6. Pantera: Vulgar Display Of Power

The artist here is a not a painter or illustrator but a photographer by the name of Brad Guice. For that reason, I find this to be the most unconventional album cover and even though it wasn't 'designed' in the traditional sense of the word, through Brad's photograph the cover successfully represents the sheer unabated brute force with which the songs on this album knock the listener down flat. As the demon possessing Regan MacNeil in the movie 'The Exorcist' would say, "That's too much vulgar a display of power".
