RAgnarok - Blackdoor Miracle

I wonder what the fuck they were thinking with this one. This ridiculous cover art on a good album like this one, and right after having two albums with very good artwork, Diabolical Age and Arising Realm, and then again on the next album Collectors of the King.

And I've always hated Atrophy's album art. It's just so fucking derpy, it makes me think I'm in for garbage though it's really great.

To me this just screams out "let's try to make it look as un-black metal as possible for irony or something"

Yeah Sunbather. It's the second release by Deafheaven, the first one is way better though. This one the vocals are just awful, pretty much post black metal with screamo vocals.

Classic one. "You know Jontho, when it comes to image and aesthetics I think black metal could learn one or two things from gangster rap. Now pass the bong or I'm gonna pop a cap in yo ass!"

I choose to believe the "l" was a typo and they were actually pulling a Belphegor here. At least it would explain the artwork. Because buttsex.

I kinda like that bunny pic - it fits for a melodic power metal band.

By the way....is there unmelodic power metal? why the eff is that even a genre?

^ That's one of the reasons why it took me so long to care about Avulsed. Terrible album covers.
Ritual Zombi's isn't bad though, but the music is great and deserves better

Well, is there unmelodic music besides noise and drone?

Nah, too much effort was put into that artwork. And hot damn, that shit is beautiful.

It's just not the first thing I'd slap on a metal CD.
