There's quite a few of us on here who have album art as our avatars.  If you're one of those people, is there a reason why you chose that album?

I chose mine because it has a tank in it and it goes with my username.  The only Panzerchrist album that I've listened to in entirety is Room Service (and loved it), but Battalion Beast looks more awesome.

Both Room Service and Battalion Beast are great death metal albums, but Soul Collector is their best album if you ask me:
.. Album Cover
 
If you purchase this one:
.. Album Cover
 
You�ll get both Soul Collector and Room Service for the prize of one.
 
...oh and back to the subject of this thread ( sorry I got carried awayEmbarrassed) Mine is:
.. Album Cover
 
"Freakery" by US grindcore act Cretin. It�s not a favorite album or anything like that ( it�s a good Repulsion influenced grindcore album though). I just like the badass cover artwork a lot Big smile. And there�s a slight blue tone to it, which is something I have in all my avatars on various sites I�m involved with ( it�s the colour of the shirts of the soccer team I follow). Oh and I�m fascinated by the bizarre story that the lead vocalist on this album used to be a man and is now officially a lady. I don�t judge I just find it intriguing.

Cool topic. Smile

I chose Crimson mainly because it's one of my favorite metal albums ever. I've also always loved the artwork, so it seemed destined to be my avatar for MMA. Big smile

My avatar is just a homage to Opeth, and I will probably keep changing it to different bands such as Pain of Salvation or DT.

If only Ivan from PA was here... Though he hardly needs to explain why he chose Peter Gabriel Tongue
Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

Have you ever played Sacred Seasons 2?  Because that guy looks like a Spring hypnotist.

Disco Volante isn't my favorite album (in my top 20, though...not exactly sure where), but I do very much so enjoy the feel and the art Mr. Bungle provides with it.  Used to be Focus, but I don't think it's really a good avatar.

Mines a split between Corrupted & Meat Slave. I'm smitten, beyond belief, with Corrupted. No idea who, what, where Meat slave are, and frankly do not wish know and/or find out since the album itself is shit. I find the cover aesthetically *ahem* pleasing... for personal reasons... I'll leave it at that Wink

Since this post, I've listened to the rest of the Panzerchrist albums, and as it turns out, Battalion Beast is my favorite of the bunch, giving me another reason to pick this album as my avatar.

I don't really think mine counts. But a lot of my favorite albums work together really well so there! Cool

Now that I've decided to mix it up!

The Mantle is just an amazing album. More than "omg really awesome" but one that really had an impact on me.


Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!



Listen to doom metal, worship Satan
