Art Appreciation: My Top Favorite Metal Album Artwork/Cover Art Of 2020

My source was looking at the most popular 1000 metal albums (excluding demos and EPs) of the year in question on the RateYourMusic website. I liked more than these but these are the ones that spoke to me the most. I went through all 1000, chose carefully, then went back to my short list and eliminated a few. Surprisingly, there aren't any Mariusz Lewandowski pieces featured here which is unfortunate because like a lot of people I'm quite a fan of his art. List is in order of popularity rather than being ranked by my preference.

1.Ulcerate - Stare Into Death And Be Still
2.Neptunian Maximalism - Éons
3.Black Curse - Endless Wound
4.Testament - Titans Of Creation
5.Cirith Ungol - Forever Black

Best Of 2020!

First 18 in a order as I think its best. Yes in order so my best 18 albums what I can say were best. Really best from all!
Rest in order, just because I am selfish I wanna know what I have listen.

I dont know how to put suxer albums A-Z or Z-A what sucks more, I chose A-Z system so from 369 all was bad, biggest led down is 369 then what I thought was let down but not so bad as that band.

1.Katavasia - Magnus Venator
2.Marko Hietala - Pyre Of The Black Heart
3.Yoth Iria - Under His Sway
4.Trident - Nord
5.Ivanhoe - Blood And Gold
