Such a great fucking album, and the cover is actually perfect for it.  And i'll have nothing bad said about the cover to Heavy Metal Ninja either

Heard heavy metal brain drill on a fenriz playlist a few days ago. And that intro melodys been stuck in my head since.

I love it so I almost don't want bring it up, but surprised dark medieval times hasn't been mentioned. Bought the reissue vinyl and was disappointed it didn't have the original hand drawn art. Would have preferred the dodgy looking horse

There was a bootleg LP released a year or two ago with the original artwork. Looks great and sounds great and came with a cool poster. Worth picking up.

I won't stand for any Metalucifer slander, this cover is perfect.

IDK, I think any Cathedral album is worse than this

That's mental. Dave Patchett is one of the greatest album artists of all time, and in fact is a very underrated artist in general.

Yeah I really like all his stuff he's did for them aswell especially The Carnival Bizarre's cover

[Mower Liberation Front]

Every time Helloween go "Let's get Martin Hausler to make a CGI cover for the album", you know it's going to be complete and utter shit.

When you expand the booklet to see the full thing - chef's kiss.

Huge ACDC fan here but over the years they have had some shit album covers

[Bürggermeister]

Reinventing is shockingly bad on the artwork front

Surprised no one mentioned the cat one ->

To prove there's a very fine line between clever and stupid... same year, pretty much the same idea, but only one is a classic

I hadn't seen that Crowbar one before, is it  a rerelease cover? Jesus it's shocking. The Thrash Wall one is silly but not too bad, I've seen much worse thrash cover art - some of which you've just posted.

[Thorn]

Same here, where's did that spring from? Looks someone photoshopped Jim Carey onto it. Thrash Wall certainly gets a reprieve.. The Illusions cover is beyond bonkers but they may as well have stuck with it than just stick the band on the cover when they rereleased it as Chemical Exposure.
