   • Derek Riggs. There is one face more synonymous with metal than that of any musician: Eddie, AKA Ed The Head, AKA Ed Hunter, the zombified mascot of Iron Maiden who was created and painted by artist Derek Riggs.
   • Wes Benscoter. It’s rare that an artist can make extreme metal’s horrific face look elegant and poetic, but Wes Benscoter found a way. While his most recognizable work is certainly the cosmic skeleton from Slayer’s 1994 album Divine Intervention, denizens of metal’s more horrifying hells will recognize his art from albums by Kreator, Cattle Decapitation, Mortician, Nile, and Autopsy to name a few (his cover for Autopsy’s Tourniquets, Hacksaws, And Graves, included above, being especially spectacular).
   • Joe Petagno. The primal, evocative artwork of Joe Petagno can be seen all across heavy metal as a whole, gracing album covers by bands including Angelcorpse, Spirit Adrift, Autopsy, Marduk, and Genocide Pact (to name a few).
   • Ed Repka. When one thinks of thrash metal art, they usual picture an Ed Repka album cover. The painter’s ability to draw nuclear wastelands and rotting corpses in livid detail helped define the genre’s entire look, both in the ’80s and during thrash’s return in the late ’00s/early 2010s.
