The best metal album covers of September 2019

Artistic creativity matched by the very music it represents.

As we move into the last quarter of the year, labels are piling on the heat and making the metal interwebs doubt their tentative year end lists week after week. With great music comes great art and the artistry present on many of these compositions is among the best of the year thus far with Caroline Harrison's vibrant gouache painting on WEEPING SORE's False Confession and Zbigniew M. Bielak's intricate work on Mgła's Age of Excuse being perfect examples. The cover paintings are worth purchasing alone, but the music embodied within is of similar quality, that being elite.
