So I thought this might make for a good thread. List what you think are the best album covers metal has to offer, be it any subgenre. I was thinking that perhaps it should be limited to 3 images at a time for each post since it would be easy to go way overboard.
Try and use pics smaller than like 500 x 500 pixels as well or else it won't work very well..

EMPEROR - In the Nightside Eclipse
Very majestic and epic...

IRON MAIDEN - Killers
Nearly impossible to choose just one Eddie cover but here's my favourite

ABSURD - Facta Loquuntur
Amazing painting of Thor used here, though it has to be quite small

Other favourites:
SLAYER - Reign In Blood
IRON MAIDEN - The Number of the Beast
DESTRUCTION - Sentence of Death EP
SARCOFAGO - INRI
MERCYFUL FATE - Don't Break the Oath
DEATH - Spiritual Healing

and many more...

No I meant album cover artwork, though I suppose cover songs would work well for a thread too…

I know what the sickest album cover is - the posthumous album from Mayhem where Dead's suicide is on the cover.

Varg always picks really cool stuff. Can't go wrong with Travis Smith's creations either, always fit the music inside.
