Honestly I've seen much worse than this. The Condor one isn't great, but I've also seen worse drawings too (I've taught 11 year olds and if they drew that, I'd be impressed).

The NSFW one.......fuck that. Not literally, I don't want to. But forget not-safe-for-work - more like "not safe for life" :crash:

I've clearly spent too much time on the internet since I didn't even flinch at that Necrobios cover. Could be orders of magnitude worse. It's a "good" cover in the sense that you know instantly that the music is going to be shit.

So, this band has a pretty awful cover of their only demo. I'm adding a spoiler on it to prevent any unsuspecting viewers of getting an eye sore from it.

Also, this might've been brought up here before, but Digger's decision to use a Donald Duck-looking robot for the cover of their only studio album is stupid, yet funny at the same time :lol:

The cover painting is from Limbonic Art's In Abhorrence Dementia booklet, if I remember correctly. I kind of like Morfeus's paintings, they fit Limbonic Art's music. I mean, c'mon, they have a lyric "The black voyage into mega therion", like they assumed the "to" in "to mega therion" was an English preposition and "mega therion" is a place that's just so mega that you want to black voyage into it.

First and last are goofy enough to be passable (especially the last) but what's with the second one? The girl looks 100% Photoshopped in, and is that paint supposed to resemble gloves? It looks terrible

Exactly! Her hands look like they're covered in licorice.

Speaking of Dani Filth, I personally think the cover for V Empire, or Dark Faerytales in Phallustein has aged poorly. I mean, the demon lady looks like she wanted to get the photo shoot done as quickly as possible.

Is it Electric Wizard worship?

Because if I can know exactly what the album sounds like without any hint other than the cover, then the cover has done its job.

Never heard them (And I don't wanna because I heard they're a nazi band.) But they're supposedly doom metal as well.

^better way to consume Jack Daniels, than drinking it, I guess? Because there are better bourbons out there.

Is that where the famous photo of the band, with a kid wearing an In Flames shirt, and top hat, got their idea?

I put this into Google Image search (or Google Lens or whatever they call it now)
Even Skynet thinks this is Iron Maiden

I mean... imitation IS the sincerest form of flattery!

On that note:

Ironically looks like a solid attempt at mimicking Electric Wizard, who tends to have trashy (but in a good way) album covers.
Unfortunate about their fashiness though.

I actually have no clue why stoner/doom metal has been plagued by a fascination with Nazis lately. Even Electric Wizard's been dancing close to that fire. Maybe their love of esoteric occultism and outlaw sensibilities is getting the best of the scene...? But that's a discussion for another thread.

Black metal band Véhémence is absolutely fantastic but their artwork is... well... not very good. I get what they are going for, but... damn. Not for me. At all.

The incredible debut album by In Aphelion, titled Moribund will feature on quite a few AOTY lists, mark my words, but the artwork is just... ugly. Very ugly. And it doesn't match the music AT ALL.

So... this band, which has one really long name that reminds me of a technical death metal band with a similar long name, has a weird cover for their currently only demo. I mean, that skeleton in the middle is clearly photoshopped in, and terribly at that!
