Luca Turilli - Prophet of the Last Eclipse [2002]
Power Metal from Italy

4/10

This is looking more like a back/hype art of an old low budget video game. I have to say that the background and surroundings are great, but this robot ruins everything

Korpiklaani - Manala [2012]
Folk Metal from Finland

6/10

Plenty of symbolism, which I don't get sadly, still, interesting enough. The lava and the background ambient are great, but the lightning effects on the dude and goose are too wrong/weird

Edge of Sanity - Unorthodox [1992]
Progressive Death Metal from Sweden

4/10

Intriguing, but too much detail mixed with some doubtful choice of colors make it painful to look at. It is also too bright and the yellow lightning just adds to its flaws

Tarja - Colours in the Dark [2013]
Symphonic Metal from Finland

6/10

Such a pleasant color palette. When zooming in some elements might be overwhelmingly confusing, specially around the album title, but from afar it is a nice colorful mix

Immortal - All Shall Fall [2009]
Black Metal from Norway

7/10

Imposing. A solid cover emanating the unforgiving winter cold and darkness aura we expect and admire from an Immortal album

Forsaken - After the Fall [2009]
Doom Metal from Malta

4/10

Unimpressive at best, though it carries a religious message and I liked the subtle-ish cross of light in the clouds which gives meaning to the album, the overall work doesn't look appealing to me

Unearthly - Flagellum Dei [2011]
Black Metal from Brazil

7/10

I may have never this much brightness in a Black Metal cover, as this can be seen as only as a breeze of fresh air additionally the elements here are pretty well done, hauntingly blasphemous.

Halford - Live Insurrection [2001]
Heavy Metal from the UK

6/10

When talking about live albums, I prefer the ones where the cover is a photo of the live show itself like in this case, it gives me a sense of the energy and atmosphere presented

Moonsorrow - Varjoina kuljemme kuolleiden maassa [2011]
Folk Metal from Finland

6/10

You can feel the cold gust of wind from this, with the title meaning "As Shadows We Walk in the Land of the Dead" this is a great example of good band photo as a cover

God Dethroned - Passiondale (Passchendaele) [2009]
Death Metal from the Netherlands

3/10

The 'coat of arms' is excruciatingly convoluted, it ruins everything. I think it was a nice idea to put several headstones inside it but such a terrible execution

Vasaeleth - Crypt Born & Tethered to Ruin [2010]
Death Metal from the US

7/10

Shilling is what comes into mind. The symbols and the minor details are intriguing. This is a good drawing with a great style, the glowing red is a very nice addition.

Obituary - Obituary [2017]
Death Metal from the US

4/10

They went for a simplistic cover, not bad but very contrasting with the rest of their catalog which has always been impressive. I think simple covers are ok but this one doesn't quite do it for me

Eradicator - Madness Is My Name [2012]
Thrash Metal from Germany

3/10

I like the green and the setting, other than that it's bad, unimpressive, weird amateur drawing. It's hard to notice the pants of the fat guy so it looks like he has no lower parts.

Metsatöll - Äio [2010]
Folk Metal from Estonia

6/10

A bit too simple, quite rustic and pretty abstract. A nice blend for a folk metal cover, the impression of sadness and simplicity strikes me as a perfect mood for the listening experience

Here are some Saxon covers comparison

[Rating Metal Covers @RateMetalCovers]

Saxon - Innocence Is No Excuse [1985]
Heavy Metal from the UK

1/10

The cover art is bad on itself but the album name makes it disgusting, it's giving me pedo vibes, and if you compare it with other Saxon covers you'll see this doesn't belong at all

Nervochaos - Legion of Spirits Infernal [2002]
Death Metal from Brazil

5/10

You can see some inspiration from Incantion's covers with its' psychedelic blasphemy, which I like a lot, this one though feels like it lacked better shades and post production
