Favorite album cover artwork?

Self-explanatory title.

Mine:
1. Tyranny (For You) - Front 242
My favorite album of all time, but I never would've checked it out if it weren't for that cover. It's just a distorted picture of a swimmer but it reminds me of a deformed fetus or a dying soldier.

2. Dressed to Kill - KISS
Never listened to any of their music on purpose, but I've always liked this photo for some reason.

Here's a link to it. I really am not sure why I like this cover so much but I even want to draw my own version of it =3 It's the cover for the album Sol-Fa by the Japanese band Asian Kung-Fu Generation.

Screaming for vengeance- Judas Priest. Its has this nice  graphic look to it. Hard to explain. I kindoff like it very much!

I've seen that art style before but can't remember what it's called.

The albums Turbolover and Defenders of the Faith have the same look. Also Black Sabbath's album "Technical Ecstasy" has a simmilar style.

Defenders of The Faith is slightly different but yeah they do. I'm pretty sure they're in one of those art styles they make you learn about in school... something to do with the 1920s I think.

On the topic of Judas Priest, the art for British Steel is pretty neat.

I also also ike the hell bent for leather cover. It kindoff has the "fear and loathing in las vegas" feel to it.

Kind of a weird picture but yes.

Here are my top 5 favorite abstract metal album covers. Just looking at them in a first glance can really give the viewer a sense of view of how the music can come out to be, providing a sense of an epic journey lying ahead:

1. Sonic Syndicate - "We Rule The Night"

2. Made Of Hate - "Pathogen"

3. Into Eternity - "The Scattering Of Ashes"

4. Wintersun - "Wintersun"

5. Black Veil Brides - "We Stitch These Wounds"

I like the Pathogen one.

I know right? It's very eye-catching.

This one song here is one of the most popular songs off of that album too: m.youtube.com/watch?v=JCukiNuM…

I forgot, all the Therapy? Troublegum art
