my top 10 album covers

The reflection of a mentally `damaged`(?) individual smashing a mirror with their fist. Still not heard the album, but love the cover.

Those ants have the consuming impulse to devour that guy`s face. The image sums up the horror of death metal perfectly.

Eddie in a padded cell, `Piece of Mind` is a great album title for a `cerebral` metal band like Iron Maiden.

Poor mite with head in hands, despairing about what scars have been left (the mental ones cut the deepest).

The forlorn looking girl is the devil`s meat of the title. Lest you were in any doubt, it`s written on her forehead.

A branding iron in the shape of the band`s logo. Couldn`t think of a better cover given the title of the album.

Flailing helpless in the raging waters, survival is far from certain for this unfortunate chap.

The eye of the monster menacingly looks on as a human fly is caught in it's web. As striking and grim a death metal cover as you could want.

I`d probably hate my life too if I had this guy`s dental problems. The music contained within is just as ugly.

Usually I can`t stand it when band members put themselves on the cover, but Bobby Blitz and co look so macho here I can`t help but be enamoured.
