Favorite album art of the year?
« on: December 31, 2019, 08:16:00 AM »
We have our threads for favorite music of the year, but how about the artwork? I have decided starting with 2019 going forward I will have folders dedicated to high-resolution copies of art for every album that comes out. The art is half the reason I love physical copies so much. Here I'll share some of my favorite cover art from 2019. Show me yours!






1. Artificial Language - Now We Sleep
2. Eternity's End - Unyielding
3. Illyria - The Carpathian Summit
4. Moon Tooth - Crux
5. Obsidian Tide - Pillars of Creation
6. Paladin - Ascension
7. Twilight Force - Dawn of the Dragonstar
8. Wilderun - Veil of Imagination

I had Voyager on there, but removed it because I didn't have a 10th and was too lazy to go back to pick another out, then I thought 8 was just fine so I said screw it, but funnily enough that's like my #1 pick for my first 'new vinyl' purchase :lol

That Arch Echo cover is incredible, but that's from 2017, not 2019!

That is fucking amazing.

It is... too bad the album was a big bucket of 'meh'.  One of my disappointments of the year.
