Let's get superficial here for a bit, and judge albums by the covers.
I've always liked Blot Thrower's covers, but that's probably because I used to be quite into Warhammer 40K. Most of their artworks were made for the use of Games Workshop (who produce the Warhammer/ 40K games), and are used by the band with their permission. ![]() One of the more iconic covers to me is Hypocrisy's Osculum Obscenum, though the logo is anything but readable. ![]() What album covers do you like? Or, why not, what albums covers do you really hate? |

Why superficial? I feel album covers and artwork in general really strengthens the mood of an album.
Some favorites of mine: Just the first few to come up in my mind at this moment, but there are tons more that I love. Tool also has fantastic artwork with their albums, though the packaging has a much bigger role than just the cover there. |

Some of my current favourites (those I'm able to remember right now).
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ...so I guess you get a hint what kind of cover art I love. ;-) More later! |

![]() I haven't heard this album but I love the cover. Diadem of 12 Stars by Wolves in the Throne Room. Most of my favourite album covers come from prog circles, though.

^ Awesome pick there, J-Man!
![]() I'm rather unhappy with the way the album's title is split like that, but the rest of it is great. |

Forgot how great that one is! ![]() Of course, my avatar: ![]() It's somewhat simplistic, but the atmosphere is unbeatable. ![]() |

Hmm...I don�t really like neither the cover nor the music. The Satyricon cover above the Dimmu Borgir one is awsome though.
