The GOOD album cover thread.

Ok since the other thread was locked due to retardedness, I thought I'd open one with some guidelines. Post inspiring and interesting non-metal album covers here. Covers must have some form of visually pleasing artwork, concept or story. And by visually pleasing I of course don't mean happy flowers and rainbows, I just mean they must have some redeeming feature. Discussion about said covers is welcome.

Well, I'll just throw this one up again. One of my favorite album covers (and albums):



By the way, Satanstoenail, love the Kyuss and Sausage album covers.

^Those are awesome! What is the first one? Also, who draws the covers for that Tor Lundvall guy?

EDIT: Never mind, I guess it's Tor himself.

The first one is Sol Invictus - The Blade. Probably my favourite cover art ever not only "non-metal", also one of the best albums ever. :>

The Sausage one has always been a fave. The frustration of drowning in your own bloated body brings the lols every time.

Couple more:

I just realized that I posted metal albums in a non metal album thread. Fuck.
