list with "Great records with bad album covers"...

This list doesn’t have the appreciation of the new guys or youngest metal fans, cause in the present time maybe those guys don’t have the opportunity to buy vinyls or cds so they just downloaded from internet or listen on Spotify or others platforms, so the artwork are in second line, for other side when we buy a record in the eighties the 50 % of the fun it was the artwork the album cover it was part of the fun…
Now the art for most people it is something disposable.

I usually don't write negative comments (with a few exceptions) so I'll just say which ones I like instead. Opeth, Mercyful Fate and especially Death shouldn't be on this list imo. All classic album covers. I also like Slayer's Diabolus In Musica but my favourite one, without joking, is Riot's Narita cover because I think that baby seal head sumo with a giant axe is awesome in a so bad it's good kinda way. The album is awesome too.
