I disagree with a lot of that list. Leprosy is fantastic (if a bit disturbing)! Same goes for Warmaster by Bolt Thrower and Trilogy by Yngwie... |

^Damn straight. Not the best but certainly intriguing.

Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

Here's a whole list of "bad" album covers. I just started it, but I can't believe Leprosy made the list. That's a cool cover IMO.

That reminds me. Has anyone posted the Anal Cunt logo in the metal logo thread yet?

Some people seem to have no notion of how ridiculous they can be in their attempts to look scary...

There are quite a few such acts included in the database, and - when I first saw them and their names - I was rather shocked as well. Unfortunately, they exist, and dealing with them is a classic case of 'damned if you do, damned if you don't'. When you have a database which aspires to being as complete as possible, it is almost a duty to include every metal band, even those whose beliefs are abhorrent. I would, however, draw the line to any kind of glorification of the aforementioned beliefs, and I don't think I have to explain why. |

Yes please. No censorship in that regard. It�s important that we document and not judge. If the question was about how far you�re supposed to go in a thread like this, I say the same, but as Raff suggests the voice of reason might come in handy too. But then again why shouldn�t I post a covers like the meat collages by Carcass if I felt they were they ugliest covers in the world? As long as it�s part of the thread intention I don�t see it as a problem. I�m going through the death metal sub at the moment ( and probably a few years from now) and I�ve seen my fair share of bestial and quite frankly tasteless cover artwork. That�s also what this site is about though. We represent every genre in metal, also the ones we might not enjoy much ourselves. For instance I found a white supremacy act the other day. That kind of got me bothered but not for a second do I consider censorship. That would more or less ruin the credibility of MMA IMO. Edited by UMUR - 23 May 2010 at 2:51am |

I have to "defend" the Slayer thread though,
At 1st it was just to tell "why" he didnt like them, and it would start a "Discussion" because they are VERY popular. I like a few albums but their are alot of bands of that era (imho) that were better musicians, but . . . Slayer has a sound that I like sometimes. Its that sound-why they are popular. But the thread got heated, instead of "opinions" it got into a Bash. Folks have to remember that what they write is "their own opinion" and NOT "My way or the highway" . |

Well, this is a metal site, and we all know how awful some of those covers can be. They are available elsewhere on the site, so it would sound a bit hypocritical on our part (I mean we Admins) to ban their posting here. I believe that it should be up to each individual member's sense of what is appropriate to decide whether it is a good idea to post something that might shock others.

I'm glad Raff
I stepped into another " I HATE DREAM THEATER" thread at PA, and the few poor guys that just "mentioned" they liked them, they end up getting beat-up by the peanut gallery (AND I get equally mad at the DT "Holier than Thou" Fans as well) . I just HOPE that "this" thread is in Fun, and will not get bashed if I said (or anyone) "But I LIKE that cover". But Raff, how "Explicit" can we get with Album Covers? Metal/"Gore Metal" can be EXTREMELY gross and shocking, I for one wont put them up, because I think it'll have a dominoe effect (for good or bad). But a Bad cover is a Bad cover (in taste and/or execution), but its "In the Eye of the Beholder". . . . i think . Edited by MAVIIIVAM - 22 May 2010 at 6:00pm |
