Album Cover Art Cup - ROUND 1 (Ladder 14)

[MindRuler]

Relayer´s colour palette is gorgeous! Truly one of their best. And they have some horrible ones.

…and your vote is…? Is your vote…? And… 3 points go to… 2 points go to… 1 point goes to… You forgot to vote! Or are you giving us a signal that the damn abstractionists have taken you hostage? Please vote—we’ll know you’re all right (or all left, for that matter). Just write something. We’re worried about you!

 

[MindRuler]

We´re getting close to the end of Round 1 and I´m close to leaving for a holiday at the end of next week. The combination of those two will result in posting the 3 remaining ladders all at once.
Stay tuned folks!

Some iconic covers on this one!
Sabbaths elevator robots never were my cup of tea though.
And Killing Machine isn´t my favourite Priest cover either, abit underwhelming.

The Rising artwork is a classic, Vengeance is pure screaming energy, and Ecstasy has always grabbed my attention
