General album artwork appreciation

[Kalata]

Merch design by HammerFall. Hammer High and I think it looks really cool. I would love to see it expanded more, especially with this castle. Great for both album and single cover. The mix of dark, grey and green works very well.

I think Helloween's 2 Reunion albums arts deserve a praise, not only for the style. The artist Eliran Kantor too. I wonder if he does a full art for each band. Kudos. His Testament cover (Titans Of Creation) from a couple of years ago is epic too. Like perfect metal covers, full of colors, imagination, stories, figures and epic looking.

Maiden, take notes. I'm curios to see Eddie in that style.

^ Beautiful stuff, reminds me of John Martin's epic, apocalyptic style.

The Seventh Plague of Egypt:

Destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum:

Belshazzar's Feast:

His piece The Fallen Angels Entering Pandemonium was used for Angel Witch's debut album.

@MindRuler, I dare to ask… maybe your vacation from the Album Cover Art Cup is over? Maybe you’ve already recuperated? Why wait until next year? Perhaps you’re already itching to start a new round of the game? Just asking for a friend, you know.

The next host is @Vaenyr so it’s up to him.

I could literally nominate any Ahab album cover and it would deserve to go far.

Incredible one too!

Such a shame that everyone on this forum loves their album art and yet few people listen to the music...

The artwork triggers me to discover them.
