Not sure about that, Powerslave, SIT, BNW as examples certainly wouldn`t suggest that, X Factor is an odd one though.

That's why I said most of the time. IM, KS, NOTB, POM, LAD, NPFTD, FOTD, TXF, TBOS and SJ (not including various singles) could all feasibly pass as death metal sleeves. Or thrash metal perhaps. The point is, the aggressiveness and frequent horror element of their artwork wouldn't match the music to an outsider.
I always assumed they were a much heavier band before I'd ever heard them just based off of the artwork.

When I saw them live fans were singing the songs word for word louder than the band themselves, everyone fully invested in the music, so when you get people gatekeeping and trying to say no one sees Ghost for the music that's just plain wrong.

Metal has a large element that only really listen to Metal because it's a niche genre, therefore when a band is actually popular it triggers them. There's a film that was on netflix a while back, I think it was called Metal Lords, it was a fairly shit film, but one of the characters was one of these more metal-than-thou types and it really nailed how unlikeable these sort of pricks are.

I would agree that some of the artwork might suggest heavier music than it actually is but still not Death Metal. I suppose an outsider with no idea of the Eddie story and how he changes to suit the record theme could be caught out.

TBOS cover art is never Death Metal material and i always thought IM was a bit too comedic of an Eddie.

It has Satan on it though so it sort of counts.
