Rock Album Covers And Warrior Women (Chapter 2)

 Having explored the ugly side of album art last time, I feel it's only right and proper to post something easier on the eye. Here's another selection of broadsword-swinging ladies  from the covers of  Rock/ Metal albums. Enjoy. (And try and guess which ones I actually quite like)

Mass - War Law (Germany 1984)

metal album cover warrior woman red sonja
Fairly obviously based on Red Sonja  - The comic not the godawful film. 
 In a minute he's going to tell her to be careful with that sword 
before she has somebody's eye out. 

Burning Starr - Land Of The Dead (USA 2011)

Metal album Conan Belit
Assuming that's meant to be Conan up front then that could very well be 
Belit the Pirate-Queen behind him, waiting for the chance to get stuck in herself.
Look at her face. There's a girl looking forward to some mayhem. 
  

Deadline - Dressed To Kill (Italy 2000)


metal album warrior woman Sci-fi
And now more sci-fi take on the concept . Her gun is a bit pathetic mind you. 
What's she going to use it on. Voles? 

Jupiter - S/T (Spain 1987)


Rock album samurai
This elegant female samurai is wearing more clothes than usual but still inadequately protected against the rigours of space. 
This will not end well.
  

Crimson Valley - Crossing The Sky (Poland 2012)

metal album redhead dragon swordswoman
Bloody dragons. Worse than magpies for nicking stuff, so they are.
Brassieres in this case.

Steel Horse - Wild Power (Spain 2009)

Steel Horse - In The Storm (Spain 2011)


metal album woman with sword giant wolf
I'm assuming this young lady is a cross between Buffy and Rentokill. 
"Got a problem with enormous snakes? Giant Ghost-wolves scaring away the tourists?
Call this toll-free number and one of our  ladies will come round and kill their paranormal ass." 

And finally

 Power Symphony - Evillot (Italy 1999)

Metal album butt swordswoman
Apparently the Ancient Celts used to go into battle butt-naked.
"I'm so hard I don't even need pants. Watch me wave my tackle in your general direction"
I don't think that's the case here. I suspect the artist is rubbish at drawing armour but 
reckons he can paint a bum with the best of them. 


That's it for now. 
If you want to know where I found these, have a look over at the links panel on the right.

  1. Just in case anybody is wondering, my favourite cover = The one with the wolves.
