Jeez guys, metal and 80s pop must be the genres with the biggest number of horribly bad cover arts in music history. How the fuck am I supposed to pick just three ?

^ I think the problem with it is there's too much going on. Sort of reminds me of why I don't like the album cover for Dance of Death.

You're right, that Violent Playground cover is indeed the best metal album cover ever!

It's a pretty good raw thrash album though.


An EP, but still... oh well. It's pretty good too.


Could of course also be the best metal album cover ever. It's a fine line indeed.

Picking just three is pretty hard...I mean you have the early ones by Riot and the later CG ones by Helloween. Not sure what else.

Ps: I read that cited the cover of Metallica's Load. The cover of "Load" (Metallica) is a composite photo of bovine blood and semen, entitled "Semen and Blood III", 1990, the artist Andres Serrano. Already the cover of "Reload", created by the same artist, is made up of blood and urine.
