Definitely worth a chuckle or two.


This guy is in a parody band with some of the sickest Heavy Metal riffs I've heard in a long time

It didn't look photoshopped to me, so I did a Google search by image, and check this out:

Just some of the results.

It's not even a bad album cover either, it must be just pure dumb luck, but every cover I've seen that guy post I've actually thought looked pretty cool, so apparently have diametrically opposed taste or something

I think it’s an okay photo. The one really egregious thing, is that one of them is wearing a shirt, of his own band. You shouldn’t do this, as it’s your own band’s photo, which is already an endorsement of your own band. You should wear shirts of other bands, that you give infernal hails to, to help promote them.

The crucified doves look good. I can relate to it. I was directly harmed, by pacifism, growing up. My parents, and the school teachers, indoctrinated me, with that peace crap. I hate it, it ruined my life. My life got better, when I started fighting back, against my enemies. All the do gooders were more angry at you, for fighting back against bullying, than they were at actual bullying(despite preaching the ‘no tolerance for bullying and harassment’ lie).

My life would’ve been better, had I started doing king fu, at a really early age, like in some wuxia movie. Obviously, king fu movies aren’t real, but they’re more real, than the Hollywood crap I was raised on, where the protagonist gets beaten up by the jocks, then defeats them, through some non violent means. Real life doesn’t work like that.

What’s in his bottle?

Necks do not generally work that way.

It also took me too long to realize that his knee is emerging from the gate? and not some kind of monstrous sperm whale-penis hybrid.

Because boobs are pretty cool. There are lots of album covers with boobs on them. They almost deserve their own thread.

I'm willing to accept that the Android Messiah just has a long neck for some kind of android sci fi space function. But yes that knee needs a good explanation. It wouldn't take much explaining for me to get onboard though. Especially if there are robot vocals on the album. I love robot vocals.

Is the shoe possessed or something? And while the rainbow-colored logo looks decent, the colors of the album name on the bottom look tacky at best. Still a good band, though.

Quite a few Megadeth single covers are pretty awful.

That Trust single is easily the worst of the three. That guy looks really bad!

I definitely see it - mainly in the look of the forest and house; it has that dark and foreboding aura that Slenderman has. It also has a slightly 3D animated look to it, and if it were an actual screenshot I wouldn't be too surprised (I forget what the graphics of the original game looked like)

That game was made with Unity so it very well could be both.

I guessed that cover was on a goregrind album. I checked. It's a goregrind album. With an HM2 guitar tone.

Also, the album description on Bandcamp...

The people who gave User Joined Your Channel's demo bad reviews owe an apology to that band, because THIS is generic black metal at its finest.

5150's been doing that in small doses for quite some time though, and is probably a hell of a lot more interesting.

Megadeth's "Rude Awakening" is kind of lame, considering it's just a guy in a bed falling from a skyscraper. Most copies don't even include any text on the cover.
