    As much as I love Summoning, I can't believe you used that as an example of great cover art. Summoning took that off of a 1992 Atari video game box called Ishar.

    Yeah I really enjoy the artwork placed on Heavy Metal albums. May sound odd but its one of the reasons I preffer to buy the music rather then download it. Its a joy to hold the CD in my hands and stare at the cover art while I listen to the music. Its great.
