Or, if you prefer, where the band told the artist "Put a sexy girl on it"
The theme today is: Warrior Women with spears.
Hope you like them.
And remember to check out the music too.
Clamfight - I Versus The Glacier (USA 2013)
Blonde " Look yonder. The glacier awaits us. To arms and let us give battle"
Redhead: "Are you sure about this whole 'fighting a glacier' thing. It seems a bit silly. And why are you talking like that?"

The Eagle
Virgin Steele - Age Of Consent (USA 1988)
Ah, the classic "looking thoughtful on a mountain top" pose.
Hang on.
I've just noticed that the snake has a freaking face.
Oh dear gods, that's just wrong.
Let It Roar
Moving hurriedly on, for the sake of my sanity...

Break Out
And now a band I have actually seen live
The Morrigan was an old Celtic Goddess Of Battle, Strife and generally being very scary.
Whether she was actually a naturist is open to debate.

The Brown Bull of Cooley
Sticking with terrifying Celtic Amazons.
It seems appropriate for a British band to honour the legendary British warrior-queen .
They even used the proper spelling.

Sadly I couldn't find the wonderfully titled "The Icknield Way Is Dripping with the Juice of Our Marrow-Bones" on Youtube
So here's "Famished Wolves Befogged With Blood" instead.
That's all folks.

Seven Witches - Year Of The Witch (USA 2004)
She's looking a bit pensive, isn't she?
Fires Below
And finally
Tyr - Valkyrja (Faroe Islands 2013)
To me this cover screams of despair.
More specifically, the moment a young woman decides that she's had
enough of walking though fields littered with the bodies of young men.
And the uniform sucks too.
Blood Of Heroes
Let me know what you thought of the album art and the music and if you have any themes
you'd like me to do next time, stick something in the comments box.
As long as it doesn't involve naked men or torture porn, I'll see what I can do.That's all folks.
Loved this, the art and music – very sassy indeed.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate your comment Nickey. I like introducing people to cool new things.
DeleteBig D, you really find the best covers (very artistic and colorful) and interesting music. These are certainly “maidens of the spear” alright! I always love your entertaining captions too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lil. Heavy Metal covers can be fun and artistic at the same time. I have many, many more to come.
