Did you know it was going to be such a shit cover before you posed for it?

This is why I hate the search function on here. I searched +shit +album +covers and it came back with 3000+ responses for covers, saying it was ignoring the words shit and album... So had to trawl... fortunately not too long as this had been fairly recent. What am I doing wrong?

Anyway, as advertised in this months Metal Hammer and being bigged up by Mille Petrozza:

Gay.

Super gay.



In french, for extra gayness.

Sorry doomo, there are certain sleeves I never want to see ever again in a list of bad cover art, and those last three are included. Nobody knows anything about those albums except that they were chosen to represent bad sleeve art on newsgroups in the mid 90s and people have been reeling them off ever since despite the fact that they're entirely inoffensive and at worst homo-erotically amusing.

However, that Boned one made me chuckle

That's a great fucking cover.

He should be the new pope.

and my favourite:

Blimy, I'd completely forgotten about Falchion. I seem to remember I used to like them back in 2006/7. Didn't they share members with Korpiklaani or someone like that?

I love that the Diadema Tristis album is called "Ways of Relief". The combination of that title with goats-on-the-stairs seems like it almost makes sense in a way that I just can't grasp.

I think they're llamas.

For the shepherd with the larger... appetite.

For relief?

Actually, I think they're alpacas, innit.

Anni, what's that BM one with the naked fat guy with the gun in his mouth?
