Wow, that's even worse. What a mess. Some of the poorest artwork I've ever seen.

Some people really don't get the whole "less is more" thing... Not even Nile and they used that at some point.

Awful... AWFUL artwork.

That's a good example. No noisy, messy overlays to give an impression of "texture" rather instead drawing the detail on for how it should be (though it's probably shopped as well). Clean, simple and effective. Totally unlike this monstrosity.

Especially for one of the biggest names in death metal... then again there's no accounting for taste just because you're a big band.

This one makes the other one look very good in comparison. This is just insane. I can barf prettier things than this artwork. The worst part is that it's the european version. In the case I would like to get this album... It would suck to have this version.

Oh definitely (case in point: Napalm Death's debut artwork which I love) but this is an example when it does NOT work and I think they should have gone to a more simple approach specially considering that In Their Darkened Shrines is pretty elegant.

Detail is fine when you hand draw it because you can make it look like it's supposed to be. This is the extremely lazy way where you just get a random texture off Google, drop it onto the image then play around with the opacity and effects until you get something that looks vaguely ok. It's cheap and it's lazy.

Yes, this artwork looks like 13 layers of dog shit.

Maybe they'll see our hateful comments and change it.

Not offensively bad artwork in my opinion, although it's nothing memorable by any means.

As for the not-so-Egyptian artwork... you've got a point there, Oaken. Only "Slaves of Xul" sounds like a typical Nile track, even if the other tracks are of typical length...

I think it's offensive because it takes the whole photoshop bullshit to a whole new level of laziness and cheapness. Not to mention that this is the embodiment of bad artworks that people nowdays get their panties wet even though it looks like a fucking mess.

The fact that everything down the left and right hand side are the same elements that have just been flipped goes to show how much work has gone into preparing this.
