Terrible Metal Album Covers XXV

I got a bit of a shock when I opened up my Blogger page today and discovered that I'd had a months worth of page views in a day, courtesy of  http://www.metafilter.com/  and http://dangerousminds.net/  pointing people in the direction of Terrible Metal Album Covers.


 I think the Internet is trying to tell me something.

 So here we go with another batch of album covers that are never going to be in any coffee-table books. Not unless the title includes the words "Shite", "Wank" or "Drawn by a chimp" at any rate.

Please note that  Terrible album cover   Terrible band. 

  Chaos Injected (Finland 2016)

   I've had dreams like this.
The inside of my head frightens me.   

 

 AB Band - Grizzly (Cz. Rep. 2010)

  I'd love to hear somebody explain the symbolism of this to me. 
Or just tell me what the artist was taking that day and why he hates bears so much. 


Andromeda - Vol. 1 (Spain 2013)

Oh God..the tentacles.
Oh God.. those are teeth!
Oh dear gods..are those hands trying to climb out of the mouth?

Moving on...

 Alchemist - Damnation (Cz. Rep 2014)

  
 Oh great. Not helping my budding phobia about giant teeth. 

It's like Lowry had a mental breakdown and hated the world.

On an unrelated note, finding info on the band would have been easier if 
I hadn't had to trawl through the hundreds of bands named "Damnation"
Just saying.  


Can the next one be less nightmare inducing please? 


 Dofka- Toxic Wasteland (USA 1990)

 Radiation apparently makes your body proportions go all wonky. 
He may be mutating into a strange mutant that's Half Man, Half Runner Bean 



 Insane - Wait And Pray (Italy 2005)

  Not that bad but only in comparison to the others. 
I will, however,  point out that it took me three goes before I realised the logo didn't say "Inane"


Master - Maniac Party (Russia 1994)

  There's so much going on in this cover and nearly all of it is just wrong. 

  And finally...

 Split Heaven - Street Law (Mexico 2011)

   Take your eyes off the boobs for a minute. 
Just do it, OK?
Now notice how out of proportion the rest of her is. 
If you look carefully, there's two ...goblin.man things... on there as well.
What do you mean "Where?" They're right there!
Have you even noticed the guy under the bench?
Or the damn-near unreadable logo?
Or anything at all in fact? 

Oh sod it. I give up and I'm off to watch Pirate Metal vids on Youtube.   

That's all folks.

  1. What you're saying is completely true. I know that everybody must say the same thing, but I just think that you put it in a way that everyone can understand. I'm sure you'll reach so many people with what you've got to say.
