There's a good band name born every day.

I don't know what's worse, that last spolier there or the band photo that goes with it.

That Living Death album isn't too bad, a little cartoony but far from an atrocity.

And yeah, Decibels is a pretty nasty stain in Razor's discography (both in terms of the album cover and music). Thankfully the recent vinyl reissues of it have update cover art that's a lot better (nothing great, but better than the original by a longshot).

This one's just cheese.



This song from the album also has an unintentionally funny bit to it. Just listen at this point for a second and you'll see what it is.

Ohhh, their music is still REALLY bad. But yeah, when I saw this thread I had to make sure someone included KeyDragon. Between their awful lyrics, music, art, and having past members from a group called "The Cool Band", I cannot believe that these are regular people with day jobs that happened to make a band together. There must be a disquieting back story behind how this band came into existence. I know it.



I have so many questions! What is that he's putting his mouth on? It looks like he's trying to inflate some kind of severed animal penis. Also, why does he appear to be menstruating? Okay, maybe I had two questions.

It's a sawn-off shotgun, although the Yanks call it a sawed-off shotgun apparently which I didn't know till now.

keydragon is too cringe to look at sometimes. theres that video of them walking through a town with their vocalist getting all into it in front of those normal city goers. i think thats worse than those people that play music and sing loudly in the quad at the local college.

I'll admit, some of their riffs are almost listenable. but its clear that one guy is doing all the writing, and just brushing off any legitimate criticism as just "haters."

At least the puke-ish green hue is a perfect match.



This one just genuinely disturbs me.



Almost a masterpiece by this thread's standards Razor don't exactly have a great record when it comes to album covers.



I have to agree with the other poster that this one is far from appalling. Loving the sleepy look onthe skull-thingy's face up there

The music actually isn't half bad, joke lyrics aside. Lots of catchy riffs and solos.

Lol. An evil slot machine:


Balding thrasher eating an apple:

You have achieved the accomplishment of being a part of this thread's top ten of horror. By Jove!!!

I sorta like these covers where they are trying to make a serious and valid point - like a poem - and you understand what they are getting at - after a bit of contemplating, but the execution just crashes.

first I thought the resemblance uncanny, then I noticed the title...



lol.


edit: a coupla more of their covers merit a mention, "Metal Is Invincible" and "Raise the Axe", the latter being something I've been meaning to do for a while now... http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Axecuter/3540328762

Ok people. Death metal time.

Who likes silly MS paint covers with Santa Claus on them?

Coffin Fuck sure do.





All their covers are like this, and one of them features Santa Claus boning a christmas tree.

Obviously silly, but still.

Coffin Fuck's music is as terrible as their covers are TBH

There's also this, don't disregard the apple's metalness!

Deceased - Rotten to the Core

Note: I just schooled you guys on how to post in this thread

Those santa ones reminded me of Ajattara. Not santa, but Christmas themed. For years I wondered why they were doing this. Then you get to that last one and it all makes sense.

Lord Belial - Kiss the Goat


More like "Kiss of the Goat, the new fragrance from L'Ordbélial".

^ Haha

NSFW (blowjob)

Not a good cover at all.

At least he got head?

It does? Maybe I'm just slow, but I'm not getting it.

Looks the Dad or whatever pissed his pants in the last panel. I assume it implies the band was "taking a piss" with the theme.

Upon closer inspection, the "dad" has hung himself from the tree. Alright, I don't get it either.

I think you're over thinking it. I think they just wanted some morbid comedy you weren't expecting.

^ Exactly. A black / dark metal band with corny, positive cover art for those releases with the finale being South Park-esque comedy.

your dad's suicide is not sp-esque comedy, especially in suomi, perkele!

Continuing with skeletons that are cheesy/way too happy:

Dismantle - Enter the Forbidden

Head in a Jar - Downtown Meltdown

That is awesomely stupid

Doesn't matter had sex!

And that latest cover art is terrific. Ghost vs Godzilla!

Regarding those Ajattara covers, well, I just can't get that kind of "comedy"...

Grinning skulls sent out to smile, leaving mandatory comedycide

Can't stand smiling skulls or skulls with eyeballs, Altars of Madness included!
Although that cover in general is awesome.

"Dude, I've got it!"
"What is it?"
"The cover should be like, the Pope you know, fighting, like, Godzilla, tearing up the city and shit!"
"DUUUUUUUUUUDE"


I fuckin' love that cover.

Also is that Black Witchery on the rooftop?

"And the Pope should have a machine gun for an arm man. Totally awesome."

It seems whoever did this also did that Havok one people were complaining about earlier, so I guess this is just a quirk of the artist.

Havok - Pwn 'Em All

Heh heh these guys

That was already posted three pages ago, Dread! C'mon man, get it together haha.
