I love Voivod's artwork especially these ones:

ANGEL RAT

WAR & PAIN

Away's artwork might not be to everyone's taste, but to me it's the perfect embodiment of the band's music. Visionary sounds complimented by visionary art.

Besides AWAY (of course!) one of my favorite artists ever is Kent Mathieu!

Severed Survival (original) & Hexx-Quest For Sanity amongst my faves of his...

Joe Petagno's work is more than worthy of a mention too, obviously for his Motorhead covers, but if you dig through your collections you'd be amazed at the number and variety of covers he's designed for a myriad of bands.
Here are a couple of examples of his awesome work:

Probably my favourite artist when it comes to metal artworks. "Open the Gates" is one of the best covers in the realm of metal. I can stare at it for hours. It embodies the music perfectly.

Apparently this French artist did a lot of other drawings besides metal covers for Black Dragon. Well, post some pictures in here till we get a great compilation of his works.

Yeah there's everything about him on the link I posted earlier! I didn't know he would draw so many classic covers.

I like his style very much indeed, and I have one of his drawings tattoed on me:

The cover of Graceful Inheritance still stuns me. Can't fathom why it wasn't used for the later CD.
