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.

I've got so many so here are a few:

Dissection ~ Storm Of The Light's Bane:



All of Catamenia's are awesome too even their one about to be released. I won't post pics of them because it'll take up far too much space.

Er....I'm sure there are others. I just can't think of them right now.

Yup, that Dissection album stands prominantly in my mental list of awesome album covers. I love it so much.

Just remembered another AMAZING album cover; Impaled Nazarene ~ Pro Patria Finlandia:

Persoanally I think the Fuck Me Jesus by Marduk (My Avatar) is the best album cover, but im sure their are alot that i have missed that are equally as good, some of the Iorn Maiden ones are fantastic.

Opeth has some beautiful covers:



..as have Dissection. This is my favourite:


In Flames. I don't like their new logo, but the cover is very nice:


This too, aside from the crappy looking album title:

Ed Repka is probably my favourite cover artist. His works are often based on death and destruction it seems, and at the same time his drawing style makes it very friggin' old school looking, I love it.

Here are some of his works, but not all..Just to give you an idea about them, alot of you will recognize some of them:

Hey!
I only just noticed this thread.

So....if anyone is interested, The 23 Album Covers that I think totally kick llama ass



Has anyone else noticed that both 'In The Nightside Eclipse' and 'Nightfall in Middle-Earth' have an orc in practically the exact same place (bottom left)?

@MH- Damn, the art for Where Dead Angels Lie is incredible. I thought it was generic until I saw the angel wings. I'm surprised I haven't seen it before.

Dark Phoenix
HIM - Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights

I just love it, first of all because it's in my favourite colour, because it's minimalistic, simple but the photo is very artistic and because Valo is just so gorgeous on this picture.

..as have Dissection. This is my favourite:


I never just say this out of nowhere, but damn.
That is as bad as it gets! Probably even worse than that Woman wearing a goat's head passed off as Baphomat on the first page of this thread. This cover screams out corny bad 80s comic book cover.
Dissection always have album covers that were horrible and only seemed dark to kids under 10 or the same people who find King Diamond evil and does not think he looks like a Mexican wrestler.
Necrolord is the most overrated album cover artist I can thnk of.

I have one favorite album cover.
Helloween - Chameleon
