Terrible Metal Album Covers - Chapter VI

Following on from my last post here's a selection of album covers where the artist was going for "Sexy" and landed squarely in "Tacky" instead.

Pandemonium - The Kill (USA 1988)

Considering she has a spike through her head and is about to be beaten 
to death by freaking werewolves, this young lady is surprisingly calm. 

Acid - Don't Lose Your Dreams (Germany 1989)

Definite mixed messages here. Anybody else thinking "Bunny Boiler"?
The band were subsequently unable to understand their lack of success in the USA. 
Bible Belt especially.

Gorgon's Eyes - Inglorious Birth (Germany 2007)

This would be a decent cover. If it was a video game. And 1999

 Bella Bestia - No Carina No (Spain 1988)

Are those scissors in her hand? 
Changes the whole dynamic of the pic right away, doesn't it?

 Cortina De Ferro - Temple Of The Darkness (1993)

I'll bet you saw this and immediately thought "Damn. She's got a big Ass."
Unless you're female in which case you're wondering where all her clothes got to.

 V/A - New York Nights (USA 1984)

Another woman who looks like she's high maintenance in a "Hide the knives" sorta way.
 And a guy in his pants.

 Blitzkrieg -Ready For Action (USA 1985)

If I was sunburnt that badly I'd be in a filthy mood too.
Also, she may possibly have been born a man.

 Devil Childe - S/T (USA 1985)

This isn't, in fact, the Queen of Hell, but one of her maids who got handed the
  screaming brat while the queen nipped off for a fag.
That would explain why she is clearly thinking "What the bloody hell am I supposed to do with this?"

 Doctor Death - Boobzilla Ep (UK 2007)

Now if somebody made this film I would definitely want to see it.
I'd likely hate myself afterwards, mind you.

Absolute Steel - The Fair Bitch Project (Norway 2002)

The execution is quite respectable but the concept?
Seriously guys. What the hell?
Then again, a quick look at the song titles reveals "Naughty Nanny",
 "Smooth and shaved" "Spread Your legs" so the cover really could have been tackier.

And lastly

Sheilan - Sheilan (Spain 1989)

Oh dear merciful Christ. Take it away.

That's all folks.

  1. Oof, that Shetian cover is the worst, with Pandemonium a close second...the gal on that cover looks like a guy with giant man boobs and an umbilical hernia!
