Well basically just list out your favourite artists. It doesn't have to be artists who work with only metal bands.
Also post links of their work or links to their sites, blogs etc

For me I would have to say

John Dyer - Baroness, Pig Destroyer, Black Tusk, Kylesa, Kvelertak and a few more.
http://www.myspace.com/johndyerbaizley
This guy is awesome, he's pretty much one of my favourites. I love pretty much all his artwork. You can make out a John Dyer as soon as you see it. He's got a very distinctive style with the use of beautiful women, some might say overuse, but i have no complains

Malleus Rock Art Lab( Urlo, Lu, Poia) - Ufomammut, Swans, Kyuss, Roadburn, Supernatural Cat
http://malleusdelic.wordpress.com/
[url]www.malleusdelic.com[/url]
Ok these guys are the best at screens, I mean i haven't seen better work coming out in while. I just love everything they put out. Their posters are done with such care and they really put a lot of work into each design. Again these guys have a thing for women a lot of beautiful women in their designs.

Brian Mercer- Clutch, Eyehategod, Black Tusk, Zoroastor, Lamb of God and a lot more
http://mercerrock.com/index.php
This guy again does mainly posters and flyers for bands and festivals. Again he's got a unique style with the use of skulls and sculptures.

Ok I'm going to stop typing now and just give you links.

Florian Bertmer - Agoraphobic Nosebleed, 16.
http://florianbertmer.blogspot.com/

David Dandrea - Shrinebuilder, OM, Agalloch, Ludicra

Really, really like this covert art. Just discovered the album and it's really quite excellent. A side project of Anaal Nathrakh that plays a kind of cinematic, avant garde/symphonic darkwave (if MA is anything to go by). There's a youtube channel with the whole album that I recommend immensely, quite Arcturus-like at times too.

Integrity's 'To Die For' EP - very good hardcore/metalcore (one of the very first "metalcore" bands actually, as in a proper mix of the two not what most people call metalcore these days)

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v350/sarcastic_smile/?action=view¤t=93.jpg
Sunn O))) and Boris' collaboration called 'Altar' - review here: http://metalstorm.net/pub/review.php?review_id=3794

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v350/sarcastic_smile/?action=view¤t=28.jpg
Tenebrae in Perpetuum's 'Onori Funebri Rituali' - decent, if not spectacular black metal. Not as good as the artwork would imply but still not bad.

Voila.

Hmm well nothing VERY metal like their previous band Archaicus but I would say there's plenty of metal/rock on the record (most of it so), combined with the many folky-ish bits on there too. It's a nice album, I recommend it a lot.

Seems they have a new EP out already this year too, odd as it took them an age to get the debut out.

Yes yes it did remind me of the Earth cover art as well. Definitely not Baizly, but does have some similarities to his work.
Nice cover though.
"Artwork By [Original] - Hush" Should definitely find out who these guys are. Funny to see Grahams name on this, far from his usual work, but its just layout, so I guess he just paste the band/album name splat in the center

Have been trying to find some decent metal posters recently but I quickly discovered that decent ones are difficult to get and absurdly expensive so I had the genius idea of taking advantage of one of the many "sign up and get 40 free photo prints" that are scattered around the web and sent 40 off my favourite band's cover art:



The result was rather good, especially for a total of 99p.

Points for guessing the not so obvious ones.

The only ones I don't know are the following:
first row: 5; Second row: 1,4,5; Fourth row: 1; Sixth row: 3,5; Seventh row: 2; eighth row: 4
31 out of 40. Not that bad but then again, most of the are obvious. Although I gotta say that I don't get your love for the darkthrone artwork, is iconic but I don't see anything more than that. the latest one by Sunn O)) is also meh to me, Black one is way better though.

Also, what the fuck is on the Elend artwork?
And that whole thing is a poster? cool... but why are the artworks... not really complete? Like you cut them with a pair of scissors. Lovely clockwork orange and Metropolis poster though. I also have the same C.O poster. Right next to it I have this baby framed:



Ignore the excess of white on the sides, that's just part of the shitty picture I found on the internet.

Dark Tranquillity - Enter Suicidal Angels, Robedoor - Rancor Keeper, Dan Swano - Moontower, Sikth - The Trees Are Dead, Agoraphobic Nosebleed - PCP Torpedo (re-issue version), Leakh - Et Cetera, Skullflower - Tribulations, Merzbow - Pulse Demon, Venetian Snares - Detrimentalist, which I've just noticed is on upside down. Oh well.

That Darkthrone artwork is awesome BECAUSE it's iconic. It's perfect for such a wall display as it's representative of a particular style of music.

The Elend artwork is an overpass, that cars drive over, except it's broken at the end.

Nope it's not a poster, they've all been stuck in the wall individually and the reason they're cropped is because that's the only size photographs they would do free (6 x 4.5). I don't mind though, they all look fine as I cropped them myself in photoshop.

A shame but you did a great job though!
The Elend cover was very blurry but now I see the overpass. The merzbow cover was totally meh until I saw a big picture of it and I went "HOLY SHIT it moves!"
