Some Of The Worst Heavy Metal Album Covers Of All Time

Heavy metal is generally thought of as rock's totally hardcore cousin, and heavy metal album art is supposed to reflect the band's extreme fist pumping and headbanging nature.

But sometimes in the quest to prove how hardcore you are you just end up making yourself look like a high-caliber tool.

Even bands like Iron Maiden, who usually get the album art so right, can fall from grace when they ditch the hand drawn art to make the leap into the digital age.

But all bands have to start somewhere near the bottom, and it's okay if they let their less than talented buddy draw the cover art for their first album, so they can look back on it some day and smile.

Anybody that gets e-mail has probably received most of these from friends and relatives over the years. I'm amazed that some still make the rounds and that some people believe them to be true. Usually the pictures are enough to clue one in on the probability it's a hoax but sometimes the text is just as insightful, such as the shark/navy diver in South Africa when the Golden Gate Bridge is clearly seen in the background.

The photo of the coper and the frogman are from the California ANG and was shoot by an Air Force photojournalist. The other photo came off the web. The individual wanted to show how easy it was to phtoshop something and have most people believe it
