LET THE RACE FOR THE BEST COVER ART OF 2010 BEGIN!

 Wednesday, January 6th, 2010 at 9:43am by

The cover art for Sigh’s forthcoming Scenes from Hell is as kick-ass as the music on that album (read my review here). In case you haven’t seen it before…

sigh-sfh-frontcover

This should be – and in my opinion, still is – the clear front runner for “Best Cover Art of 2010,” even at this early juncture. Look at that thing, man! Eliran Kantor did a helluva job. Someone is gonna hafta to come up with something pretty cool to top it.

Well, High on Fire haven’t quite topped it, but they’ve still come up with something awesome for their new album, Snakes for the Divine. Check it out:

Okay. Which one is cooler? Start arguing!!!

Sigh’s Scenes from Hell comes out January 19 on The End. High on Fire’s Snakes for the Divine comes out February 23 on E1.

    I see High on Fire are writing a hentai concept album.

      Also, the Option Paralysis cover art looks pretty sweet imo.

    • Bicro

      Nah, Leviathan already did Tentacles of Whorror.

    • WowWee!

      Hentai Tenticle rape Metal would be awesome.

  • Spolodaface

    the High on Fire one looks a bit too much like a rip-off of the latest Gates of Slumber cover for me.

  • Alex_P

    High on Fire have a good one, but Sigh have one of THE BEST COVERS OF ALL TIME, YO!

    High on Fuckin Fire

    High On Fire is definitely reaching back a couple of decades for their cover and it’s pretty badass. But I prefer the Death Is This Communion artwork personally.

    Sigh’s is better because it is a work of art. ‘Nuff said.

    The art for Death is this Communion was sooooooooooo much bas assier. Sigh all the way.

  • TheHangingBrain

    I don’t like Sigh, but to deny that cover is badass would be stupid.

  • X.XIII

    sigh’s artwork might be cooler, but high on fire’s album will be way, way better.

    High On Fire’s cover has the advantage of more realistically rendered titties.
    Also, all that loving (hating?) detail on Sigh’s cover is going to be totally lost when seen at postage stamp size on the screen of everyone’s Favorite Portable Digital Music Device. Obviously we all want rad album art, but the sad reality is that “album” covers nowadays have to work at all sizes from 12″ LP sleeves to 1″x1″ icon size.
    Kids these days.

    As much as i worship High on Fire, gotta give it to Sigh. That art has much more eye candy.

  • sev

    Sigh’s art is like 10x better. Seriously, no contest.

  • iolanach

    Sigh’s is awesome, but the HoF one just brings me back to my youth reading Conan comics. I give it the grand prize on nostalgia alone.

  • Kye

    Sigh, definitely.

  • Geekbeater

    Sign’s cover is one of the best ive ever seen! I know aboslutely nothing about their music but the cover is ridiculous.

    • Geekbeater

      I just went to their myspace and like I suspected…they suck a big bowl of dick.

    That Sigh cover is pretty fucking insane but i’m gonna have to say High On Fire!!

  • Facebook User

    sigh, cuz them and the red chord are tight as a butthole

  • Digger Nick

    These covers suck.

    I met Matt at the show at Pompano beach Amphitheater. He was walking own the sidewalk by himself. I had a nice conversation with him. He’s the coolet guy ever. met brent Hinds too. They were negotiating to buy a flying V guitar out of the back of a truck. Just a couple of normal dudes.
