Metal Storm's Favourite Album Art: Round 4!
300, then 50, then 20. Now 10. We're drawing ever closer to figuring out Metal Storm's collective favorite album artwork!
We've changed the voting scheme around every round so far, how is this one going to work? Well, it's going to be a lot like last round, but instead it's going to be 5 and 5. 5 you like/are ok with/find least reprehensible, and 5 you want to see gone. 5 thumbs up, 5 thumbs down.
In order to have your votes counted, you MUST choose both 5 thumbs down, and 5 thumbs up. If you can only find 1 or 2 you'd give a thumbs up to, then fill out the remainder with the ones you find least ugly.
Here is the top 10:
Alcest - Ecailles de Lune
Amon Amarth - Twilight Of The Thundergod
Amorphis - Skyforger
Cormorant - Dwellings
Immortal - At The Heart Of Winter
Les Discrets - Septembre Et Ses Dernières Pensées
Mastodon - Leviathan
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Swallow The Sun - The Morning Never Came
Vildhjarta - Måsstaden
Tune in on August 22nd for Round 5 when we reveal the final 3!
Remember, only picks PM'd to Doc Godin will be counted.

I don't know Cormorant from the Azerbaijani Women's Weightlifting team, but they easily have my favorite of the remainder. Awesome art is awesome.

I totally support Joe's idea of "worst artwork" ever. That would be far more amusing.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 16.08.2012 at 22:16 That wouldn't even be the worst by a long shot. Just looking at my vinyl collection there must be at least 50 worse covers in there than that atrocity

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 16.08.2012 at 22:20 Which is exactly the main reason why we have to try it! There's an insane amount of buttugly artwork out there. It will be fun.

That's a fantastic idea, I wonder if you can find something worse than Manowar - Anthology. Now to stay on topic, I'm really surprised Amon Amarth has made it so far. imo that cover is nothing special.

Written by Valentin B on 16.08.2012 at 22:55 Simple, all the AA fanboys and girls voting for it. They and other fanboys/girls as well btw don't want the best cover art to win, they just want their favourite band to win. Simple as that, that is also always the case with all other competitions (talking about fanboys and girls in general now)

And to stay relevant, I think it's fine to have the AA artwork at this stage, not that it's anything special, but it represents what I believe is a significant "school" of metal artworks.

The only problem with a worst cover is, as with this one, obscure artists will not make the initial cut...

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 16.08.2012 at 20:16 The album is really sweet too, although stylistically not anywhere near stuff you guys tend to like.
---- 7.0 means the album is good
