Favorite Black and White Albums

A list of my favorite albums with black and white covers. There's grey mixed in so it isn't a true kvlt list, but is unavoidable if the album art rules. Rec's are appreciated based on the taste of this list and if the album covers are black/white/grey - I'll add it here.
1Dodecahedron
Dodecahedron

Idk man, it's kinda hard for me to step away from this album. It isn't perfect, but what's executed when the band settles into some of these songs is exactly why I love this genre.
2Thantifaxath
Sacred White Noise

A pleasant surprise for me.
3Dodecahedron
Kwintessens

Yeah, I also really enjoyed this.

Still a bit too disjointed of a release and I wish it was ironed out a little bit more, but the addition of post-rocky atmosphere is not entirely out of place either. The 2.5 review does kind of upset me.
4Mr. Bungle
Disco Volante

Yeah, I'll count it.
5Godspeed You! Black Emperor
F♯ A♯ ∞
6Tool
Ænima
7Deathspell Omega
Diabolus Absconditus

Thinking this might be a little underrated?
8Deathspell Omega
Veritas Diaboli Manet in Aeternum

Deathspell has a chain that goes from me to this album.
9Joy Division
Unknown Pleasures
10Cult Leader
Lightless Walk

This album just grows and grows. Fantastic live as well. I have this on cassette from the show which was on a steady rotation in my car for a while.

57Timeghoul
Complete Discography

Ghoulin'.
58Centinex
Malleus Maleficarum

For some reason, I love this. Not sure how popular it is, or Centinex for that matter, on here tho
59System of a Down
Steal This Album!

I still can't place where this sits with System... probably 3rd.
60Mass Burial
Of Carrion and Pestilence
61Grave Ritual
Euphoric Hymns From the Altar of Death
62Krohm
A World Through Dead Eyes
63Envy
A Dead Sinking Story

Top Envy for me.
64Today Is the Day

65Cult of Luna
Salvation

Most of my post-metal days seem to be over, but this album certainly is a fond memory.
66Ion Dissonance
Breathing Is Irrelevant
67Rorcal
Vilagvege

Man, this is just destructive. Every time I put this on, it gets me IN THE MOOD if you know what I'm saying.

69Neurosis
Given to the Rising
70Caspian

71Altarage
Endinghent

Woah, just discovered this. This is so Portal but with chunkier tempos and breakdown riffs and less rasp vocals. Not as complex but groovy. Nice addition
72Pillorian
Obsidian Arc

Thanks for the rec, DarkZero!
73Intronaut
The Challenger

Maybe a little too white, but Whittler of Fortune always has my heart.
7465daysofstatic

A 5've I've forgotten about.
75Heaven In Her Arms
Erosion of the Black Speckle

Another gem.
76Cold Cell
Lowlife

DIGGING this.
77Rites of Spring
Rites of Spring
78Converge
All We Love We Leave Behind

Recently ranked 2nd on my Converge list. Shame it's so far down here but what're gonna do.
79Spirit Adrift
Behind - Beyond

Nice. This is also new to my ears
80Ufomammut
Snailking

Gentle crushes
81Ulver
Messe I.X-VI.X

Don't know my way around Ulver too well but I always enjoy this even though I can't "pick" a rating for it. Sits anywhere between a 3.5 and a 5 depending, which is broad I know, but very enjoyable nonetheless.
82Mgla
Exercises in Futility

My highest rated Mgla. I should jam them more.
83Mgla
Further Down the Nest

I like this one too.
84Meth Drinker
Meth Drinker

Good 'nuff.
85Defeated Sanity
Disposal Of The Dead // Dharmata

Let's see how this goes here.
86Ophis
Withered Shades

Let's get roasted.
87Entropia (PL)
Vesper

Am I falling in love with this new genre, or....

Endless hours of going through this site is what makes stuff like this all the more worthwhile. The title track is also a perfect piece. People talk about hard 5's, I don't think there is a more apt example than this.
88Rorschach
Remain Sedate

Switchin' it up a bit. A new discovery as well, but I'd call it a hardcore classic.
89Rorschach
Needlepack

Same as above. Adding it for consistency.
90Naked City
Naked City

Oh yeah, this. This is the only release I've heard from Naked City, but why wouldn't you want to put this on for the wonderful kicks now and then?
91The Slow Death
The Slow Death

Slow and Deadly, oof.
92Dead Kennedys
Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables

93Interpol
Interpol

I know I've heard Interpol before but I couldn't name a song if you wanted me to. I found this to be very enjoyable even though I'm not familiar with the band. Thanks for the rec, Point1!
