Why do metal album covers almost always have a 2edgy4u aesthetic?

It's 10000 times better than Kendrick Lamer's cover nu-male

>>72164708
It's a tradition at this point
We know it's cheesy but whatever

>>72164708
because they hire artists instead of their ketamine dealer's friend who has a cracked version of photoshop on their mac pro

>>72164708
maybe because they're trying to convey what the music's going to sound like on the cover? like the point of most album covers?

I love hand drawn album art

If you are going to make fun of metal covers you could do a lot worse than that pic. That's on the classy/restrained end of the scale

>>72165234
OP is perfectly aware of that, you know.

It's just death metal and it's subgenres that have shit edgy covers.

>>72164708
why not? it's expression. but I'm not a fan of this idea that artists have to stick to some idea of maturity or tastefulness

at least they have a sincere interest in whatever retarded shit is on their cover
