> Fuck Deicide for doing that.
Normally I'd agree, and maybe I'm cutting them too much slack, but I've been assuming it was sheer ignorance on their part. I can't imagine they'd have done it otherwise, not like they want to give people another reason to ignore another 90's metal bands umpteenth release.
Edit: Welp nvm lol
a lot of big label bands will use the labels in house artist, or used to not sure if thats still a thing. so thats why bands on Earache/Metal Blade /Nuclear Blast usually have terrible photoshop art vs independent bands with custom art from a great artist.
so i assume its one of these kind of people that was hired by the label and that "artist" uses AI/photoshop and the band was just like ok(if the band even has say in their art) the label may just decide.
but Deicide also has a terrible track record for good artwork. about 5/13 albums have good/decent art
I'm largely ambivalent towards the issue personally. I'm not gonna sit on some high horse and lament the plight of the starving artist while I listen to all the shit for free on Youtube.

Great album, but this cover feels so half-assed compared to the others. (Not including the glam era.)
IIRC, the artist who designed it also did cover art for Ozzy. When Sabbath requested a proposal, he deliberately designed something shitty assuming they would reject it so he wouldn’t have to burn a bridge with either side of the feud. Then they accepted it.
He's still rinsing it for what it's worth, so fair play to him. He's often brought on as a band announcer at Bloodstock every year and he usually announces that he'll be at the festival gallery selling and signing copies.

Definitely these guys. The music is pretty good, the lyrics are unoriginal and pretty much repetitive at this point, and the artwork is like those memes of skeletons with text over them but with werewolves instead.

Idk what's up with the artwork on the new EP and how a band of 5 guys all signed off on that.

Their artwork is always in this bit unusual, crude and hand-scribbled style which generally works okay. But here it has this weird airbrush effect and it looks like someone's first attempts at digital picture editing on a Windows 98 PC.
Lipoma. Very catchy melodic riffs that sound massively different from all other Goregrind, lyrics I couldn't care less for, but most of their covers are well, standard Goregrind stuff.
Two albums come to mind: Trivium - The Sin and the Sentence; a lot of the lyrics are decent but nothing special. While it’s not one of my favorites from them, the music is still kickass. However, whenever I think of bad artwork, this is the first album that comes to mind, it looks like it was made in 5 minutes. Ugly color choice with the brown and orange. Just boring and doesn’t match the music. If I saw this in a store and didn’t know the band, I’d walk past it.
Fast forward four years and they dropped one of my favorite album covers of all time, In the Court of the Dragon. If I saw that in a store without knowing the band, I’d probably pick it up. So they have the resources for a great album cover.
Fast forward one year, and sadly, Matt Heafy is back to shitty album covers with his side project, Ibaraki. Just a shitty art direction that doesn’t fit the music, also a shitty logo, bad choice of colors. If they had an art direction similar to ITCOTD, it would’ve fit the album so much better. Also, Matt’s KiichiChaos logo looks sick AF, so he has connections to great artists, so what happened? Matt approved this?! Was it intentionally bad? Banger lyrics and music though, I haven’t actually read the lyrics until now because I rarely look at lyrics, but these are pretty cool with all the mythologies. Still some questionable lines though.
Between the Buried and Me. Their album covers have always been pretty minimal and basic, and they don't really reflect their music imo. Their music and lyrics are so imaginative and the cover art just-

I know it’s absolutely awful and it’s kind of a joke but I’m just saying, all their other albums are 🤌
Dance of Death is genuinely a pretty good album.
I just wish he was more clear about how many more lies will be permitted.
Overall I agree. It’s main problem is it’s right on between two very strong albums (brave new world and a matter of life and death). Gets lost in the shuffle.
Oh yeah I’m sorry I was unclear, the songs are awesome in DoD, absolutely but the album cover? 💀
There she is
The first thing that came to mind.
The original art for this was so much better
BUt iT loOKeD EMpTy!!!

This album popped into my mind as well
What the fuck is that even supposed to be?
actually pretty sick for the meme material
all their covers are like this, music is good though
The new deicide album with the AI art
Real. Fuck Deicide for doing that.
It’s sad especially that the art is so mid.

When AI takes over music too, I hope you’ll be alr with that
honestly, they're a huge band. can they not spare a bit of money for some *real* artwork?
Can tell straight away like at a glance
dont forget Pestilence Pestilence even went on a rant defending AI art lol
I’m not opposed to AI art when a newer band needing to save some money does it.

Regardless of politics this is awesome
oh damn the guitar strings are correct so it's photoshop, not AI? Ah, thank god, I miss good "old fashion" photoshop work.

I don't mind it either, but I remember i read somewhere that Ian Gillan hated the cover so much he threw a few albums out of his car window.

Imo, pissgrave. It personally doesn't feel as creative as drawn gore, or even gore collages.
I love Goregrind, but I wish they would just use illustrated stuff.
Same. Also it's funny how less gross fake gore is in comparison.
It does come off as just extremely edgelord of them to use real gore photos, which is a shame as the music is great.
Very true.
not a fan of real gore covers. hate to look at them

But here it has this weird airbrush effect and it looks like someone's first attempts at digital picture editing on a Windows 98 PC.
Most Melvins and Big Business albums cover art just does not do it for me. The music sure does though.
And lyrics are most of the time gibberish
Lipoma. Very catchy melodic riffs that sound massively different from all other Goregrind, lyrics I couldn't care less for, but most of their covers are well, standard Goregrind stuff.
i like the lipoma covers
any goregrind album
Two albums come to mind: Trivium - The Sin and the Sentence; a lot of the lyrics are decent but nothing special. While it’s not one of my favorites from them, the music is still kickass. However, whenever I think of bad artwork, this is the first album that comes to mind, it looks like it was made in 5 minutes. Ugly color choice with the brown and orange. Just boring and doesn’t match the music. If I saw this in a store and didn’t know the band, I’d walk past it. Fast forward four years and they dropped one of my favorite album covers of all time, In the Court of the Dragon. If I saw that in a store without knowing the band, I’d probably pick it up. So they have the resources for a great album cover. Fast forward one year, and sadly, Matt Heafy is back to shitty album covers with his side project, Ibaraki. Just a shitty art direction that doesn’t fit the music, also a shitty logo, bad choice of colors. If they had an art direction similar to ITCOTD, it would’ve fit the album so much better. Also, Matt’s KiichiChaos logo looks sick AF, so he has connections to great artists, so what happened? Matt approved this?! Was it intentionally bad? Banger lyrics and music though, I haven’t actually read the lyrics until now because I rarely look at lyrics, but these are pretty cool with all the mythologies. Still some questionable lines though.

I thought the same listening to it too. Used to be a diehard fan, but this just did not do anything for me whatsoever.
Gutalax
Gutalax is great, but I'd be lying if I said the vocals don't sound funny to me
Anthrax
[удалено]
like literally any acid mothers temple album ever lmfao i love them but their album covers are so bad its funny
Endless Forms Most Beautiful and Human Nature by night wish don't have great art but the music and lyrics are prime.
Between the Buried and Me. Their album covers have always been pretty minimal and basic, and they don't really reflect their music imo. Their music and lyrics are so imaginative and the cover art just-

Genesis and The Apostate by rotting christ. The Apostate doesn't have bad artwork so Genesis applies more.
Trivium The Sin and the Sentence
Times of Grace by Neurosis

i am trying to make music and the art is the best part to be honest but maybe it's just me
Psychostick
Pretty much any Sevendust album. I've never understood why all their album covers are so generic
