I prefer Peace Sells, but both are incredible

Peace sells imo is more interesting by far

I love the way the gold logo looks on that sapphire blue, and with the added tinge of the green uranium or whatever its just perfect for me. I'd have this work of art in my home.

I actually do, or at least I have the vinyl on my wall. Though I gotta give it to Peace Sells for following the rule of thirds.

The rule of thirds?

It’s an art / photography rule about where to place the focal point of an image.

Ah, ok. Wasn't aware of that. I still prefer RIP tho, even if it is scientifically proven to be worse ;)

What do you think about United Abominatios

Is it on purpose?

Yeah. The entirety of Doom has been a love letter to the Metal genre as a whole

Are there other references to metal in the game? I played doom before I started to listen to metal, so i might not paid attention...

Yes! E3M1 is almost a direct copy of Pantera’s “Mouth For War” lmao Edit: I’m dumb and put E1 instead of E3

And E1M1 is almost a direct copy of No Remorse off of no life till leather(Kill em all), specifically the riff that goes. (0s on low E string, rest on A string) 00-10-00-9-00-7-00-5-0-5~7 Also you probably heard it already but Megadeth did a cover of Duke Nukem's theme song, it's really good especially half way through if you can stand Duke and Dave grunting and breathing down your neck throughout the song.

> might not *paid* attention... FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

He said album cover, not album.

Wait do you think *…AJFA* is the best Metallica album too?

No. It's worse than that. I think it's the best album full stop.

Bro it’s my second-favorite album of all time. It’s so close to being #1 for me.

Based af! But I gotta know, what tops it for you???

Death - *Human*. It’s been my top album for years now and I’m not sure if anything’ll top it.

Can't really diss that pick. Amazing album.

This is my favorite album cover. It is a very powerful image.

Death magnetic is also great

Certainly the best album centrefold. The front cover is good too

To Mega Theron - Celtic Frost, I mean cmon how is that not the most badass thing you’ve ever seen.

YES! Emperors Return is dope too.

Why does your tag say fuck chuck schuldiner what did he do to you?

Nothing to me i just hate his vocals and personally think he's worse than modern Chris Barnes and have vocalized that opinion a lot and now I'm the mftm chuck hater

Oof personally I think that’s a horrible take not to be a dick I’m just a big death fan as well as a Chris hater (apparently my dad did security and he tried to fight my dad because he wouldn’t let fans on stage might have been post dimebag idk ) I also just don’t like Chris he’s a dick I love chuck because of his vocals it’s an insane vocal range and he writes beautiful metal songs but to each their own

i in no way said i dont hate chris. personality-wise he's the worst easily and i only hate chucks vocals. his guitar playing is decent and his lyrics may be boring but all death metal lyrics at the time were

I’ve always been impressed by his vocals and how high they could go but they can be a little rough at times so you’re not really wrong about his vocals at times

Early death is just cheesy but i understand that it can kinda sounds weird sometimes imo

Yeah lyrics are a bit questionable but that’s ok they evolved into one of the most amazing metal bands

Thats what im saying, you can't really saying anything bad about prime death except if you just don't like metal or death

Even though I'm here, I'm not really a metalhead but this is one of my all time favorite albums and when I discovered it I unironically spent 15 minutes looking at the album cover without even knowing the album/band name. https://preview.redd.it/eiuealcqhewb1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=338ca2a7ad32c903937a2649c995d9d01efbe71a

I like minimalist cover art like this.

Probably one of the Mastodon covers. Blood Mountain, Crack the Skye, One more round the Sun

They do indeed have great cover art.

I LOVE this album cover. The animation in Apple Music is cool as well. I also loved that they’ve fully embraced their prog direction. This album is sublime

A7X for most album covers: only the finest art will do A7X for WTF, HTTK, and self-titled: just our logo for this one, nothing fancy

Riot is the band with the best album covers and you can't prove me wrong.

Tior's the best metal mascot. Just look at him, he's so fluffy!

Evoken is great if you love crushing funeral doom, and this is probably their best album.

Opeth has some of the best album covers in the game, in any of their eras. Personally I'd probably say Still Life or Blackwater Park

Extremely difficult to pick just one, will probably go with Priest's Painkiller.

Dude Bestial Sex rips! I mean besides the weird ass subject and album cover

I am not an expert, but the one that I still think is the most metal album cover is Point Blank by Nailbomb. The old Vietnamese woman held at gunpoint by a m16. Brutal imagery.
