My Top 10 Heavy Metal Album Covers

[@elstoxictrace6176]

Man Genesis XIX, Future world, Annihilation principle and that jungle rot as well wicked art work. All killer man.

[@marc.g.with.a.c.]

The way you’re talking about the art so lovingly, you’d think you were an artist or something… oh wait… er, lol! Good call with the ‘Meat Loaf’ cover, I’ve always loved it too! The ‘Jungle Rot’ cover is by far the best album cover I’ve seen in recent years!! Good to see you Scott!🤘🏻

[@therockscout8465]

Yeah a piss artist! 😜 even those two you mentioned are at complete opposite ends of the spectrum musically but do the exact same thing which is sell you the album before you’ve heard a note of it. Cheers Marc! 🤘🍻🍻

[@ClarkOVision]

Love the Sodom one.... and Pretty Maids, Armoured Saint... and the jungle Rot one is interesting. I remember seeing it first over at Marc G's.

[@chadkenzie78]

Great response! That Sodom album cover is pretty damn good. I have never heard of Razor Baby, but I love the comic book look of the cover, awesome. Both Painkiller and Bat Out Of Hell are iconic covers I think, and for good reason. Good stuff Scott.

[@therockscout8465]

Razor baby are a mix of hard rock and metal with a few guest musicians and vocalists, I really enjoy it. Cheers Chad!

[@GRockVC]

Good response there Scott. the Sodom is ace. Pretty Maids looks much better on vinyl then CD. Agreed with Jungle Rot the cover made me checkout the album when I saw it.

[@big_burly_bro]

That Razor Baby album cover is an absolute winner.

[@therockscout8465]

Totally agree Eric! That would sell the album to me straight off the bat, even it was a psychedelic jazz fusion country album I’d buy it just to frame!

[@pieface8032]

I do like that Jungle Rot cover art, their album before that one, 'Order Shall Prevail' is a killer death metal album. Never really looked at the Meatloaf album art as closely until now, it is really good! 🍻🤘🏻

[@therockscout8465]

Meat loaf was an album cover I’ve been looking at since I was young it’s always been a favourite, and will always be up there.

[@metalmogul]

Not only did you pick some fantastic covers you picked some fantastic albums as well. Not heard of razor baby before, great cover that as is the Jungle Rot! Great video mate.

[@therockscout8465]

I’ve actually not listened to Razor baby for at least a couple of years I’m gona leave that one out and reacquaint myself! Cheers Andy, great thread mate, enjoyed this one!

[@This-Is-Music]

Some great picks there. I also like lots of details in cover artwork.

[@therockscout8465]

You need something to look at when the tunes are on! Cheers! 🤘

[@aaronmuthaalamare4165]

Awesome covers! All great ones, I’m with you , that’s my favorite Armored Saint cover, Pretty Maids and Laaz are both 🤘 love Jungle Rot!! Killer video 👍🤘🤘

[@therockscout8465]

Thanks a lot Aaron! I’m glad I could space them out a bit too, although the 80s just did it right! Might have to do a terrible covers thread! 😂

[@sixzerothreeonesevensixnine]

Some great covers here and all very much in a style I favour. It's good to have another 'norm' in camp Contact 😂

[@therockscout8465]

Bright colours and good contrast, fuck the music, that’ll sell it to me 9 times out of 10!

[@metalmartymac]

Fantastic selection of album covers Scott …the Sodom one is amazing Wow never seen that Jungle Rot cover 😳 Excellent Stuff

[@therockscout8465]

Cheers Marty, that Jungle Rot cover is immense, sold it to me without even hearing a note! 🤘

[@seanbeast939]

Genesis XIX is an amazing piece of art. Great selection Scott

[@therockscout8465]

Thanks Sean, it’s a great one for sure and the music matches the cover!

[@mrhoffame]

Awesome picks. I ALMOST pulled that Thunder Steel, but to this day I still can't figure out if it is beyond cool or beyond cheesy to me lol. I just love it. Bat Out Of Hell is classic one I forgot to consider. Jungle Rot always has awesome covers.

[@therockscout8465]

😂 oh come on it must be beyond cool Brandon, the guys got a tank for legs! Lol

[@theblackenedhymnschannel3985]

Cool response Scott, I was nearly going to show that Jungle Rot. This threads are a great bit of fun. Take care bud.👍👍👍

[@therockscout8465]

Thanks Gordon, I’m heading over to your vid right now!

[@rockandmetalplus5248]

Some fookin bangers on show here Scott. The Sodom and jungle rot are awesome. Just uploaded mine as I was watching this. Can't believe I forgot about Bat outta Hell!. Cool video. Cheers 🍻 🤘

[@therockscout8465]

Cheers John! When you get a great cover of a great album you get the full package! Nice one mate I’ll check that out tonight 🤘

[@nwberzerker2355]

Great picks! I always thought bolt thrower had great covers . To many great covers to choose from!

[@therockscout8465]

Yeah bolt thrower have some awesome covers! You’re right with that, I could’ve named far more than 10!

[@JoshKeech]

Great response Scott! Love the Sodom artwork, I've got Decision Day and that artwork is fantastic too! Was gonna film my own video today but I wasn't in the right mood to do it. Hopefully I'll get another chance to make it as I've been loving seeing everyone's responses so far! 🤘😊

[@therockscout8465]

Cheers Josh, would be interesting to see your take on this thread mate!

[@JoshKeech]

@@therockscout8465 welcome man, cheers I hope you'll like it! I picked a lot of graphic design covers for mine. I'll try to film it as soon as I can 😊

[@bvdaussiemetalhead9338]

Yes Jungle Rot is killer 🤘great choices mate.

[@therockscout8465]

Cheers Brendan! 🤘

[@cristianosorio2517]

Hi Scott!!! that's a very cool list, all great records and artwork too.... Nice "surprise" to see Meat Loaf's classic record, and yes Riot is great but ubderrated band! cheers and be well

[@therockscout8465]

I couldn’t leave out meat loaf, I grew up looking at those covers especially the debut and BOOH 2! Cheers Cristian! 🤘

[@albertampel4175]

Great selection of art! Handmade, a good Metal cover has to be handmade. I despise those computer generated "art"works!

[@therockscout8465]

Totally agree Jurgen, the hand drawn stuff from 80s can’t be beaten, a lot now look too manufactured

[@THRASHORBETHRASHED851]

Nice scott great covers indeed great vid mate

[@therockscout8465]

Thanks a lot mate! 🤘

@@therockscout8465 it's fine mate your welcome 👍

[@BeardyRedViking]

Great video Scott, and some absolutely fantastic pieces of artwork in there. I recorded mine a few days ago now, also before watching anybody else's. One of yours MAY have made it into mine! 😂 Cheers! 🤘

[@therockscout8465]

Nice one, look forward to your 10 picks mate!

[@BeardyRedViking]

@@therockscout8465 Cheers! Just went up now! 🤘

[@metaldownunder666]

Some awesome artwork there mate. What style of music is Razor Baby? as i have never heard of them. Totally agree with you on Bat Out Of Hell, Jungle Rot and the Sodom. 😀🤘

[@therockscout8465]

Razor baby are a mix of hard rock/metal, it’s a project with two brothers and they got guest vocalists and musicians in for different tracks so it’s a good mix of stuff. Cheers Nathan, hope you’re well mate!
