the other thread gave me the idea of doing the opposite. Put the most craptastic album covers you've ever seen, Metal or not. Here's one to start

I honestly have no clue just what the fuck that is supposed to be.

God! That Battleaxe cover is horrendous! :lol: I think this has been done here before, but these are always good choices:

Image
(Great album, though. Total cheese!)

Image
(My all-time favorite band, but...laaaaame.)

Image
(Come on! This is lame. I remember when they showed the band first seeing the cover and them gushing over it. Pffft! Lame.)

And I'm spent...

Stormbringer's cover is cool, and ...in Rock and Machine Head have acceptable ones.

@ traveler in stygian:

The nanowar cover is supposed to be a joke... it's supposed to be bad. Therefore it isn't bad!

I know it's a joke and I think it's a bad one. So therefore I added it here. It's so bad that it's SO bad. They could've done with real people much better to be a "real joke". I probably could've explained that a bit clearer, but don't mind me. I'm very tired. :D

Yeah gotta admit, most of Purple's covers are pretty meaningless or bad. But somehow I kinda like the cover for Rapture of the Deep. It's got a message I think. Plus it's a great comeback from what Go Bananas was.

Yes, the Exodus cover is weird. But I don't think it's all that bad. ANd yeah, Europe's one is gay, wait, they've always been gay. Manowar fails to stop me from laughin. THey look more like cavemen. WHat were they thinking?!

Anthrax's Stomp 442 Is just dreadful

Yep. No one needs some guy's bare white ass on their cover. It was done by Storm Thorgerson who's normally good. The mind boggles at what quality control breakdown went down there.

I hate how euro-metal bands seem to insist on having completely souless CGI covers, particularly Nuclear Blast bands. At least some of the other covers had you know, a guy drawing them.
