Now, now, Nanowar don't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentenced as utter garbage such as "pizza thrash", let alone get tarred by the same brush ;)

I find this one strangely entertaining. If it were a video game, I'd love to play it!

I personally see nothing wrong with that cover. Nothing at all.

All I can say is that of course you're going to be cold if you're standing there like that in a dark empty space.

Considering I went to the hospital for frostbite on Monday, I absolutely shudder to think of being that exposed outside in the winter.

Poor album covers? Just do a picture search for goregrind. Dime-a-dozen cliche band logo on some old looking poor quality gorey picture.

I love Allegaeon, but their covers are uninspired. (Though not flat-out bad)

Not so much atrocious, as just kind of strange... Just saw an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force that referenced this famous cover, and it made me think... Why the fuck are there forks over his eyes?

^ Look up the artist. He's a prolific guy - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottfried_Helnwein. Same guy that did Rammstein's Sehnsucht, so you know it's supposed to be weird.

I am too lazy to see if anyone even posted this.

This is a brutal and disturbing cover art. It features Dead's (Per Yngve Ohlin) corpse after he killed himself in 1991. Euronymous (Øystein Aarseth) took this picture after he found out. This cover art is featured on the 1995 live album ''Dawn of the Black Hearts'' by Mayhem. Really twisted.

There's also a rally bad Nyktalgia cover, which is on the same theme but without the nudity:

He was poking fun at you because you were explaining the most notorious album cover in the history of metal on a metal forum. No need to get your panties in a bunch over some newbie teasing, mate.

Just a really weak first post. You are not a unique and special black metal snowflake, and imagine how sick we are of kids who read Varg's bio page(s) for the first time along with some Wikipedia entries and feel the need to come in and wax pretentiously about the "good 'ol days" and how the second wave (really the only thing the can argue familiarity with via Dimmu Borgir) was so disappointing.

Hey folks, let's not start an argument over this please. I just thought I could find metal fans that like every kind of metal. Maybe some people like metalcore more or this newer stuff for example, and haven't had the chance to hear a little about Mayhem's story. But I am wrong, and I accept it and express my apologies. I don't consider myself in no way a ''black metal snowflake''. We are a community! So let's just be cool to each other!

Now talking about a bad cover art. I always thought this cover art from Anthrax' debut album is pretty bad in my opinion.

I have to say I'm no fan of deformed children or similar on album covers, birth defects and the like.
I'm almost surprised it took us 14 pages to get Dawn Of The Black Hearts ha ha :p

Evidently there's a Melvins bootleg called Cover Songs

I dunno, that one IMO has a fair bit of charm to it. It's straight to the point :V

Hahahaha, that looks ridiculous. Also incredibly edgy and moronic. That's some shit that a special snowflake type person who doesn't conform to what everyone else does would make.

Did you even see the Nigel Pepper Cock cover posted earlier in the thread? That thing was standing at attention with righteous determination.
