Are you sure about In Flames and Morbid Angel? The first looks like a castle on wheels and the second...I don't know. And by the way, Transcend The Rubicon is Benediction, not Dismember haha

Cool idea and nice selection already

Some more examples come to mind:

- Lord Belial - Enter The Moonlight Gate
- The Great Old Ones - Kadath

...
and of course
- Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse !

Benediction/Dismember my bad, I always confuse them in my memories...
For In Flames, I guess a castle on wheels is still a castle, and for Morbid Angel, you can see towers being slowly warped by a black hole. I guess I'd like to quote a lot of Dan Seagrave's pictures, where there's often castle-like architecture, but to be fair the line is pretty blurry between strongholds, cities, towers, abstract chaotic stone-made buildings...

And Walls Of Jericho is just a wall, admitedly with crenels. But would Herzel | Le Dernier Rempart also be valid? there it's just a wall.

I went on to check all albums covers in my collection but quickly got lazy, so I'm working by recall... Doesn't Manilla Road | Crystal Logic also have one?
