Deadsy made important music.
Michael, I've thought for years that the kids on that cover were the best actors of our time. Genuinely great. At the same time, I'm not sure I like it, it makes me feel uncomfortable. Basically, it perfectly suits the album.

Man I am on standard cable wi-fi and I have never had an issue with slow loading images, not even in the pointless thread. But edwinalink I may have to ask you to resize those a bit.

Yes had the greatest album art.

Blind Guardian is pretty much the best for gothic fantasy cover art.

My Firewater CD is completely different from that linked one. It's got the same images but it's just in a standard jewel case. I feel conned now

you know, I've never actually been there! even after emilie autumn put the phrase "so that everybody thinks that I'm a fucking suicide girl..." in a song, still i have not checked it out... i figure why go there when i can get it off Deviant Art for free!

yeah, deadsy mattered, deadsy's gone! but they mattered... I know its shite, but somehow i feel that is kind of the point!

and... i have no idea what happened with the sizes, when i uploaded them they were all 300x300... I MADE them that way in paint.net!

Deadsy started out in 1995, when Elijah Blue Allman (known within the band lineup by his stage name Philips Exeter Blue I) decided he would get a record deal to support himself

he's got a special mommy, he had a record deal no matter what.

he could have recorded the sound of shit hitting a wall, and he would have gotten a contract... (come to think of it...)

anyhoo... I wish my mom was cher!

This thread is becoming a little grotesque, so let's bring back the original intent!

This is probably my favorite album cover ever. My vinyl copy just arrived and it looks fantastic on my wall-

jtheory · « **Reply #68 on:** 16 Jun 2009, 16:12 »

I had an odd moment a while back when I really liked the covers of some of the Decemberists albums (the music, take it or leave it.. I still don't know it terribly well). For example:

So I dug around a bit for the artist, etc... -- Carson Ellis -- and eventually realized that she'd gone to high school with me. Huh. Same class year and everything.

Cool artwork, anyway.

CD Artwork

Vinyl Artwork

KharBevNor · « **Reply #78 on:** 03 Jul 2009, 15:03 »

I love the artwork for industrial and post-industrial bands (surprise surprise)

Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio - Cocktails, Carnage, Crucifixion and Pornography

Death in June - Abandon Tracks!

Laibach - Sympathy For the Devil (have this on Vinyl, so excellent)

Coil - Horse Rotorvator

The text reads:

"On the Eve of the Apocalypse - (the air choked with horsehair) - the Four Horsemen betray their steeds - slitting open the animal throats - and in doing so release the Second Great Deluge - Horsegore - Infinite Divisibles Split - an infinity of open sewers - the Four then fashion an immense earthmoving device from the collective jawbones - The Horse Rotorvator - with which to plough up the waiting world - (ROTA turns through 180° to TARO) - wheels replace horses - Dark Horses Run - Dark Horses Run Deep - and Hell is paved with horseflesh... (we plough the fields and scatter Our Dead Steeds on the land)".

A digital drink of your choice for posting that one...
When I first discovered them and I was already interested because of the Moby Dick lyrics, butwhen I saw the artwork I was speechless... and the music is even more jaw-dropping.

Here's some of my all time favorites:

Esoteric - The Maniacal Vale [A really good album... The music is as Psychedelic, crushing and "warm" as the picture]

Pig Destroyer - Phantom Limb [I never thought a Grindcore album could look like this]

Touch Me Im Sick · « **Reply #81 on:** 11 Jul 2009, 12:47 »

I don't know why, but I like Lightning Bolt's album art, especially this one.

I'm a sucker for typography. Downloaded this in the mediafire thread just for the art...glad I did, good album. Kudos to whoever uploaded it.

Same as Adventure, downloaded it in the mediafire thread for the art, great album.

Great album, great cover. 'Nuff said.

Pretty much all of the stuff JD Baizly(sp?) does is kickass. covers for Baroness, Kylesa, Cursed all rule hard.

i am a fan of the time to pretend album art, but i can't say it led to me listening to mgmt. but i saw it and i thought "wow this is very appropriate."

and although most posters seem to be indie music fans predominately, i have to sing my praises for most of cradle of filth's album art. it kind of all ties together all the albums, and it is always appropriate for their music. cruelty and the beast may be my favorite.

For example, I saw this on vinyl for a dollar:

Yes, some great covers and music.

Through silver in blood could easily be a soundtrack to an apocalypse.

Here are some more of nice ones :

Cult of Luna - Eternal Kingdom

Intronaut - Prehistoricisms
