There’s a Facebook Page for pretty much everything, from celebrity pets to Periscope puddles, and one that’s caught our eye this week is the excellently titled ‘Minimalist awful album art on ms paint and also avant garde haikus’

The anonymous artist and haiku master reimagines album covers from all ends of the music spectrum – from Prince to Deafheaven. Here we’ve collected ten of our favourite minimalist metal album covers for you to have a quick scroll through. Our art skills are nowhere near this good.
