Heavy Metal Cover Girls: Fallen Angels, Succubi and Other Wicked Women

Given Heavy Metal's status as "The Devil's Music" it's not surprising that female demons are a popular choice for cover art. I suppose you could say that the infernal cuties on this page are the ultimate expression of "Beautiful But Dangerous."

 A Sound Of Thunder - Queen Of Hell EP (USA 2012)

demon queen
She looks a bit bored if you ask me. 
Or possibly she's regretting getting her horns done - they didn't come out the way she wanted at all.
 The band aren't bad . Here's the title track off that EP.

Kneipenterroristen - Das Jungste Gericht (Ger 2011)

Woman riding a bomb
Whereas this girl looks like she has a job to do and she intends to make sure it's done right.
Said job being wrecking humanity's shit good and proper.

Incubus - To The Devil A Daughter (UK 1984)

Woman summoned by magic
The reason Lil' Miss Beelzebub is looking annoyed is that when these
bozos summoned her, she was at a really good party in Gehenna.
They made her spill her drink and everything.

Hell In The Club - Let the Games Begin (Italy 2011)

sexy demoness
You know getting involved with her is a bad idea.
You know she will wreck your life
You know she's probably going to eat your soul.
And you're going to do it anyway.
See you in hell, my friend.
If you like LA Cock Rock and vids with strippers, you might like these guys.

Cradle of Filth - The Manticore And Other Horrors (UK 2012)

female demon with wings
I checked. A manticore is a beast with the body of a lion, the head of a man and the sting of a scorpion, possibly with wings.
So not a girl in a leather swimsuit then.
No wonder she's looking peeved. 

Imperial Age - Turn The Sun Off (Russia 2013)

sexy demon
Smoking is bad for you, kids. Don't do it.
Obviously smashing planets for your own amusment is not nice either.
Here's what they sound like. "Grandiose" is not the word.

 And finally.

Iced Earth - Days Of Purgatory (USA 1997)

 Purgatori female demon

Ok, so this young lady isn't going to seduce you and steal your heart.
She's just going to rip it out through your nostrils and eat it.
(Rather cunningly, this cover uses the comics character Purgatori 
See what they did there?)

That's all folks.

  1. An interesting assortment of she-devils. Imperial Age definitely has a unique schtick. I have to say, I've never heard of the genre, "Cock Rock." Too funny! As usual, your comments were very entertaining...so good!

  3. ***A Sound Of Thunder - Queen Of Hell EP (USA 2012)

    I'll go for the Goth every-time.

    Do you really think she's regretting getting her horns done BigD? I thought she may be wondering if her bum looks big in that heavy metal outfit.
    Cheers, ic
