This topic has already gone off-topic, but whatever...
Arthur: Hah, I seriously thought that was just a joke image for an imaginery band!

...I still can't believe it's "real"... or maybe for a gospel band! 8) They might do something this untasty. But ok, like u said, it might have taken a lot of time to mix that all out and especially since u say it's ur first; it's a good for a photoshopped image, but for an actual cover no no.
The name sounded like one of those lets-make-fun-of-power-metal-bands, but I got used to it pretty quick and found it quite cool!

Oh, and I thought the "Demo 2005" text was placed alright
BTW who is this "Arthur"?! I don't remember ever seeing you before? One of those namechangers I guess... :?
"Opeth font": it's not. MANY up n' coming power metal/gothic bands etc. use this font. It's one of the more common ones.
Eyesore: I actually liked the LowBuz cover! Although it had totally different style than your suggestions (gothic style), but I liked the colors and the overall effect so to speak

(that is if they play generic rock...)
I agree with the Slaves For Scores logo gradient being too "sticked on" looking. I also agree to get rid of the gradient and/or apply some more grainy ie. looking effect on it. But the colors were cool. And I agree with YOU that the gilded logo matches perfectly with the green cover! Although overall it wouldn't be that cool and this way the child gargoyle becomes too, hmm.. intimidating :shock:
