The Mumakil album cover is special for me, the LOTR inspired cover and the Mumakil with the Southron hordes is very unique, as is the album title "Behold the Failure", which is like a big homage to the defeat of Sauron's armies in the "Battle of the Ring" I know we're talking music here, but things like album covers can sway votes and Mumakil has done that with me.

Heh. It's funny that
that's what you hone in on. But since you brought up imagery: To me a metal band referencing LOTR doesn't seem particularly unique. On the other hand, Gridlink's high-tech looking Chinese demon imagery (a motif continued on their second album below) is very unique, both for grindcore and for metal as a whole.
