I don't listen to heavy metal and couldn't name a single song from any of the above albums, but I have always enjoyed the covers. Whenever I found myself waiting in record shops for my father to scroll through vinyls, I would amuse myself by staring at these evil illustrations, with their doomsday characters and settings

I'm sure the sounds of the band go even further to enhance these scenes of destruction, for me though the covers did the job by themselves.
