Heavy Metal Cover Girls - Magical Maidens

  I had a number of possibilities for today's collection of album covers. Female Demons, Female Angels, women with violins, women who seem to be standing around nekkid for no apparent reason...I could even put together a selection of covers devoted to close ups of bums. (That would be the British meaning of the word.)
 But for now I'm going to go with the purveyors of the mystic arts. Whether these ladies are Good Witches or Bad Witches is up to you but personally, I suspect that the less clothing she has on, the more likely she is to be up to something.

 Doro & Warlock - Rare Diamonds (Germany 1991)

 

   Technically being a warlock requires possessing

 a penis but if Metal Queen Doro wants to be

 a female warlock, then I'm not going to argue.

Icarus Witch - Draw Down The Moon (USA 2010)

 

Why do witches never bother with protective clothing? 

A decent pair of gloves would probably come in handy right now.

 Aquaria - Shamballa (Brazil 2007)

I'm not sure if this is one of the good girls or not.

There's an ambiguous look in her eyes that 

suggests she's contemplating what to do to you.

If she starts smiling...run like hell!

Arctic Flame - Shake The Earth (USA 2012)

 Ah now this is definitely not the sort of witch that dishes

out poultices and cures toothache. After all, I struggle to

 see how a fire demon from the Outer Realms would 

be helpful in sorting out somebody's dodgy back molar.

Here's what the band sound like. Not bad.

Black Capricorn - S/T (Italy 2011)

 Sabbath-loving Italian Doomsters with a cover that's cartoony

but, you know what? I quite like it. At least she's worked out that 

she's less likely to get Cauldron Rash if she dresses appropriately.

There's a song on this album called " The Maelmhaedhoc O'Morgair Prophecy"

It doesn't seem to be on Youtube. sadly. 

Dark Moor - Tarot (Spain 2007)

If you look closely, you'll see that her pants are broken

and she's holding them up with one hand.

Helloween - Better Than Raw (Germany 1998)

Well that's an accident waiting to happen, isn't it?

And lastly, not actually by a Heavy Metal band unless your definition is very, very loose 

but screw it, I'm posting this anyway. 

Ten - Spellbound (UK 1999)

And the obvious question is:

Is the lovely lady in white trying to banish the dragon..

Or is she the one summoning it in the first place?

 That's it for now.

I might even do the "Bums" post next time.
