Best album covers - Page 2

I know I'm biased as a Juggalo but I've always had a thing for some of the album covers the various psychopathic artists have...

Like Independent's Day.

I don't care who you are, that is fresh.

The calm is also pretty cool in my eyes.

Oh yeah, and DJ Clay has some dope covers for his mixtapes.

I always like Ensiferum's covers:

Heroïsm, battles, paganism, folk stories - it all comes storming into your mind the very second you see this cover. There's no better pic to go with the album's title "Victory Songs".

Korpiklaani - Karkelo

Warm, cosy, nostalgic setting. Storytellings on a cold winter's night, while sitting near the campfire with a good glass of Vodka (which happens to be a single from this album)

Eluveitie - Spirit

A pagan, nostalgic theme. About ancient, lost times. Celtic.
This cover too fits the album theme perfectly. Eluveitie's music is about the Gauls, with their lyrics often in Gaulish too.

Amon Amarth - With Oden on our Side

Simple design, and that's where its strength lays. There's nothing to draw attention away from the band/title and the two pagan symbols (the Valknut and Odin on Sleipnir)

Sirenia - An Elixir for Existence

Beautiful color use. Here too a bit of cosyness. Alcohol

Do I need to say more?

This topic brought back memories from one of my first music shopping experiences. Spotted a cover that featured what look like a huge statue in the middle of a cold, wintry, barren landscape. The statue had 3 heads of some type of big cat. White striped Tigers? Snow Leopards? I never bought it as I was
unfamiliar with the group who's name I can't recall and I never saw the album cover again but it sure stuck with me over the years. I would say it was a rock band from the late 60s or early 70's. Anybody recall seeing this?

Forgot to mention that somebody else was impressed enough with the cover I just described that they had a custom paint job done on their blue van featuring that same cover. I spotted it once a few years after seeing the album cover in the store. Would of loved it if my dad would of turned the car around and give chase but he couldn't understand what the fuss was about.
