This time the theme is: Mermaids.
Forget Ariel. These gals are more like the comely-but-lethal predators from the last Pirates Of The Caribbean movie.
And I just have to ask...
How do they all get their hair looking so nice?
My Legal Crime - The Siren (2014 Russian?)
She looks peeved but I suppose if somebody dumped a
trawler in my back garden, I'd be annoyed too.
Band are more Rock than Metal but not bad at all.
Syren's Call - Fantasea (France 2000)
To a mermaid, nothing is more humiliating than being stuck on land, naked in public..
and you can't remember how to transform fins to feet.
Just out of shot - all her mates laughing their gills off.
Luckily mermaids haven't invented cameraphones otherwise she'd never live this down.

Siren - A Kingdom Aflame (UK 2014)
Now this girl has mastered the art of "Legs"
Still working on the next lesson ("Clothes") but give it time.
Right now she's busy drowning some sailors that pissed her off.
I'm always delighted when I can feature a British band on here so please check them out.
Broken Arrow - Abyss Of Darkness (Italy 2003)
Mermaids like tinned food too.
Err..why is there a monkey in a spacesuit on this album cover?
A dead monkey even?

The next two feature mermaids basking. They seem to do that a lot.
Lyraka - Vol 1 (USA 2010)
A concept album featuring some quite high-profile names - Graham Bonnet (Rainbow), Veronica Freeman (Benedictum), Al Atkins (Judas Priest) Tommy Heart (Fair Warning) and Mark Boals (Everybody!) - IIRC, there was a comic involved too.
Honour to: Lyraka
Trelleborg - In The Name Of Love (Single 2011 Russia)
The song itself is rather interesting.
It's sort of ...Sea-shanty-Symphonic-Folk-and-other-stuff - Metal
See what you think.
And finally, a reminder that mermaids have to fight for their place on the top of the food chain.
Siren's Legacy - The Kraken (Germany 2013)
My money is on the mermaid.
Does she look frightened to you?
And I'm going to go burn my swimming trunks because there's no bloody way I'm getting
anywhere near the sea until somebody offers conclusive proof that this squid thing doesn't actually exist.
If you have a theme you'd like to see, I'd love to hear it.
That's all folks.
Hi Big D,
ReplyDeleteJust a heads up; if you haven't seen it already, the new Ten album, due out very soon, has a cover that should feature in a post about albums featuring scantily dressed warrior women.
:o)
Cheers

Hi PM,
DeleteCheers for the heads-up. I've seen the cover you mean and next time I do a "Women with swords" collection it's going to be first one up!
With a bit of luck they'll do a t-shirt too.
Hey Big D,
ReplyDeleteAm jealous, it seems that the plague of our modern world doesnt seem to impact mermaids...Obese Mermaids anyone?
As for a theme, how about a "campest metal covers of all time"? ;-)
There are a few album covers out there featuring the ..ahem...fuller figured woman.
Delete(As an example - http://moole.ru/uploads/posts/2011-03/1298955632_inside.jpg)
But normally the girls are big only in certain areas.
Campest metal cover? Manowar. The answer is always going to be Manowar.
You've definitely unearthed an interesting theme here. Good question about the hair being so neat, especially since all mermaid seem to have long hair. Seems like they'd be better off bald.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they use their hair to catch fish.
DeleteOk...that was a disturbing mental image. Let's pretend I never said that.
