How did I miss this awesome thread!? Anyway, some from me:

Pierrot: is that Peter Gabriel Cover by Storm Thorgerson/Hipgnosis/Storm Studios?
Ah yes it is. Just found it on Wikipedia.
Anyway, this thread needs more Storm Thorgerson work:

^ yeah, 'Peter Gabriel II (AKA, Scratch)' album cover from design group Hipgnosis, All Hipgnosis's work is piece of art!
included music is fascinating as well.

Great Musician meets Great Designer

"MFG"

yeah, Mastodon have wonderful covers! The Meshugga-Cover I find rather disgusting though.

Another really wonderful cover:


also very good music. You have to hold it in your hand and see all pages etc to really see how great the artwork is.

5Dave beat me to Kvelertak. The back cover of the album is even better, but i'll refrain from posting it because titties


Here is every album cover:

the thought of your fingers bleeding onto the weed was a real mind fuck.

I feel like Dr Dude just posted every cover there ever was. Ever.

3% of the music i own, but sure. i'll spoiler it if that helps

TORQUE - ED Rush · Nico · Trace · Fierce






Thé Au Harem D'Archimède - Ricardo Villalobos

I think heavy metal almost always has the best album covers.

Sorry to say but you've got to see the irony in this combined with the gun discussion.

Agree though, it's a great album cover. Although I like the album cover of the sickness even more, very gothic.

There are some really good covers in the metal genre but the ones you posted are not them. The first in standard flamey stuff, the second one is inferior to most others Iron Maiden album covers, and the last one is typical gothic stuff.

I have too many favorites in the genre to pick definite favorites, so I just posted some of the ones I really like. I want to post some new ones though since I've discovered Epica.

Flying Lotus - Los Angeles (2008 / Experimental)




Massive Attack - Mezzanine (1998 / Trip-Hop)



Boards Of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children (1998 / IDM)



Enslaved - Norvegr (1994 / Viking Metal)

Are the Flying Lotus and the massive attack cover by the same artist?

Mezzanine has such a great cover, especially with the bright orange cd!

And that boards of canada cover is somewhat creepy. Is it good music? (stupid question)

nope.

no, 'good' is not enough. excellently structural and creepily beautiful. when I first heard, I couldn't found the words to describe how moving it was. worth listening if you're lover at chill out or experimental music.

I recommend 'An Eagle In Your Mind' and 'Telephasic Workshop'.
