Ten bizarre album covers Pt. 2 (Gallery)

We, here at Deluxe FM don't listen to heavy metal, but we do enjoy seeing the covers. Now, we see and feel is that metal has to be already hard, before the listener puts the needle on the record.

Hardness has to be immediately obvious, its main platform is the cover, which makes it clear (and eeasier to sell) even for those who don't know the artist.

Consistent signs we see: doomsday atmosphere, oiled male bodies, chainsaw, vampires, weird snarls and masks. Don't be put off by the graphics alone, sometimes it's worth reading text too, because the titles speak for themselves.
