  • we should totaly do an 80s cover desk. or a dated cover desk. or an illadvised covers desk. or something. there are millions of terrible metal covers.

    Yeah good idea, there are some covers that are just so terrible you have to wonder whether it was a blind man who approved them.

    I'm not sure why, but you're right that metal seems to have more than its fair share of them. I think when you try to go all dark and evil looking it's easy to miss the mark and end up looking stupid.

  • heres a few i think do it quite nicely, off the top of my head [ie. list on RYM]:


    eh, ok i couldnt find too many bad ones, this one cant be serious:


    immortal are masters of looking stupid:

    but also, imo, the masters of black metal.
    the story goes, on the cover of sons of the northern darkness the singer has his fly down cause he couldnt fit into his medeivel war [gimp] suit.

    I think that rateyourmusic doesn't allow inline linking to the pictures they host mostly-metal, they don't show up for me unless I go to the address manually (this is probably why they stop showing up for you after a while, once they expire from your browser cache).

    Try linking to amazon, they allow it (in fact that's what the album pages here do).

  • Ladies and Gentlemen of the Opposition (2004)

    I wish I had any hopes of the album sounding like the cover, but alas, Sivert Höyem is a male and the singer of Madrugada.

    On the contrary, the contents of this album are the hallmark of a lunatic. No disappointment there. :)

    Dry (1992)



    Of all the albums in the NME Top 50 of 1992, this is the cover that stood out.

    And knowing Too Pure, I bet it was also the cheapest.
