Probably Virus's "The Agent That Shapes The Desert." While it's not detailed like an Iron Maiden album that would bring you on an adventure akin to Where's Wally, searching around for all the little jokes, it stands out against other album covers because of how monotone it is, especially the actual colour which you don't see on many album covers as a primary colour. The skeleton really drives home the desolation it tries to get across, which is pretty much a main theme of the album which is face-slappingly obvious when you take a look at the tracklist. With such classic hits as Parched Rapids, Red Desert Sands and the family favourite Dead Cities of Syria. The album really tries to paint the picture of deserts littered with carcasses buried for decades by scorching winds, where time is completely warped and if you enter you are lost to it, a wandering soul from then onward. At least that's what it does for me.

Who's the most famous musician you've met?
Who do you think is the biggest idiot in metal and why? Who would be your favourite metal babe? Do you dress like a metalhead? What was the last album that you bought? What was your favourite gig this year? Any upcoming gigs you're looking forward to? Do you keep up to date with the Irish rock/metal scene and, if so, any bands we should watch out for? Could you name your all-time favourite band? What is your favourite aspect of the rock/metal scene and, conversely, what is your least favourite? Is there a rock/metal band out there with loads of fans that you just don't get? |
