Altars of Madness is one of the coolest albums covers ever IMO. At one point i even thought of getting a tatoo of it on my back. I still might actually, who knows...

Seagrave is cool but fuck all of his artwork looks the same. StD, And Time Begins, Beneath the Shadows Lie Madness, Gateways to Annihilation are all the same damned scheme.

I like his Erosion of Sanity cover the best, it's like one of the best in death metal.

I like MA's "Covenant" cover a lot. All of em to be exact.

Psycroptic's Scepter also had a cool one, and Atheist have some pretty interesting ones.

True. If you look at the cover of Desecrator [UK] - Subconscious Release, Effigy Of The Forgotten and Nocturnus - The Key, they all have the same little brownish alien-looking thing that is on the cover of Suffocation's latest (in the middle of the big 'S' above the logo where the people are getting impaled on.) The towers on Ressurrection's "Embalmed Existence" and the towers in the back of Effigy are pretty much identical too.

My favorite album cover of all time, however, is Darkthrone - Soulside Journey.

There are so many good ones. I always loved Autopsy's "Retribution for the Dead" cover. Strangely enough, I never liked Autopsy much.
