Honestly I'm just impressed someone decided the frog dude was perfect for a Black Metal cover.

all their lyrics are a mix of christianity, new age esotericism (their CDbaby lists them as "Spiritual") and conspiracy theories, and their youtube channel now features videos like "The CHESTER BENNINGTON/ CORNELL MURDER COVER-UP" ( https://www.youtube.com/user/redskies001/videos )... okaaaay.

These memes in a Grind Core CD cover would be perfect instead. Black Metal it's still a serious business in some countries.

^Agreed. Having a BM pepe just about covers every stereotype of black metallers as neckbeards :P

They're all slightly charming in their naivete as far as I'm concerned.

Metallica are the classic example of how things invariably go pear-shaped when they're done by (corporate) committee.

Sorry mate, but no way this is an atrocity. Hetfield seems so cool in this pic and the idea of M-lightning trying kill him is particular.

I used this pic for my 40° birthday invitation cards, so figured it a bit... :-D

We finnish people like kind of a deranged sense of humour, and I think that cover with that album title is a good example of that. One of the greatest finnish metal albums BTW, you should also try Prestige and Dethrone!

Here is also an example of finnish humour; you may not get it, but here in Finland this is quite hilarious:

no argument on the covers, but they are both good albums (LW is a bit cheesy, but still quite catchy). give them a listen! \m/

the LeatherWolf might be good as well, but I haven't really bothered with them after Street Ready...
