I've accidentally submitted the news a few times due to connection problems, could someone delete the excess ones.

In regards to the art, I think it's OK, I like the metal fillings idea around the coffin, but it's nothing groundbreaking.

i like the idea, but it looks really bad, especially the clean white part in the middle doesnt fit to the sketchy linesThis Message Edited On 07.17.08

I don't hate the cover, but it does seem a bit... lazy? Maybe they were going for a more stripped down appearance for this cover (it certainly worked for the Black album)...?

I like it. Its simple and to the point and actually references the album title. Their name looks badass on it too (the Metallica).

I agree with the badassness of the name, the cover is ok... simple and it works. It would kind of stand out in a music store.

It doesnt look that great but it does go really well with the album title. I really like how they made the Metallica look like its also being attracted(irony?)

I only respect this band for their early stuff (80's thrash)

Whoever wants this album to fail or thinks it will anyway, say "I"

I think the album art is a bit dull looking, but then again, it is a magnetic coffin underground with the magnetic forces being represented by the black lines... can't do much else except engrave a cross into the coffin?

Good concept for a cover, but the photoshop work on the coffin was way too simplistic, the shadows. It's just way too undefined and yet clean and simple at the same time. Ugh. Not too bad, but yeah..

It's a tad obvious, and reminds me of a typical Alkaline Trio cover (if it wasn't so white). But other than that I think it's alright - except I'm pretty sure the album is going to be a fistful of shit.

It is iron filings, didn't any of you do preschool science?

I can't wait for the first clown shoe newb to use the avatar. Then again, I dare a regular to do it and see if they get murdered. Then again! Where is Edgecrusher, he wanted to fly the album flag on his mum's car, I'm sure he'll take up the challenge.

The cover looks pretty cool in a striped down simplistic kinda way.

All it needs is a name change to 'Welcome to my hole!'
