That IS badass

Is that a real Frazetta or just a very well-done rip-off?

I like it

And I have to make a longer comment.

Nothing will ever beat ‘The Wretched Spawn’. Vincent Locke is the MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry, but the most metal album cover EVER is “Twilight of the Thunder God”. /story.

awesome cover..i cant belive a while back when mcr was really famous and they won a trillion things like best cd cover and it was only a blanck cover with a soildger..and i cant be bothered spelling my words right at the moment =p

Horseguts

thats sickkk!

Real Metaller

That’s ace, but I’ve seen better.

they should do one for most misleading album art. i’d say orchid by opeth

Wow, looks like a painting. Yeah, I’m liking this, but as the other guy up there said… Twilight Of The Thunder God is better :D Nice work though.

the artwork looks cheap and unfinished. the composition is a nightmare. whoever painted that is a noob and metal hammer has bad taste in art.
