Some years ago I started to notice the change on design-style of the covers of the new metal bands. While the tendence is to merge sounds to achieve new kinds of harmony (even if for some common people, metal is just noise), the bands are playing more with the new tendences of design and showing high levels of quality in graphic compositions. Remember those skulls, galons of blood, reverted-crosses and humans-suffering-almost-dying? Not any more, the level of abstraction has increased and the public is perceiving that.

I’d like to share 17 bands that I’m listening on my iPod, with 1 song and the cover of the album. I hope you can appreciate the sound and the art that they put on this.
