Who does the best cd in terms of looks? In your opinion of course..

I just wanted to know who you guys thought did the best looking cds. I would say "Artwork" but not all of its drawn in.....althougth I guess you could consider actually pictures being art....blah blah blah, whatever. You guys get the point *phew*

My fav would have to be Cradle Of Filth, I just love 'em, especially with From the Cradle To Enslave(and that videos awesome!) and then on.
Other notables.....Dimmu Borgir, Nothingface (for the serial killer lookin lyrics in "Violence") The Berzerker, Meshuggah, Iced Earth, Fear Factory and I liked the Haunted's cd book, for the little exacto knife points and the receipt. Who do you guys like?

I believe there's still a thread open regarding CD artwork...

Opeth, Vintersorg, Morbid Angel.

Opeth have some beautiful gothic looking artwork. i also really dig the artwork of Morbid Angel - Gateways to Annihilation, that whole thing is just simply brilliant. Desrtoyer 666 - Phoenix Rising is somewhat outstanding too

Bolt Thrower - Honour Valour Pride : the four-fold deluxe digipack version is awesome.

Immolation - Failures for gods : the cover is magic.

Other than that I like a lot of artwork but nothing is really special, allthough the bible version of God Hates us All was pretty neat.

It's funny, most people that i know think it's a really cool cover, but i really didn't find nothing very "attractive" about it. Probably just me though.

Heartwork by Carcass and Reign In Blood by Slayer are my favorites. And all of My Dying Bride's covers are pretty good as well.

Yeah, that was the 'Wake up and smell the Carcass' compilation thing. Worth it alone for the ultra rough version of 'Exhume to Consume' at the end...

The last Katatonia was nice, and I like anything with a Joey Petagno cover on it.

All of Emperor's covers set a precedent in terms of art I think.

Immortals Battle in the North. Ok, it wasnt a great cover. But the all white cd made a bold statement that no other band had.

Satyricon has also raised the bar in terms of art.

the artwork on the front of Pig Destroyer's "Prowler In The Yard" is fucking great. What's better than a guy sitting in a room with blood splattered everywhere, limbs hanging from chains, and a schizo cutting his own leg off with a hacksaw. Plus there's a bad ass story type thing in the back of the booklet that's pretty creepy, also. Anyone seen the new Lord Gore cover? "Authophagous Orgy" or something like that, that's so disturbing it's worth a mention.

Cheers,

xx

BEST ARTWORK ON ALBUM

I WOULD HAVE TO SAY, THAT THERE ARE TO MANY TO SAY ONE IS THE BEST.
PERSONALLY, I LIKE METALLICA'S MASTER OF PUPPETS BECAUSE IT IS A PORTRAIT OF DEATH IN, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY A MELODIC SENSE, AND IT ALSO SHOWS THAT THE SOLDIERS LIVES BELONG TO SOMEONE OTHER THAN THEMSELVES, IT JUST LOOKS COOL.
ALSO SLAYER-HELL AWAITS, C'MON, IN TERMS OF HELL, WHO CAN BEAT DEMONS RAPING WOMAN AND RIPPING HER INNARDS OUT OF HER CUNT!
