Most HILARIOUSLY BAD Metal Album Art!

[@justinwearn620]

You should TOTALLY have fans create bad AI album artwork prompts and you have to guess the genre/prompt

[@forgemastermetal]

lol this is an awesome idea

[@no_problem8023]

….did you guys really not recognize/know Artillery?

[@forgemastermetal]

OMG HOW DID WE NOT KNOW A BAND!?!?!?!??!/1/11

[@no_problem8023]

@@forgemastermetal they’re arguably as important to thrash as the big 4 :/ but yes it’s impossible to know all bands

[@MrLando0]

On that Widow clip did she sing, 'And they take me from behind'? ha! Ragnarok was actually pretty sick.

[@forgemastermetal]

I think so lol

[@griefforest1870]

Check out their album Blackdoor Miracle... One of the worst but hillarious covers in all of Black Metal

[@Pfunkdabomb]

Have you guys not heard of Artillery? Check out the albums "By Inheritance" and "When Death Comes" great power thrash.

[@PeteHawthorne]

I clicked thumbs up on this before the video even started! I knew it was going to be gold!

Open Tomb sounded like a horrible extremely slow paced version of Acid Bath

[@blindmikeguard]

6:52 SAME I THOUGHT IT WAS A PUDDLE TOO lol. And I would love for you 2 to recreate the sol evil cover lmao. Artillery is awesome, definitely huge recommend if you want some killer tech/Prog thrash. Also want to say this series is golden. If you want some More shit album covers definitely I can recommend some bad ones lol Scorpions-Animal Magnetism (or almost every scorpions album cover lol) Boned-Up at the Crack Gamma Ray-Sigh no more Accept-Balls to the Wall Iron Maiden-Dance of Death Dethkorpse-Metal Tit Abruptum-Evil Genius Torment-Bestial Sex Xysma-Yeah

@@forgemastermetal it was genuinely hilarious. Also that Monstrosity album is great

[@ejimenez182]

Metalucifer has a lot of bad artworks but music is fine.

[@hagger0348]

Sronger than ever is the 4 studio album by the band Grave Digger, this album is more of a glam metal album than a speed metal like the 3 predecessors, which was due to the labels at the time. The label wanted the band to jump more on the glam metal hype, after this album Grave Digger disbanded and later returned with the album The Reaper, again as Grave Digger. the only one on Stronger than ever song that still sounded a bit like Grave Digger on this album is Shadows Of The Past

[@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers]

The Sol Evil one is hilarious. Shame the guy seems like a pretty terrible person.

[@mikepenny8940]

Thanks for taking one for the team so we don't have to get blinding seeing this glorious art work,😂😂😂😂

[@Pfunkdabomb]

Here are some recommendations for more bad album art. "A.M.G.O.D" by ... And Oceans, great album but weird artwork. "Terminal Spirit Disease" by At the Gates. Love the band and this album but honestly this album artwork sucks. "Ocean Machine" by Devin Townsend, great album, insanely talented artist, artwork is pretty bad. "As Above So Below" By Forced Entry, pretty good album, really cheesy 90's looking artwork. "Nemesis" by Grip Inc., great fucking band and this album is also sick. But again terrible artwork. "Apophenia" by Hannes Grossmann.

[@Ultra_Lowcrian]

I just heard Artillery for the first time live last night. I wish I had seen this video first so I could have asked about that cover. Another band on the bill I was really entertained by was Savage Master. The singer is diminutive in stature, but she owned the stage with a larger-than-life stage persona that captivated the entire audience with a hooded and caped band behind her. It’s a 2-day event. Tonight I’m looking forward to seeing Jag Panzer, Flotsam & Jetsam, and Cirith Ungol 🤘

[@moilanen6666]

Some nice artwork: Carpe Tenebrum - Mirrored hate painting Stratovarius - Intermission Running Wild - Victory Headhunter -A bizarre gardening accident Primal Fear - Metal commando Stigmata - Solum mente infirmis Squealer - The prophecy Destruction - Them not me Axxis - The big thrill Gamma Ray - Sigh no more Sodom - Til death do us unite Tarot - Follow me into madness

Thanks for the humor, the ability to laugh with each other in this genre is part of what makes it so great.

[@forgemastermetal]

Hahah thanks, man. We've been having fun with this series!

[@rockzilla-666-]

That was fun. Check out the cover from a band called dustsucker and the album another one sucks the dust if you find it. It is funny. And my favorite cover mentors with up the dose. Beautiful tasteless and disgusting. Cheers from germany

[@ROTTENTREATS_X]

The band Hidden Intent have some questionable artwork but their album cover for Dead End Destiny is probably the most questionable

[@jesseleavy5841]

Here's a few for ya. I haven't heard all of these mind you; some of them I've just stumbled across on the internet: Deathcorpz - Metal Tit Keydragon - Drink From The Waters of War Torment - Bestial Sex Abruptum - Evil Genius - more of a well known one, but the cover is SO bad I think it's worth including.

[@beans8130]

Have you guys ever come across frail body? Their new album dropped 29th March & it's maybe album of 2024 (so far) for me It's excellent! Happy Easter (I'm currently listening to Rotting Christ 😂)

[@CraigMader]

GONILOC's Corrupted Cover Art series is also a fun take on this topic

[@matthiasmajoris4029]

For the next video, Enochian - Night Monumental Evil!

[@AvarTyrog]

Ragnarok sounded good

[@forgemastermetal]

I thought so too!

[@cameronhalle1995]

The Open Tomb part had my ass dyinnnn lmfaooo didnt realize you guys are in Rhode Island also. Much love from Pawtucket lol

[@eclat4641]

Even tho some look dodgy, some have good colors/ideas/sounds.

[@1972Diogenes]

The Ragnarok cover was probably inspired by a scene out of Bergman's "7th seal" and Pegazus copied Manowar's early albumcovers (Into Glory ride and Fighting the World). Black Sabbath has some ugly as fuck covers. Born Again, Paranoid and Never say Die. Metal Church too. I've seen my fair share from the 80'ies on. Even one of my favourite bands -Type O negative - went there with "origin of the feces" and "slow deep & hard". It can't all be Dan Seagrave but sometimes you're just speechless.

[@forgemastermetal]

I can totally see the Manowar influence on the Pegazhs cover. Too bad they had an 8 year old draw the cover lmao

[@8523wsxc]

Ragnarok are a real, early Norwegian second wave Black Metal band. And this isn't even their worst album cover. I for one would go with Blackdoor Miracle (2004).

[@forgemastermetal]

Oh there’s room for more in other parts

[@Ardroth]

Man you guys, Ragnarok is legendary stuff, but they are not known for stellar art. Check out "blackdoor miracle" sometime lol. Total ripper of an album with one wild cover I've always hated all the black metal albums that have naked dudes on the covers too... like Gjendod, Goatmoon, Cryfemal, Nunslaughter, LUST, etc... there's literally too many to list but typically it's an instant turn off for me lol Another one is "Geliebte Des Regens" by Nargaroth. Awesome album with god awful low effort art. I wish they would reissue it with all new art because my vinyl copy is embarrassing

[@forgemastermetal]

So what you’re saying is we need to do a “naked dudes on black metal album covers” ranking 😆

[@barsknos]

You forgot White Ward's last album again! :P I really like that album but I REFUSE to buy it cause it's so fucking ugly :D

[@forgemastermetal]

It’s in the list to be done 😜

[@TifformaTemoroner]

That Open Tomb album art is something else... 😄. Also checkout Borg - W.​A​.​O album. Album cover is weird, but the music is pretty rad.

[@forgemastermetal]

Yeah it is haha

[@NicolasAristizabal-rb3ju]

Nice and funny as always 😂😂. Id recommend Refresh the Demon by Annihilator, Ciudad Pacífico by Ekhymosis and Torment by Six Feet Under

[@forgemastermetal]

Thanks for the suggestions!!

[@cosmickeystomycreationandtimes]

That Sol Evil album has Order Of Nine Angles symbolism, which makes it extra cringe.

[@forgemastermetal]

lol I didn’t even notice that

[@4hrsmn645]

Pegazus are actually a quite decent band - chorus on Wings of Steel is epic. I would also put Twisted Tower Dire on the list with awesome music. Crest of the Martyrs is one my all-time favourite albums, but the artwork is so bad

[@forgemastermetal]

I love this series lol, thanks for the addition!

[@samstroberg8533]

"Tulus- Pure Black Energy" is another one

[@forgemastermetal]

lol thanks, we’ll add it to the list for the next one
