Hehe. This'll be a cool thread to see unravel. Not a bad idea (although I saw it first in Guitar One).
Well, "Prowler In The Yard" as well as most Pig Destroyer's albums have good covers. Disturbing and gory. I'd have to say most bands of death metal and grind have cool album covers. Mortician has to get recognition. Slayer's "Reign In Blood" is not just a great album, but the cover is fucking awesome. The imagery of hell, and satan, and all of that shit is just the epitome of the dark and twisted metal scene. I've seen too many kickass death metal album covers, though. So it'd be damn hard to pick one. But "Reign In Blood" just may get my vote -- if not a random death/grind CD.

Megadeth- Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?

I also really like Cannibal Corpse- Butchered at Birth. Those are a couple of good covers. All of Megadeth's old album covers were neat (except for the cheesy first one, Vic's first appearance), but you should check out the covers for their singles. Those are great.

This is a hard one.

•Megadeth-Peace Sells............But Who's Buying?
•Impaled-The Dead Shall Remain Dead (It looks so real. Sean is a great effects guy)
•Mortician-Chainsaw Dissmemberment
•Mortician-Darkest Day Of Horror
•Hemdale-Rad Jackson (Come on Zombies cuddling with puppies and kitties!)
•Cannibal Corpse-Tomb Of The Mutilated
•Cannibal Corpse-Butchered At Birth
•Engorged-Where Monsters Dwell (Cool comic book art)
•Ghoul-Maniaxe (It's like a poster for an old B-Movie)
•Slayer-Reign In Blood
•Slayer-Hell Awaits
•Dying Fetus-Destroy The Opposision
•Torsofuck-Exotic Diareha Fantasy (Just because it's so gross)


Probably some more but I can't think of any right now.

and here is my post from my old thread.

Does anybody know what is going on in the Lunar strain cover? What are those weird red things? i never knew, but always thought it looked cool


and i repeat the question at the end as well because no one ever replied. or its just that no one knows.
