These are atrocious...

I got as far as Mike Terry, Region, and then I stopped. Worst thing that I have ever seen, and it looked as though that piano had real ivory keys.

Manowar looks like some gay German porn stars.

Here are some bad ones.






Oh, man. I just saw the Jim Post "I Love My Life" cover. That is hilarious. I think I'll start a best album covers thread.

Mayhem's "Dawn of the Black Hearts"


And that's not just an fictional picture. It was based on an actual photograph of the body of Mayhem's guitarist Dead (ironic name huh?) after he committed suicide with a shotgun. The photograph was taken by the singer Euronymous after which he ate the brain of Dead and made a necklace of his skull fragments. Euronymous was later killed by bassist Varg Vikernes who went to prison and is still in prison until he will be released later this year. Varg still makes albums in prison under the band name "Burzum" but its weird atmospheric dark moody stuff. Good stuff.

so I guess they cut the album before Dead did the cover? no?

That would be my guess. They could have always just have someone else do the guitars int he studio. Pretty fucked up though. And when Mayhem wasn't making black metal albums they were burning historic 500 year old churches in Norway lol.

My God, EL-Diablo( excuse the hashed metaphor)

Don't you know that atrocious picture will get you censored in the U.S.? May even get you black listed in Florida. <smile>

i would love to hear this album

You gotta play it backwards

Oh, so many albums to choose from out there!:

Isn't this "priceless"?!
