Heavy Metal Cover Girls: Maidens Of The Spear

Hello and welcome to a slightly overdue collection of Metal/Rock/AOR album covers celebrating the beauty of the female form. 
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...

Nubian Rose - Mental Revolution (Sweden 2014)

Frontwoman Sofia Lilja looking fierce and stuff.

Break Out

And now a band I have actually seen live

Cruachan - The Morrigan's Call (Ireland 2006)

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. 

The Wolves Of Avalon - Boudica's Last Stand (UK 2014)

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.

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.
