Favorite Artwork

I tried searching for a thread on the same but couldn't find anything so we'll have to make do with a new one I suppose

As we all concur, the album artwork is quite an essential element of a band's output especially while picking out a relatively obscure band in a record shop down the street.

So lets use this thread to share some of your favorite album art from past and present.

I'll start off with one from Opeth's early days. There was always something which struck me about this album art when I checked this CD out all those years back and it still is one of my favorite artworks.

Although it's very hard to choose just one. This is the first thing to come to mind.

There was one almost five years ago, so it was time for a new one anyway.

Such a beautiful cover. I want to find a high quality print to frame and put in my house whenever I reach that stage in my life.

This cover also always seems to do it for me. I grew up by the ocean so that maybe it.

Eaten Back to Life is one of my favorites. Gory as fuck but in a comic book style so it isn't too disturbing.
