…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!

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

Rising is such an iconic and pure metal cover, bring on the fantasy! Screaming For Vengeance is so captivating, I guess because of the colors and the (metallic) eagle. Somehow eagles on a metal cover always work. A Day At The Races looks like a coat of arms, so it's noticeable.
I've never been a fan of the Killing Machine cover. Technical Ecstasy is weird.

That Enchant cover looks like something Azas came up with. Key difference (and the reason I voted for it) is that gorgeous backdrop which AI cannot generate.

Helloween’s album is just as much a contender to win the whole game as Mirror Reaper was. I bought the vinyl solely on the back of that cover (still need to spin it).
I was gonna give Sad Wings two points but then I took a really good look at it and… it’s not that great. It’s fine but it really isn’t one of their best covers. Symphony X meanwhile have a really cool medieval vibe going on while Axel’s is kitschy but dark and imposing and I’m digging it. Both better than Priest’s.
