berserker Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Just so you know, I meant literally awesome.

I bet your less-than-literally-awesome broken link had super weak dragons all over it or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it's best that you've gotten the obvious out of the way tho.I still don't like seeing your post next to my post.I am a massive fan of minimal art.Thus, it is quite literally, an awesome cover.

Soda Jerk Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I'm a total sucker for quintessentially 80's thrash metal artwork. It is always utterly ridiculous, though the illustrating is always awesome.Skeleton salesman.Clowns with weapons, obviouslySkeleton calling time.Dumper truck full of zombiesWorld taken over by giant mutant spidersThe band are called Uncle Slam, for fuck sake. UNCLE. SLAM.Big breasted woman, in a deserted woodland lake, getting eaten by skeletonsThe world is ending, yet this guy still find the time to surfPriest attacked by a werewolf in a leather jacket.A skull made of fire with claws attacks business men whilst gnarly metal dudes cheer.Drunk zombie about to blow up the world.Mahoosive goblin bites the head off a person. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely love thrash metal. The actual content of the artwork is completely OTT, but the detail in the illustration is amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Another worthwhile thread successfully derailed by the Ab Mus crew, awesome work.I shall say it again: the White Album sleeve is simple and amazing. The only other Beatles covers that come close are Abbey Road and Revolver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 As far as minimal cover art goes, I really dig Karate's Unsolved LPGeoff Farina went mental because he reckons Electronic Arts ripped it off.He's got a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the thrash metal artwork is awesome. So much stuff going on that it can only have been conceived after some kind of horrific acid trip.

Minimal artwork can be incredibly suited to the right kind of record, and be a very credible piece of art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murrr Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I don't want to quote a post that's so packed with pictures, but Soda Jerk's thrash post just ended me.

I had to go through to the kitchen and get a glass of water. Ridiculous laughter.I keep noticing new things about alot of those sleeves, like the werewolf; he has abs and pecs. Fucking mental. And the dumper truck on the Municipal Waste cover, the front wheels are tiny, and the back wheels are huge, and the whole front end is launched off the ground. Absolutely no idea what is going on. It would just tip over, frontwards. Also, on the same cover, the zombies falling off the back of the lorry are falling down what looks like a big hole, maybe like a quarry. Just unbelievable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfer_Rosa Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 The Uncle Slam one loses points for not using a pointy font for the band name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I think it redeems itself with the pun though. The band name alone is just incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
