Why do metal bands have the best album covers?
Asher Gray
Anthony Butler
Yo that's one of my favorite covers as well. Iron Maiden has some great art, even Dance of Death has its charm.
Jordan Murphy
>Metal and psychedelic rock.
FTFY
Luis Johnson
this isn't even the best maiden cover desu
The cult of the object and the importance of the visuals is ingrained in metal culture. A lot of people got into metal because they were fascinated by the covers.
Most metal videos are awful though
Camden Scott
For me, it always was Yes
Nicholas Richardson
Because metal has the balls to create shit that intrigues people that other genres simply can't. Like this one for example.
Nolan Wood
this cover isn't very good though
Jackson Campbell
great choice.
Jack Morales
>this cover isn't very good though
Agreed. I wonder, what's the most metal pre-Riggs metal cover art?
>Cannibal Corpse
Come on.
Caleb Reyes
not that one, it's just trying to be edgy so teens would buy it
Dylan Kelly
because they make for great shirts for me to spend all my money on
Tyler Young
it's iconic and it fits the music, I don't see what's wrong
Adrian Hill
I don't know but I like it
Parker Walker
I just now realized that Eddy's organ is branded Roland if you look close enough
Hunter Smith
>Cannibal Corpse
And /meal/ shits on bands like Converge and Opeth Just because p4k like them when CC has the same demographic of fucking Falling in Reverse
Aaron Ross
...
Nathaniel Perry
>/meal/ shits on bands like Converge and Opeth Just because p4k like them
/meal/ is Just a shithole where the only recs are Sludge albums no one ever heard about and they only shit on bands Who are more popular than what they listen to (Which is the 87%of bands in the world) independent if you like metal or not, that general sucks
>CC has the same demographic of fucking Falling in Reverse
I mean you have a point but both demographic are actually very different
FiR mostly consists on scene Kids Who Just get depressed that FOB isn't making pop punk anymore so they turned into the scene cringelord that Ronnie Radke is Just because he looks like an emo boy (in his fucking 30s) CC is only edgy teenagers who hates every other music style that isn't as "Heavy" as CC
Hunter Brooks
Hey guys, what's the consensus on that album tho?
Aaron Scott
>what is progressive rock
Dylan Torres
solid album with moments of greatness that continued their phenomenal 2000's comeback
Aiden Ross
>the only recs are Sludge albums
What? /meal/ barely ever talks sludge
Landon Thompson
>/meal/ is Just a shithole where the only recs are Sludge albums
According to /meal/ sludge isn't even metal.
>I mean you have a point but both demographic are actually very different

Matthew Morales
Think again
Evan Nguyen
Josiah Ramirez
Joshua Bell
Elijah Parker
Based
Luke Nelson
>tfw it's just a chest upside down
Angel Clark
Asher Reyes
metal album covers are only liked by people who think the lord of the rings are masterpieces of literature and film making
Alexander Bell
based
Jason Young
Somewhere in Time is still the absolute best as far as Maiden covers go.
Noah Peterson
Because metal is so fucking ridiculous and over the top they can get away with pretty much whatever they want.
Dylan Hughes
Cause they were giving artists a lot of work and usually paid good money.
Aiden Martin
>shock value and edge equals good
Leo Martin
Tfw this fails both
Good album but the cover is pretty shit. Butchered at Birth's cover is way better.
Zachary Long
Damn I remember going over to my mate's once a week and just spending at least 15-20 minutes just laying out all Iron Maiden records up 'till 96 and just looking at them appreciating the artwork and the vinyl. Good times.
Asher Adams
I love the aesthetics of slayer covers
Owen White
only good covers itt
Tyler Clark
CAUSE I HAVE LIVED MY LIFE TO THE FULLEST
I HAVE NO REGRETS
Christopher Allen
>metal album art thread
>no mentions of dan seagrave
Jack Lee
Had this as a poster when I lived with my folks, my mom said she really liked it.
Angel Morgan
Winner hands do0wn.
Noah Powell
Ture Art
Joshua Rodriguez
best iron maiden cover ez
Hunter Nelson
Hell's album covers are just Gustave Dore pieces with a red tinge. Pretty comfy nonetheless
Bentley Roberts
>fake band
>fake punch
Yeah nah
Carter Bennett
mi negro
Jaxson Green
Daniel Lopez
Metal album covers are the best because they have the most spürdification potential. Altars of madness and consuming impulse are my favorites off the top of my head.
Tyler Cooper
can't forget
Parker Green
black metal has the best covers. I could look at pictures of snow covered forests forever.
Cooper Allen
Because metal as a genre of music depends a lot on gimmicks and first impressions. And nothing grabs a first time music buyer chump like a shocking artwork. A detailed handpainted work of art looks way nicer than something made on a computer.
Christopher Powell
because metal is pretty obsessed with aesthetics. Also one of the few genres where most covers connect to the title/lyrics
