Can we just all agree that metal has the most awesome covers of any genre in music?

I do miss the old days when I used to buy an album just based off of the cover artwork if I had never heard of them before.

Judas Priest's "Sad wings of destiny" - jawdropping!!!

The Sound of Perseverance by Death is one of my favourites definitely, it captures the album's atmosphere perfectly

Somewhere in Time is the best Maiden cover IMO, perfectly fits the music and vibe of the album and the detail is amazing

Death- Scream Bloody Gore Massacre- From Beyond Atheist- Piece of Time Sepultura- Beneath the Remains (Oh hell, I could go on for days...) So much great Metal Art. 🤘

Painkiller is a knight riding a serpent motorcycle with razor wheels over a city sinking into molten rock

Mercyful Fate's "Dont Break the Oath" album cover is so damn AWESOME! Honorable mention to Sodom's "Agent Orange"!

KISS had 3 great covers in a row. Scorpions - Blackout MSG - Assault Attack Metal Church - Metal Church King Diamond - Fatal Portrait Accept - Breaker Warlock - Burning the witches Raven - All for one Manowar - Hail to England

In my personal opinion, Mastodon has the absolute greatest album covers in all of metal. Almost every single one can stand on their own as an legitimate piece of art. The Leviathan cover is what made me listen to them in the first place
