Interracial sex leads to pink topped mushroom clouds, man! It's serious business!

So I was looking at the Time Does Not Heal cover, and I noticed something pretty silly. The shadow of the photographer! Unless someone else can explain what its supposed to be. Hahaha..

Pantera's first album looks pretty goofy too. Some weird cat-man is smiling at us and he's not even doing the metal horns right, lol.

You could add half of Tourniquet's albums to this list. :P

Antiseptic Bloodbath:

I actually thought this was kind of neat when I first saw it. Until you actually listen to the lyrics for the song that goes with it and realize they're talking about how eating burgers is the same as crucifying Jesus.

I'll never forget the day my sister and I were driving across the country and she exclaimed "what the hell is this?" after discovering this album among the CDs in my car. It didn't help matters when she put it on and discovered the whole album has (maybe) two good songs on it.

Presumably they're back to alternating between Meat-is-Evil and Zoos-are-Evil (next will be Circuses-are-Evil of course). Also I forgot to ask... why the heck is Ted Kirkpatrick's name floating over the Tourniquet logo?

You guys should really be posting links to sources and names etc in here...

Suspended Animation
Fantômas

I can't stand the artwork in this or the packaging, the music is fine but the visual...
For those of you who haven't seen this it's basically a calendar complete with the spiral ring spine and some terrible "art"

Bad zooming here, haha. It's not an atrocity, of course, but the title says "bad, ugly, worse" and I thought this one was pretty bad.

Is that chick on the cover photoshoped or what? That neck position is totally weird, like she has a snapped neck or something.

Nah bro that cover is badass! Just like the album itself. One of the best heavy metal albums ever created imo. It's that fucking good.

By no means a bad painting or album cover in and of itself, but I always thought the font choice on In Flames's "The Jester Race" was very awkward and out of place......who ever heard of a death metal album cover in COMIC SANS???

I don't think this is official, but this one looks much better to me:

"Man, that's some hot coffee."

Okay, here goes. Some of the worst covers in heavy metal history, and I'm not talking about stuff like Riot's 'Narita' or Scorpions' 'Fly to the Rainbow'. At least that was legitimate artwork. This is stuff that fails on every level.


Microsoft Paint. It's serious business.

Fantastic album, but the cover is unbelievably bad. It's ugly, cluttered to hell, with too many different ideas going on at the same time, while also being too close to each other.
