My Favourite Black Metal Album Covers

[@necrogodmachine]

Hvis Lyset Tar Oss - Burzum Ascetic Meditation of Death - Cult of Fire Phobos Monolith - Mare Cognitum Im Wald - Paysage D'Hiver FAS - Deathspell Omega Blaze in the Northern Sky - Darkthrone

[@PEDROSANTOS-cr7ze]

For me the best is Under A Funeral Moon, even people who don't know black metal can "feel" that black metal spirit just by looking at it

[@LabyrinthusStellarum]

Blut Aus Nord - Disharmonium - Undreamable Abysses. This is definitely the first thing that comes into my mind when i think of the best black metal cover art. When I saw it first time on KZbin, immediately clicked and wasn't disappointed. Amazing cover, amazing album and amazing band

[@Questformetal]

I very almost put blut aus nords memoria vetusta part 1 on here but yeah most their covers are great 🍺

[@Hellenicheavymetal]

Summonings Oath Bound will probably always be my favorite album cover, not just in black metal. Agallochs Marrow of the Spirit comes to mind.

[@sevenroundburst]

Deathspells' Paracletus and Blut Aus Nord's Disharmonium: Nahab are awesome.

[@DarkLxrd]

Absu, Summoning and Inquisition ones are also my favorites. Dissection too, that cover is like from an old school dungeon/RPG game :)

[@vishalnagaraj5343]

Darkthrone: A Blaze in the Northern Sky Spectral Lore: III Mgla: Age of Excuse Satyricon: Nemesis Divina Samael: Hegemony Marduk: Opus Nocturne Oranssi Pazuzu: Valonielu Immortal: Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism Judas Iscariot: Of Great Eternity

[@volin_d]

Goatmoon - Witchking is definitely one of the album covers of all time

[@JB-wh9ux]

Yepyepyep, Dawg’s faaaaaaaaaaaave.

Behemoth- The Satanist Akhlys- The Dreaming Gevurah-hallelujah Begerith- A.D.A.M. Kampfar- Profan Necrophobic- Mark of the Necrogram Ghostbath-Moonlover Schammasch- Contradiction WittR- Thrice Woven Watain- Lawless Darkness I'm just a sucker for Denis Forkas.

[@sykoosi]

Paracletus, Fallen Angel of Doom, Cruelty and the Beast, Deathcrush, V Halmstad, !In the Sign of Evil!

[@loganbentz]

yoo another deathspell omega fan lets go!

[@sykoosi]

@@loganbentz🤘Yes! also a big fan of the cover artist Timo Ketola R.I.P

[@martinnapier6286]

My favourites would be Cradle Of Filth - Midian. Saor - Any album Really Aquilus - Griseus/Bellum 1 Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas Stormkeep - Tales Of Other time Lord Belial - Enter The Moonlight Gate Ulver - Nattens Madrigal

[@Questformetal]

Love most of them too especially the aquilus ones

[@aaroncoroner5915]

Good call on the Dissection being the best, my favorite is Blizzard Beasts by Immortal, the album that got me INTO Black Metal. It's just the band, but not in fake poses, it's blurry, like they're standing IN the Blizzard. I also like My Arms Your Hease's cover, not stictly Black Metal I know but...I was also surprised that there was no Emperor on your list. Cheers!

[@domfabio8850]

Gris - Il était une forét... is probs my fave black metal cover art. for other metal, the cover for God's Country by Chat Pile was what got me to listen to the album, and thankfully the music is just as amazing. some real good sludge metal/noise rock type shit.

[@GioDvanny]

Anything from Mare Cognitum, enough said.

[@Stefan979-]

A Blaze In The Northern Sky Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam(mid album,goated cover) Armor Esoteric Warfare Grom Let The Devil In Minas Morgul Panzer Division Marduk! Soulblight The Return... We Are The Apocalypse The second Dissection album might have the best 90's BM album art. The Inquisition one is quite wicked as well. Filosofem and Blood Fire Death,nice choices.

[@chuckmillsap3169]

Stormkeep - Tales of Othertime

[@m4sh666]

Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism!

[@PortugueseMACPOW]

I never liked Panzer Division Marduk. War themes to me are better suited for Thrash. A proper Black Metal art to me is anything Sargeist and Mutiilation did

[@diegoborges3716]

Dawn of the Black Hearts....just kidding, lol. Dusk and Her Embrace and Cruelty and the Beast by Cradle of Filth are cover arts that I think are pretty iconic and evocative of the sounds we hear in the albuns.

[@kulbaba5393]

Like cause of Drudkh abd Nokturnal Mortum

[@SlipperyRat]

I agree with Blood Fire Death and Filosophem but I actually prefer the alternate cover for Blood in our Wells. The alternate cover with the haunted mansion for Nokturnal Mortum's - To Lunar Poetry is also fantastic, it just fits the atmosphere perfectly. Also the main cover for that album is amazing

[@Questformetal]

Do enjoy both the covers for drudkh as well both fantastic

[@tomasjonsson7141]

Transilvanian hunger 🐐🐐🐐

[@jaytracks]

Celtic frost to mega therion is baddass

[@elfensteen5222]

[@The_Director_]

Questy put the ulver one there because he’s a furry
