Album covers/artworks (non-Maiden) that you consider good or even great

I personally really like album covers such as those:

Fantasy, ancient and with a warrior... covers that can make you ''feel'' the setting. There are so many great metal album covers out there.

Speaking of which, a similar cover with a wizard and details like forest/mountains/castle/lake would be quite suitable for a solo album of Bruce imo.

The problem is that I would have to dig deep to find out if ever a similar thread had been done before...

Anyway.

I personally reeeeaaaallllllly like the cover artworks from Cathedral, a band from Coventry, England. Plus interesting band by themselves also. There's a lot to disccover. In their artworks and in their music.

Extreme metal isn't really in my book as well, but Cathedral are a bit of an exception. Anyway, I listen to them once in a three years or so, and it definitely takes a certain mood. Certainly not the stuff for the morning cup of tea to get into the day.
Want some advice? There is a band from Richmond/VA named SHY, LOW. They're post rock instrumental. VERY melodic. They're brilliant musicians.

Do yourself a favour and give them a listen. I myself LOVE what they are doing, I simply ADORE it. You Tube search words:

-Shy Low Little Elephant Saudade
-Shy Low Little Elephant Nostos
-Shy Low Little Elephant Times Gone By

(Little Elephant is the name of a channel, they have plenty of unknown but great bands on their schedules)

Thanks for the recommendation @Dick Brucinson ! Melody is indeed the keyword in every music style I like and now listening to this:

This one was first a bit hard to get into for me, but the EP they released before ("The Burning Day") is FUCKING BRILLIANT! It has two songs on it only, you'll find them also via YT easily, song titles: "Dissension" and "Dialectics". AWESOME!!!! And they promote that EP in a raunchy US club named The Meatlocker, searchwords: "Shy Low Meatlocker". Enjoy.

They´re indeed on the line up of the Samhain Festival with alot of Unknown bands for me. Might be interesting though, thx for the info! :)

I'm glad in case this might be a helpful info to you. :)
Speaking about unknown bands in general, a few more words about the "Little Elephant" channel:
I'm checking their bands a lot these days. As they have so many interesting unknown bands (all non-Metal) this takes time, but to name two more at this point:
The Smiths Street Band. Their song named "The Arrogance Of The Drunk Pedestrian" somehow hooked on me. They seem interesting and I'm curious what else they came up with yet.
Kingmaker. It's an extreme HC band and I really like them (however, their concept is absolutely zero melodic and they don't even come close to any kind of melody). They had two appearances on Little Elephant yet, each time with a different "singer". Both great in their own way and style ("Serpent Song", "Brain Burner"... And everything else they do :D ).
Anyway, the guy who organizes that channel seems to be very sensitive to great unknown ("great unknown"!!! :D ) bands.

Oh, and one more thing (has nothing to do with Little Elephant):

Have you ever checked out the greatest German band yet?
Not the Scorpions. Not Rammstein.
But an Indie-Pop band named THE NOTWIST. Markus Acher has such a fascinating voice. They usually take a lot of time beween the making of two albums, so they're really worked out in the end, full of small details. And as each album by them marks a bit of a new direction, they have changed allover the years.

Let me name you my ten favourite songs by The Notwist, I'll do it chronologically, each is more beautiful than the other:

-Seasons (1989)
-One Dark Love Poem (1992)
-Noah (1995)
-Pick Up The Phone (2001)
-Consequence (2001)
-Boneless (2008)
-Signals (2014)
-Casino (2014)
-Seven Hour Drive (2014)
-Lineri (2014)
