I would recommend removing the Tomb art. Also, Dawn of the Black Hearts has an extremely screwed up cover... Euronymous was sick.

Defeated Sanity - Psalms of the Moribund (http://diabolicalconquest.com/interviews/defeatedsanity/Defeated%20Sanity%20-%20Psalms%20of%20The%20Moribund.jpg)

Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-hP3GxcjKzE/Stp0_VrAWdI/AAAAAAAABO8/bzkam3_3d88/s320/Ashes+Against+The+Grain.jpg)

...Sick. But interesting. It's a bootleg anyways.

Agalloch - Ashes Against The Gray, which has already been posted.

In Flames - Come Clarity (http://www.savioursofrock.com/reviews/images/InFlamesComeClarity%282%29.jpg)

Pearl Jam - Ten (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/04/PearlJam-Ten.jpg)

All That Remains - The Fall Of Ideals (http://www.basementbar.com/images2%5Cfallofideals.jpg)

I can't really think of others that actually appeal to me. :>

Edit: Hurrrrr I got the title of Ten mixed up with a song I was listening to /fail XD

Almost all the Maiden albums, specifically Somewhere In Time (http://image.lyricspond.com/image/i/artist-iron-maiden/album-somewhere-in-time/cd-cover.jpg) is pretty sick, imo. Fear of the Dark and Brave New World have pretty good covers, as well.

Bottomline, can't mess with Eddie, dawg. Then again, I might be a bit biased. Just a bit, though.

Ulcerate - Of Fracture and Failure (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xfaydXUF-qY/SvlXb3WhNlI/AAAAAAAABd0/SMydLOB34Pk/s400/UlcerateOfFracture-i.bob!.jpg)

Quadrophenia - The Who (http://stuartfrew.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/quadrophenia-the-who1.jpg)
I like this cover because it tells you about the main character. One - he is a loner and two - his personality (4 of them) is made up of the four members of The Who, whose faces can be seen in each of the mirrors of his scooter.

In Through The Out Door - Led Zeppelin (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EpC1K6KZzNA/Rb9rvl3xZEI/AAAAAAAACw0/dBzXXjrwAjs/s400/Led_Zeppelin_-_In_Through_The_Out_Door-front.jpg)

The most epic album cover ever produced in my opinion. It consists of 6 alternate covers, each in black in white. When water is added to the black and white photos they become color. The album cover is centered around a man at the bar and the alternate covers are a view point of each character in the background.

I like the covers for 'Sounding Of The Seventh Trumpet' & 'City Of Evil' both by Avenged Sevenfold. I really like the art for the new Skillet CD...

Also, Getting Away With Murder by Papa Roach. Very cool.
