Nothing will ever beat Turn Loose the Swans IMOSmile, but the cover artwork for the new one is absolutely stunning I agree.

slightly off topic, but is there a bad meshuggah cover at all?

I dislike a lot of what has been posted, but some are very good (like the above). I especially like the covers that don't try to look like metal album covers (like the above).

One of my favourites:

Personally, I hate most modern computer-drawn metal album covers.  Give me the hand-painted stuff any day.  (Same goes for prog album covers.)


Utterly evil.


Okay, not actually a metal album...I know!  Still, love the mysteriousness of this cover.


I don't care if it's filled with Orcs, I want to live here.

Some classics:

Metallica- Master of Puppets


King Diamond- Them


Slayer- South of Heaven


I'll add more when I can think of them.  Most of my metal albums are at my parent's house, and my memory is failing me.
