Worst (Funniest) Thrash Metal Album Covers

[THEXwill]

Artillery - Terror Squad and Hydra Vein - Rather Death Than False of Faith both have horrendous album covers. Luckily the music kicks ass on both of them.

[MrOzzy123fest]

@THEXwill terror squad has an awesome cover!

[EtannikufesiN]

Exodus' "Impact is Imminent" album cover bugs me XD

[snarkus63]

What,nothing from Spinal Tap?

[ShadowRaptor95]

Have you seen the cover for Metal Church's "Hanging in the Balance"?

[oneunaccountedfor]

war and pain was good, but it looked like something i drew when i was 5.

[TheDepressed100]

1:16 is it just me, or does this trail of river symbolizes trollface?

[thrillamne]

Znowhite for the win

[metalmario298]

For Whose Advantage by Xendrix has got to be one of the most boring looking covers ever! Their music is pretty good though!

[AttomicaUpYourAss]

Terror Squad - Artillery

[666IchHasseMusik666]

Whiplash is gay!

[RonVerKill]

I agree with most of your list but "full speed ahead"? really? IMO thats one of thier better album covers....the remake of the Killing Is My Business cover is so much better than what the record company put out there....Znowhite's infamous creepy grandma album cover lol, that's actually Nicole Lee's grandmother, no joke.

[MuggerFugger665]

@RonVerKill Dave even had a better album cover than the remastered one.

[nexusg5]

The "Killing is My Business..." may have been done on the cheap, but it really ain't THAT bad...

[IEAIAIOzz]

Shove a frog up your arse you buttery fart. These are all awesome not funny.

Oh and by the way, you are missing Narita by Riot

[DrugWhore1]

I like the power n pain cover its fuckin cool !!!

[havokslayz]

i actually like D.R.I.'s full speed ahead album cover

[FemaTV]

znowhite rips

[NewWorldRob]

that final cover is really bad. It reminds me of a once "alice in chains" release.

A few in add are: Hysteria... Rigor Mortis selftitled....Paranoid. Trixter debut. mmm.. thats alI have. Funny vid.

[TheFFamilyGhost]

Haha, the third album cover which is from "Obliveon" I think? Anyway, it looks like a very old NES game title screen. :DD

[MinnesotaThrasher]

I don't see what's wrong with D.R.I? Maybe I'm just not looking at it right. But battle ships and explosions seem pretty metal to me. LOL

[VitalSigns1]

How the fuck is killing is my business a bad cover?

[gear2ice]

the power and pain album doesnt look like shit it looks FUCKING badass WHIPLASH \m/

[FlyingBanana213]

i actually liked killing is my business ablbum cover

[FredFan8]

This proves all that matters is the music my friends :)

[FULAS714x20]

dapik5 ur a fag man

[EverxOpeningxFlower]

@FULAS714x20 I heard he likes woman so I doubt it.

[Insane4lifez]

The Full Speed ahead cover rules. 

[DestroX71689]

i woulda had anthrax's fistfull o metal, that album covers really ugly but hey cant have em all, love these albums even if they do have bad covers

[MetalWEEGEEE]

not to mention accept, they have very badass songs, but ugly album covers :D

[Skateoftheunion]

Hahahaha I have always adored the shitty skull on kimb.

[GJRM18]

obliveon looks pretty cheesy and bad ass at the same time haha

[GrilloJ123]

I never seen the actual Killing is my Business...awesome. I look at it like this, most of these bands were either just out of high school or still in highschool and they had no money so they just worked with what they had. Props to starting somewhere.

[MrThembones]

some of these were really cool. the second one was especially awesome.

[666jony666]

Whats so bad about the D.R.I one?

[malvern666]

Hanging in the balance by Metal Church is one of the worst

[malvern666]

I like the idea of the D.R.I one

[Scareglow666]

how could you not like the first megadeth album cover!

[OGTheDemon]

poor vic



[dazzerman12]

lol whats wrong with the dri full speed eh?

[makke94]

@dazzerman12 i was wondering that too-

[MrLowprofile13]

Yeah i would agree that Megadeth's first album artwork was bad..now i am a huge megadeth fan and the first time i saw the album art work i laughed. and now its my favorite megadeth album after reading its history about it and listing to it soo much!

[austin2460]

Yeah they lost the artwork for killing is my business.

[masterofmetallica09]

Search Pariah - Blaze of Obscurity.

I love that album, but I hate that cover!

[dapik5]

@masterofmetallica09 i have that album its great, dont think the cover is too bad tho

[masterofmetallica09]

@dapik5 What About Shah and Hades covers? Also Watchtowers 'Control and resistance.' Yeah, great music but bad album covers! haha!

[hentajus]

hm...expected to see anthrax fistful of metal on here :D

[EverxOpeningxFlower]

@hentajus You must be joking!! Fistful of metal has the coolest album cover of all time!

[MCchuckers]

yeah man thrash sucks anyways. they deserve these covers!

[luisvaz92]

@MCchuckers TROLL ALERT

[Fuckrap111]

at 3:13 creeply as fuck

[dapik5]

@Fuckrap111 yeh lol but one hell of an album

[IEAIAIOzz]

Dude ur a retard, that megadeth album cover is awesome, and if u dont like it go look at the new version

[klapausius69]

Tried Raging Violence by Hirax, nice album with an ugly cover!

[bathwhoreE]

Is there anyone who Could Not Fall in Love with ZnoWhite :)

[Shenannigan101]

what's the znowhite song called? It sounds really awesome!

[dapik5]

@Shenannigan101 war machine, and yes the song (and album) is amazing :)

[lazyeyedshitzu]

@MrWankata That is what I am saying.

[lazyeyedshitzu]

The original Killing is my business... and businees is good is hella fucking cool.

[kix7711therealone]

@lazyeyedshitzu the one on the remaster is better

[cjms08]

the dude on the moby dick cover was he suppose to be the dad from the twisted sister video lol

[saiyansk8erdude540]

I LAUGHED SO FUKKING HARD BEFORE THE MUSIC EVEN STARTED!!!!! XDD

[SpeakMyMind500]

Yeah the songs are pretty good just ugly album covers.

[0ZAZU]

@MrWankata the old fucked up one before it was remastered and made epic the old one was a mistake

[ShowNoMercy555]

if you want crappy covers look at some black or symphonic metal albums...they suck

[Dagger555]

Dude how can you not like the D.R.I. and Whiplash covers!? Best ever made:D gotta love the cheesy 80's covers!

[dapik5]

@Dagger555 by saying 'worst' covers, im not saying i dont like them, just that theyre super cheesy povo thrash band style. not a bad thing!

[MagnumBullets47]

@dapik5 Where´s R.I.O.T. man ? Oh, R.I.O.T. has to be on that list ! XD

[MrMethadrine]

i love cheesy 80s covers..Today everyone try to look intelligent via classy artworks..

[Destivesvin]

Why don't you like the D.R.I. full speed ahead?

[batfuckinsane]

hows full speed ahead a bad album cover? It's pretty good to me. :D

[MrRaftu]

Where is Pat Boone?

[IronMaidenSDABNJ]

Killing is my business is cool, screw you

[PinkPantherPunk]

no way full speed a heads cover is awesome

[slash3448]

I liked them all

[NIKKGAGE1994]

i personally like the Full Speed Ahead album cover

[yaotlenemy666]

Full speed ahead?!!! that cover is not funny or bad... I mean, it is not the best cover of all times, but it isn't that bad!

[SadusKreatorPriest]

I actually really like the D.R.I. cover but the Moby Dick cover was pretty bad. Even though Killing Is My Business... is in my top 5 thrash albums it is admittedly awful. Whiplash's is just awful though.

[islespatrick]

i love the megadeth cover

[ebeaver15]

Idk bout Power and Pain.

Ticket To Mayhem is cheesy as hell.

[rodrigo92loko]

worst covers best music

[dubmaster96]

The first cover in this video is just awesome

[HypotheDragon]

The second one looks pretty fucking goddamn epic.

[sethshazam]

the fact that the remaster of killing is my business has a different cover shows that they thought it looked like shit too

[GrooveStreet70]

Power And Pain is actually one of my favorite thrash cover! XD

[LSUforever]

The whiplash one is the funniest!

[Ragnarnedo01]

killing is my business is a good album uU

[RosalesErik]

@Ragnarnedo01 is more than a good album is the creation of megadeth era

[Ragnarnedo01]

@RosalesErik yeah!!! ^^

[MetalWarrior95]

wtf??...c'mon the D.R.I cover is awesome!

[PullThePlug666]

ZNOWHITE RULES!! HAVE THIS ON CD AND CASSETTE!

[dapik5]

@PullThePlug666 yeah fantastic album

[ShinyHitmonleeReborn]

I don't remember From this Day Forward being a cover, O.o

[TheHotguysexy]

Killing is my business cover isnt that bad, even if Dave Mustain says he didnt like it I find it decent.

[nothinghappens1]

Am i the only one who loves the "killing is my business" art work???

[dapik5]

@nothinghappens1 lol how can anyone like it? its awful

[nothinghappens1]

@dapik5 Come on man, is so 80´s and so cheessy that is lovely.

[dapik5]

@nothinghappens1 lol

[StopMotionHeadBanger]

@dapik5 dude, it rules. That's just my opinion

[StopMotionHeadBanger]

@nothinghappens1 nope, i love it

[nothinghappens1]

@StopMotionHeadBanger Thanks dude!!! now we are two who love it!!!

[MEGAIRONMETALHEAD]

@nothinghappens1 i like it

[nothinghappens1]

@MEGAIRONMETALHEAD CHEERS MAN!!!

[MrRaftu]

@nothinghappens1 i like the new one

[nothinghappens1]

@MrRaftu I agree my friend!!!

[Streetwalkeriain]

@nothinghappens1 Not at all. it has character and reflects how poor the band was at that time, and subsequently how much they loved their music. It will be a collector's item now. However SFSG...SW! had no excuse. I think that's terrible and the money to get something good for that.

[ThrashMetalDude231]

@nothinghappens1 yeah cuz not even dave liked it man

[nothinghappens1]

@ThrashMetalDude231 Hhahahahahaha right dude!!! But you know, old things are the best also haha cheers mate!!!

[ClaudLeon]

@nothinghappens1 Killing Is My Business DOES NOT BELONG ON THIS VIDEO!!!!

[NaturalBornThrasher1]

hahaha i actually hate the full speed ahead cover.

[thrashbrutalmosh]

full speed ahead isn't bad, the fuckin album cover is awsome

and the cover of power and pain is so fuckin thrash.

you have a bad idea of thrash metal or you're a poser \m/ mexican gore mafia \m/

[dapik5]

@thrashbrutalmosh a poser wouldn't have heard of whiplash, moby dick, obliveon and znowhite. and i do like the thrashiness of these covers, im just saying theyre pretty funny

[dapik5]

@thrashbrutalmosh a poser wouldn't have heard of whiplash, moby dick, obliveon and znowhite. and i do like the thrashiness of these covers, im just saying theyre pretty funny

[MetalizedButt]

@dapik5 Right on man, i hate when people accuse others of being posers for all the wrong reasons. Idiots... That dude probably doesn't even know any of these bands. But then again every thrasher HAS to know at least D.R.I and Whiplash... Even if he is, he's a lame kid who acts like he's more metal than everyone else.

[NaturalBornThrasher1]

@thrashbrutalmosh once again the term "poser" is being thrown out there....man your a fucken pussy!

[flipmonster75]

megadeth kicks ass!!!

[thekiddiepool69]

that D.R.I cover is cool!

[whiplashdeth]

i like some of those :(

[slashBR1751]

power and pain isn't bad

the worst thrash cover is Brasil by RxDxPx(CROSSOVER TRASH)

[dapik5]

@slashBR1751 lol thats ones quite funny

[hurakannaranja]

WTF ... MEGADETH ????? FUCK U

[dapik5]

@hurakannaranja are you trying to say the cover is good? or megadeth are good? coz i agree with the latter.

[megadethendgame]

@dapik5 Megadeth, good. KIMB album cover, bad

[dapik5]

@megadethendgame exactly

[megadethendgame]

@dapik5 Just trying to make what you said more clear.... if it wasn't clear enough.

[KillEmAllButGood]

@hurakannaranja grow up

[hurakannaranja]

@KillEmAllButGood Get a Life

[KillEmAllButGood]

I have one, thanks for proving my point

[329ljm10]

and I think the whiplash one is pretty awsome, but the one I thought was bad was moby dicks!

[329ljm10]

I like the megadeth one actually,

[ihatesexpistols]

The Very Very Worst Thrash Metal Album Cover Ever is Seasons in the Abbys

[LGLG69]

I laughed when I saw Whiplash's "Power and Pain" album cover because I've always considered it one of the cheesiest covers. Exciter has two awful album covers that are worth mentioning: "Unveiling the Wicked", and "Thrash Speed Burn".

[Liam1993R]

Megadeths cover looks okay.

Well I've seen worse anyway xD

[EpicUberMan1000]

the remastered KIMB album cover kicks so much ass though... but the f***ed up replacement one, not so much.

[IMBACHABRI]

Dri's cover looks fine.

[dapik5]

the idea is fine, the execution not so

[juuseli]

The story behind "Killing is my business... and business is good" is pretty awesome tho. They had to think of an replacement quickly.

[90holtman]

the oblivion one looks cool. looks like it came off a nintendo game.

[Karttibone]

Ok, I admit they do look kinda strange, but keep in mind that thrash metal bands usually don't have any money to spend. They are unsatisfied with their life and make aggressive music for the do not agree the world. So they make the covers on their own.

[RadBrad13]

I think the Whiplash one looks cool. ^^
