Heavy Metal Cover Girls Strike Back

  Time to post part two of our look at SF album covers. In most cases the SF element consists of "wearing a shiny catsuit and holding a blaster" but I don't really see a problem with that.

  The Soda Shop Records Comp 3

 Well, I was about..15% right on the shiny catsuit. The bit over her boobs is definitely very, very shiny. 

Shiny...

So shiny...

Where was I?  Ahem.

This is a free-to-download compilation which can be found at the above link. Go check it out. 

The next one brought some extra firepower. 

Kerion - Cloud Riders Part two: Technowars. (France 2015)

Girl with giant mech
I don't think you really need the swords love.

The band don't sound the way I expected . See for yourself. 


Dire Peril - Queen of The Galaxy EP (USA 2014)

How long did it take you to notice that there's another person on there?

I've had this cover in my folder for about 3 months and I only just noticed the robot-ninja thing.  

The band definitely like their SF. This track is inspired by Barbarella and guest stars the lead singer of Unleash the Archers. 



This nexct one is from the darker, more cynical end of SF.
Less Star Trek  (Shiny  and clean) and more Mad Max (Everything is shit and the people are nutters.)

Bobaflex -Anything That Moves (USA 2015)

I've never understoood why people who survived the apocalypse immediately start wearing the weirdest clothes. Why is she dressed like a  player from the Lingerie Bowl gone viking? Who knows.

The band are scuzzy Hard Rock and not bad at all.



I think this next young lady could use a nice big gun right about now.

Platzdarm - Another Breed EP (Russia 2015)

I have to go. Aliens just stole my date.

Check out their music at  https://platzdarm.bandcamp.com/
If you like the crunchier end of metal you might dig them.

That's all folks.

  1. I rather like that Kerion track.
    Dire Peril is a terrible name, but the music ain't bad.

    1. There are worse names. "Custard" for instance. Not the most metal word ever.

  2. Check out Bobaflex's "Bury me with my guns on", and I really enjoy " I'm glad you're dead". Both are bad@ss! You also owe it to yourself to check out Butcher Babies if you haven't already. "Never come back" is a good place to start!
