Metalcatto’s Top Artworks of 2025

Metalcatto & Lunart

Here we are, back with another list of cover arts that reminds us that the art isn’t only in the music, but also in the artwork we’re hit with first, because we ALL judge an album by its cover—let’s keep it real. Also, as usual, I recruited Lunar, an actual museum curator.

Metalcatto

It’s been a while since we reviewed something darker than your credit score. Dormant Ordeal has already been flirting with glory before. The band isn’t just some other pointless, bashingly heavy act. If anything, it reminds what Behemoth would sound like if it truly embraced Black Metal and stopped the edginess. Hence, Tooth and Nail comes with the difficult task of putting the band where it should be, the top of the Metalsphere. Let’s see if the music fits the art quality.
