Hello. I've joined this to be able to have more people who like heavy metal to talk to as most people I know hate the genre with a passion. First metal band I got into was Metallica with the black album. It's great but I quickly moved on to puppets album. I stopped listening to metal in late nineties as was fed up with the scene at the time but a few years ago I got back on the metal train as it was the only music I really connected with when I started listening to old sepultura cassettes which I unearthed when I was clearing the house. Now I listen to all sorts of metal and some outside the box metal which is more individual thanks to metal hammer magazine and bloodstock festival. It would be much more difficult to find great metal without these. Pallbearer, wolves in the throne room, hamferd, nixa, gojira, et moriemur, baroness, acid reign thanks to bloodstock, jonestown, bismuth, dawn ray'd, illimitable dolor,winter sun, mispyrming, early opeth, anthrax, abyssic, slow, immortal, abbath, emperor, sepultura, rotting Christ, megadeth, valkenfyre,anon amarth, death,fear factory,machine head,paradise lost, trollfest etc.some of these bands I only have 1 album of there's I really like or even own. Cheers for now ??

I love that! Kuuhulluus..

I mean of course the Finnish people have a word for it...

Natassja.. ? Ok, ok. Mythology.

We actually have a common term in Finland for the effects moon has. It´s called Kuuhulluus (Moon craziness), and a person who is prone to this is called Kuuhullu (Moon crazy). ?

Noah's Mill bourbon. A rare pleasure, I hardly ever have good whiskey anymore. No particular occasion.

Mgla - ‘Exercises in Futility’

Welcome ??

On a more serious note.... some others I rate:

That is an awesome cover @MacabreEternal and I love that Disentomb album cover @Thrashman Heres a few of my favourite more recent ones;

These are the record covers I grew up with as a teenager and I have spent hours looking at these covers. Back in those heady days when life was just sitting in my room drooling over album artwork and listening to vinyl. Fuck yeah.

Listening to this right now and love the craziness of this cover.

Savoy Brown is not Metal, but I believe their music opened doors for dark rock and roll freedom. I will always love this album cover.

@Trashman: too funny Ok - Everything Denis Forkas has his hand on is simply breathtaking Behemoth - Xiadz And David Herrerias`s Artworks are also pretty intense Akhlys - The Dreaming

Ha, cool!!

Hi, I'm new to this forum. Metal albums have some of the greatest covers...an especially good thing when the music is great too. Anyway, I'll start with some of my favorite metal music/artwork combinations. Feel free to add your own.

I love Oranssi Pazuzu's covers: Of course, I adore the cover from मृत्यु का तापसी अनुध्यान: And though not a metal cover, this one probably wins for me: You can probably deduce my aesthetic tastes pretty easily from this.

My personal favorite, it's so simple but so striking.

But there are also many other covers I love:

So many awesome album covers but I'll post just the one for now. Love this one.

Amon Amarth have a few good ones. And i really liked this Darkthrone cover, even if the album itself wasnt as good.

Maybe. Then again, finding out more about pop music has opened my mind to exactly how phenomenally indolent pop artists are and how easily impressed the listening public really are. Anyhow:
