"The artwork for metal music is often designed to reflect the themes and styles present in the music itself."
This can include dark, gloomy, or violent imagery, as well as more fantastical or otherworldly themes. The artwork for metal albums may also include elements that are specific to the band or the individual album. Some metal bands put a lot of effort into creating visually striking artwork for their releases, as they see it as an important part of the overall package and a way to stand out in a crowded market.
