The objective is to demonstrate what can go wrong when the artistic vision of the band runs headfirst into the artistic ability of the artist and the result is a steaming pile of disaster, leaking fluids and the bitter stench of failure.
Please note: Just because the cover is a badly drawn mess does not mean that the band suck. Artists like Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Helloween and Metal Church have all had utter catastrophes plastered on the front of their albums.
Now let's dive in.
Achesete -Manicomio Sin Techo (Spain 2017)
What the fuck is wrong with his face?
Why would anybody choose this mutation to represent their band?
Eezee - Matter Of Attitude (Australia 1993)
The band tries to create their own mascot a la Vic Rattlehead and almost manage to pull it off.
Zephaniah - Stories From The Book of Metal (USA 2006)
Full marks for being ambitious but the end result is, to put it mildly, not pretty
Helloween - Pink Bubbles Go Ape (Germany 1991)
A well-respected band, a major label and a decent budget all combine to create this.
I honestly don't know what Helloween were trying to do, besides highlight how "Wacky" they were.
Good job, boys. Good job.
Impulse - Gladiator - (Bulgaria 1989)
having a musclebound warrior on your cover worked well for Manowar.
Sadly this Bulgaran band decided their guy needed NHS Librarian specs.
And That's All folks
See you next time.
