Top 10 Worst Album Covers by Non-Extreme Metal Bands
When people hear "bad metal album covers", most of them think of creepy, gory or weird cover arts usually associated with extreme metal (not all extreme metal album covers are gory or bad though).But there are bad album covers by Non-Extreme Metal Bands that aren't necessarily creepy or gory.
Here are some of them.
The Top Ten
1 Pink Bubbles Go Ape - Helloween
Huge agreement on the title. What the hell.
2 Blow Your Speakers - Manowar
Unfortunately in this image you can't see the semi-naked sexy ladies (it was probably censored)
3 Metal Magic - Pantera
4 Better Than Raw - Helloween
1998.
Hey, Helloween, Are You Glam Metal? (pun intended - they have a song 'Are You Metal? ').
Moreover, Glam Metal type of covers with sexy semi-naked girls on them were out of fashion in 1998...
5 When Hell Won't Have You - Split Beaver
6 Anthology - Manowar
7 Les Fils du Métal - Satan Jokers
It looks like a glam metal cover but EM says they are Heavy Metal (France).
8 Narita - Riot
9 Into Glory Ride - Manowar
10 California Metal - Barren Cross, Deliverance, Hero, Guardian, Neon Cross, Mastedon
A compilation album released in 1987, with songs by 6 unsigned Christian metal bands similar to Stryper.
The Contenders
11 Dance of Death - Iron Maiden
It doesn't even look finished. This album has one of my favorite Iron Maiden songs, "Paschendale", but the album cover itself is atrocious.
12 Dactylis Glomerata - Candlemass
13 Load - Metallica
