Going through my favorite album art from this year!

Listing 15 of the most striking and visually pleasing album covers from 2025, at least in my opinion. This list has nothing to do with the quality of the album itself, and is simply based on the art alone.

My choices (in alphabetical order, with cover artist listed):

Blackbraid - III (Adam Burke)
Darkenhold - Le fleau du rocher (Claudine Vrac)
Dessiderium - Keys to the Palace (Adam Burke)
Eminentia Tenebris - Whispers of the Undying (Rein van Oyen)
Ereb Altor - Halsingemorker (Christine Linde)
Fer De Lance - Fires on the Mountainside (Albert Bierstadt)
Grab - Kremess (Benjamin Konig)
Helloween - Giants & Monsters (Eliran Kantor)
Hooded Menace - Lachrymose Monuments of Obscuration (Wes Benscoter)
Jord - Emellan traden (Jorgen Strom)
Lady Beast - The Inner Alchemist (Adam Burke)
Ninkharsag - The Black Swords of Winter (Muhamad Candra)
