You have to admire their adherence to "people will think we're big and scary if we screw our faces up like angry five year olds" mantra, although they could have told the lad on the left!
Oh and unless you're Mike Muir - who gets a carte blanche for nostalgia's sake - or auditioning for Hatebreed, wearing a bandana in a band photo is just an instant FAIL.

And what's with the truck/bus?

That said, it's definately a step up from:

Good idea for a thread Pulse!

As much as I adore Death In June, some of his promo photos/cover artworks are just weird.




(^ i've got a massive poster version of this )

Hah, that's weird as fuck, you're right. Good though, kind of creepy really.

I always found the early Morbid Angel ones a little weird too, though that could be entirely due to 'Evil D's fondness for studded budgie smugglers.
The inspiration for From Dusk Till Dawn maybe? hah

The tightness! Argh!

haha, as much as I worship the very ground Tony Iommi walks on it's pretty safe to say you can ALWAYS rely on Ozzy being in a photo to fucking ruin it!

Sepultura from back int day


or the slightly cooler

FAVELA THRASH!

That Death in June cover is fantastic

Pulsy- Agreed. I always hated that picture with Ozzy standing far to one side alone and the rest on the other side. It's like "YEAHHH I'M OZZY, I DIDN'T ACTUALLY WRITE ANY MUSIC AND ONLY WROTE THE LYRICS TO THREE SONGS IN OVER TEN FUCKING YEARS, BUT YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
[On a similar note, on the Oz album where he's doing nothing but Sabbath songs and opens almost every one about how he wrote it annoys me]
[Ironically, I like some of his solo shit]

The poster that you get in the vinyl version of The Devil You Know is possibly the coolest pic of any one of Dio/Iommi/Butler/Appice ever taken.
Dio's standing in the foreground to make him look the same height as everyone else


The BEST band photo ever taken is the one on the cover of Dawn Of The Blackhearts.
I'm sorry black metallers, you can be a self-affirming attention-seeking pussy without the balls to do himself in like Kvarforth all you like but I'm not going to take you seriously until you do a Dead.
Now that fucker knew how to rock.

I know your going to accuse of engineering yet another "lol black metalz" hate threads but if anybody deserves to be in thread, its Abyssos.



Makes the twilight vampires look krieg in comparison.

Makes Dani Filth look like a true thespian

not forgetting the well-known Pantera glam days
