    The sun is shining, the Metal is Ruthless and the album art is dog shit. Life is good.

    Girls with Photoshop: i will make myself look prettier Boys with Photoshop: Dance of Death by Iron Maiden
  • @LeatherRebel75
    Gotta laugh at the hand-drawn album covers that look like they were done by a high school freshman sitting the back of the room in algebra class drawing monsters and fantasy themed stuff in their notebook.
  • @lorddikdrol6906
    I disagree with Killing Is My Business being in honourable mentions, and it laid the groundwork for future Megadeth albums by featuring Vic Rattlehead
  • @no-just-no
    the first time i saw Extreme Cold Weather cover i seriously thought it was a shitpost
  • @josepudelko6219
    Half of these album covers are great and original. I prefer an interesting an unique cover than the Thrash ones that look exactly the same.
  • @Khonsu1373
    To be fair to Metal Church, the album art work was chosen by the record company. The band hated it and it was one of the reasons why Mike Howe left the band.
  • @iansmith1965
    The "Dance of Death" album cover...well, Iron Maiden themselves are to blame for that one! The artist showed it to them in a rough unfinished state, saying "Is this the sort of thing? I'll tidy it up and finish it off", but the band, who wanted the album released, said "That'll Do!" so that's how it was released.

    Next video: Best metal album covers!
  • @censored1080
    I'd say about a fourth of of these covers aren't bad, they're just not what you'd expect/want for a metal album.
  • @bartliff
    The cover for The Court Of The Crimson King by King Crimson is an amazing cover especially when u open it up and see the picture in the middle. Amazing music as well.
  • @life_of_riley88
    It's actually pretty impressive how fit all those dudes in ManOWar were.
  • I love the Riot seal because they really leaned into making it silly as hell among contemporaries constantly trying to look their coolest
  • The cover art in Anthrax's Fistful of Metal looks pretty cool to me, too. But can understand why people may not like.
  • @gabonnewell6917
    I found black sabbath's Paranoid album cover hilarious too XD
