Heavy Metal Cover Girls: Swords and Crossbows and...Bears?

If you've been following the blog then you've probably guessed that I rather like A) Heavy Metal and B) Warrior Women. So let's have another post that combines both.

Descendant - Pass The Ammunition (Canada 2011)

blonde woman with bow album cover
 Isn't it weird how after the fall of civilisation everybody promptly
ditches their hardwearing denim in favour of leather chaps?
(Not just the women either - have you seen Mad Max 2?)

V/A -Heavy Metal OST (1981)

I own this one.
Of course I didn't buy it just for the cover ...
(The Sabbath and Cheap Trick tracks are bloody brilliant)

Cain's Dinasty - Madmen Witches And Vampires (Spain 2010)

 That's what you get for buying cheap knockoff chainmail
Look at the state of it!
And you're supposed to wear something underneath it.
If you're chafed to buggery then it's all your own fault.


Morning Starlett -S/T (USA 2012)

There's nothing like the satisfaction of a good day's work.
She gets to go home thinking "I did some quality violence today"
The band aren't bad actually.



And finally...
The greatest album cover in Metal History. 

Gloryful - The Warrior's Code (Germany 2013)

woman riding a polar bear album cover
A woman wearing a bikini. 
With a sword. 
On a Polar bear.
Fighting a Zombie-Squid thing in the snow.
 The sheer levels of awesome are off the scale.

That's all folks. 

(Ps. I found an most of these here: http://www.metalargentum.com/index.php )

    Had a close look @ `Descendant - Pass The Ammunition'
    Fascinating stuff Big D. Is that a real crossbow?

    Cheers, ic

      I doubt it. it looks like it was designed by somebody who spent the whole time cackling "Now I vill show zem all." and they had to physically restrain him from adding yet more laser-sights.

    That Morning Starlett cover is pretty ghastly; didn't notice the person hanging from the tree until I enlarged it. After watching their video, I agree, they're not bad, but the way that chick was waving her sword around, I wouldn't get too close to the stage...LOL :-D

    There are some sub-categories of these bow types that we won't get into here. There are advantages and disadvantages to each limb type that are too numerous to name here. For now, just keep in mind that you will need to decide which limb type is right for you when you choose your crossbow. Ravin R10 crossbow
