Perhaps nowhere is a striking cover image more important than in death metal. Countless metal musicians say that what drew them to death metal - or what initially repelled them but piqued their curiosity - was the cover art for bands like Cannibal Corpse and Deicide. Death metal bands are still trying to one-up each other with explicit and grisly images from slaughterhouses or crime scenes. Check out Justin M. Norton's gallery of the goriest and most memorable death metal album covers. Warning, this one is not for the faint of heart!
