Album Covers And Warrior Women

 I thought it was about time I pulled out another selection of album covers featuring tooled-up young ladies.  I'll start with a band that don't really fit under the label "Heavy Metal"

Ten -Stormwarning (UK 2011)

Is she a warrior-princess contemplating the city she just put to the sword and the flame?

Or is our heroine gazing upon her destroyed home for the last time and planning vengeance?

Personally I think she's wondering who nicked her trousers.

Ten - Heresy and Creed (UK 2012)

I suspect this is not a historically accurate depiction of the Crusades.

 

Metalium - As One (Chapter Four) (Germany 2004)

Frankly she doesn't need a sword. With all those blades and spikes sticking out of her, 

she'd kill you just by brushing past in a corridor.  

Metalium - Demons Of Insanity (Chapter Five) (Germany  2005)

See? What did I tell you? She wasn't watching where she was going and her 

shoulder-spikes burst that...giant-ass egg-thing. 

 Now the place is a right mess and her Evil Overlord parents are going to be home any minute. 

 Bloodthorn - Onwards Into Battle (Norway 1999) 

She could never understand why guys didn't want to talk to her.

 Dragonforce-Valley Of the Damned (UK 2003)

Note that the horses are behind the chariot. 

This was a major design flaw and led to some embarrassing accidents

And finally

Thor - El Pacto (Argentina 1985)

Look at the picture above.

Now look at this still of Martine Beswick from the 1966 Hammer flick "Prehistoric Women". 

Cunningly giving her a spear and a scale mail loincloth seems to

 have been enough to stave off the lawyers.

 That's all for now folks.
