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

Yes, and it's a contender for their best album too.

I´ve found this page:
There is quite a good compilation of dark artwork
from several bands (some of them included in PA).
It may be worth checking  |

Look up a fella named Dan Seagrave. He did some fantastic death metal sleeves in the late '80s to early '90s, starting with Morbid Angel's Altars Of Madness.

modern metal does have the most intricate covers, some on a par with the classic psych posters of the 60s, though it's in danger of becoming common now as 90% of contemporary metal has the same kind of gnarled illustrations and illegible titles
