What’s going on Butcher Crew?! It’s your Master Butcher, The Saw and I have a very fun and exciting post for you today! I will be listing my top 10 favorite album covers! I think album covers can be a really cool way for bands to show off what ~~vibes~~ they want their record to give off. Depending on the genre (for metal in particular), album covers can show you what type of style a band is. I love it when bands put in a lot of time and effort on the album covers, because visual representation can be very beneficial! My dad, the “OG Metalhead,” told me that when was my age, he would go to the record store and he would find albums with the coolest album cover and band names and buy it. This is how he found new bands and I think that is a really cool way to find different artists to expand your own musical discography.
Let’s get into my top 10 favorite album covers!! This list is in no particular order, these are all equally, badass.
1. Obituary – Inked in Blood (2014)
2. Cannibal Corpse – Eaten Back To Life (1990)
3. Whitechapel – A New Era Of Corruption (2010)
4. Pig Destroyer – Prowler in the Yard (2015)
5. Impaled – The Dead Still Remain Dead (2013)
6. Marilyn Manson – Holly Wood (2000)
7. Cattle Decapitation – The Anthropocene Extinction (2015)
