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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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.
