Heavy Metal Cover Girls: Nights In White Satin

Hello and welcome to the promised second instalment of this week's Cover Girl marathon.

  I thought I might as well continue the theme of Colours if only because one particular folder was looking especially well-stuffed. So for today we're looking at album covers that share the common element of...

Women Wearing White Dresses.



   In particular, long, floaty white dresses that must be a sod to keep clean considering how much time these ladies spend wandering around in forests and moping about on castle floors.

   I've got white t-shirts that I spilt tea on once and the stain never came out. How the hell do this lot keep their white silk gowns looking so spotless? You never see anybody wearing faded grey gowns do you?

So here for your delight are a selection of lovely ladies wearing pretty dresses - who have the best laundry service in the entire Multiverse!

  Delozier - Battle Of Forevermore  (USA 2016)

  I think we all feel the same way about alarm clocks. 

The only track I can find from this CD is a slow ballad which doesn't seem representative of  Ric Delozier's work.

He's a pretty nifty guitarist though. Check this out.


Shiver Of Frontier - Memory of Destiny. (Japan 2016)


A dress that's so floaty it's airborne and so big that you could fit a bear under there with her.

Aha! That's how she gets it so voluminous!
Specially trained bears hiding under the fabric making it ripple!

Instead of the Gothic/Symphonic crew I was expecting, Shiver of Frontier are a very Japanese style of Power Metal.




 Sea of Despair - Море отчаяния (Russia 2015)

as it turns out, standing in a field waving a cage and shouting "Please get in" is a terrible way to catch a bird.

But it is a great way to catch a nasty chill. 

Sea of Despair describe themselves as "Romantic Metal" 
Can I take a moment to marvel again at how broad the term "Metal" covers?
You've got stuff like this which is rather pretty and then you've got the Black & Death Metal
I come across on the Metal Project which is deliberately ugly and brutal. 


Verona Septima - What Is Dead May Never Die Single (Finland 2013)

 Technically correct but I still feel there's a logical flaw there somewhere. 
I also fail to see how roses, teddy bears and a wedding dress fit that title.
It's a nice pic and all but where's the connection?

The band are, to nobody's great surprise, Symphonic Metal


Ariadna Project - Novus Mundis (Argentina 2016)


Let me take a stab in the dark and suggest that this album cover is all about The Illuminati
with the heroine in teh foreground standing in for Liberty and stuff.

Or she could have just found her front door key.
In a minute she'll turn around and realise that getting back into the flat in
time to catch "Bargain Hunt" is the least of her current worries.

Ariadna Project are Power Metal


Since it's getting a bit late I think I'll call it a night so sweet dreams to you all and see you tomorrow.

That's All folks.
