The worst album covers of heavy metal bands of the 80s and 90s

The whole point of the art of album covers is to create something that fully reflects the music that is inside, and to prove that the spark of inspiration and creativity is not only in these compositions, but also in the packaging. The album cover should make anyone buy it, even if they have never heard of such a band. Sometimes, in an attempt to prove their own incredible coolness and other hardcore, many bands slip into absurdity — even giants like Iron Maiden.

Of course, all the covers in our post are indescribably terrible, but this does not mean that the music of these albums is at the same level, not at all. Some bands made a mistake only in choosing the cover.

So, which cover do you think is the worst?
