Things That I Hate and Like
Cover Art: What the fuck is this shit? Christoper Lee? Fucking Lord Saruman made a metal album? Whatttttttt shittttt, can not even. Yes, that’s right; before he died this year in 2015 at the ripe old age of 93 Christoper Lee dabbled in making metal music, providing his epic deep wizard like voice for the …
Cover Art: So this album is another Undead Corporation work titled 海の風、陸の花, which roughly translates to “Sea of wind, land of flowers” according to google and contains covers of Kantai Collection’s in-game music, which is pretty cool. The illustration pictured above is not really the cover of this album but rather the advertising banner that …
Cover Art: I’ll be honest here, I only decided to check this album out because I thought the cover looked pretty cool and partially due to the band/album name; Skelator – Time of the Sword Rulers. Common, TIME OF THE SWORD RULERS, that just screams epic power metal. So we got some some Dracula Castlevania …
Cover Art: This is the first album by Serenity In Murder, a Japanese melo-death metal band which I first discovered a couple months back with their latest album, The Highest Of Dystopia which I thought was pretty damn good so I thought I would check out the rest of their discography. In regards to this …
Cover Art: At The Gates is one of the early pioneers of the Swedish Gothenburg melodic death metal sound in the early 90’s which pretty much helped spawn an entire sub genre of death metal. I was actually surprised when I saw this album up for DL, I had long known that the band had …
Cover Art: This is a pretty cool looking album cover. So we got some unchained demon blasting through some planet with debris flying out everywhere into space. Not exactly the most original of ideas but the illustration itself is very well done and detailed. The logo for the band it also looking good, typical iron …
So today is Remembrance Day, commemorating veterans and all of the hard battles fought in wars of long past. In the world of metal there is alot of material about war, specifically world WWI and WWII but it also extends to all wars and fighting in general, which kind of makes sense when you think …
Cover Art: This is supposed to be a melodic death band but their main theme is vikings so technically it falls under viking metal, which is actually a thing and based on that alone, the cover art meets those credentials fairly well. Not actually the most epic of scenes but still nevertheless epic. I wonder …
Cover Art: Nightrage has been around for quite awhile now and they consistently put out solid cover art and consistently good metal. Their past cover art featured among other things, skulls and some bald looking guy, this one is taking cue from the former and it actually feels pretty different than what they usually produce …
Cover Art: I’ve been following ChthoniC for a few years now since I first discovered them with their Takasago Army album in 2011. The cover art for their albums were generally mediocre and standard looking death metal art pre-Takasago Army, filled with scary and spooky looking scenes/grim reapers etc but since that album they really …
