Heavy Metal Cover Girls... A Glimpse Of Stocking.

Although "glimpse" isn't really the right word here. "Good Old Eyeful" would be better description but nobody's written that song yet.

  It's a little strange that in these liberal times, what's basically a long, thin sock held up by straps continues to fascinate so many men. If you want to go off and speak to an evolutionary psychologist about why that is, feel free.  The rest of you pull up a chair an enjoy the show.

 Moses Bandwidth - Emptiness, Loneliness, Sadness (Indonesia 2014)

Heavy metal cover girl stockings
 She likes stocking so much she has them on her arms too. 

I really don't know as much about Indonesian Metal as I should do so this was interesting.
I plan to find some live footage later on 



The Rods - Let The Eat Metal (USA 1984)

album cover woman underwear
An infamously tacky cover from the 1980s  and the least natural pose ever..
Is she having some sort of fit?

As I always say, bad album cover does not mean bad band and the title song is proper fist-in-the-air stuff.


Another great band next.


Bitches Sin- The First Temptation (UK 2004)

NWOBHM album sexy
She seems a wee bit bored if you ask me.

This is a compilation that uses a leftover shot from 1981
I wonder if the girl who posed for this cover even knows about this album? 
Hopefully she didn't find out when one of her kids brought the CD home...

Bitches Sin - Always Ready (single UK 1981)

  I have this single and it's pretty good.



Superfly 69 - Sing It With A Smile (Germany 2001)

Gil elvgren album cover cheesecake
Classic Gil Elvgren pinup stuff. that was quite racy back in the 1950s.
It's fairly obvious that she knows you're checking out her gams.

I'm not sure why she seems to be whistling. Maybe it's her way of saying "Here boy"

The band are more punk than metal but I am quite impressed.


 

 Alive - Before The Dawn (Moldova? 2013)

Metal cd stockings
Goths never quite get the point of sunbathing. 

I can't find much from this album so here's something from the 2016 album "Shadows of a lost soul"
Promising.



The Order - 1986 (Switzerland 2012)

sexy Metal album cover
I like this cover and not just because it's a young lady in her pants.
It describes perfectly what a blast a good music session can be.
 I wish I hadn't sold all my vinyl now.
Bugger.

Not surprisingly the band have that 1980s Eurometal sound.



Requinox - Through The Eyes Of The Dead (Norway 2012)

metal album cover stripper fight
Is that ...blood.. on her boot-heel?
Where the fuck does this girl dance? 
I've heard some horror stories about strip clubs but if I'm going to come out with stab wounds I don't think I want to go there. 

The band are gritty hard rock.



I hope you liked today's selection and I hope I introduced you to some cool new bands.
Please don't ask me for album covers with men in stockings.
I know they're probably out there but I'm just not going to post them. Sorry.

 That's all folks.

  1. Ah yes stockings, how I love them, but I also don't know exactly why.

    I spent about 5 months in Indonesia back in 1995, metal could be heard every time I took a bus or taxi around the towns. They actually had a fashion for the guys called "Rock Gods" where they all had long hair, studded wristbands and tattoos, they were often the ones who would date many of the foreign tourists.

    1. Metal has this amazing ability to thrive in all sorts of places you wouldn't expect - even countries that go out of their way to curb it.

  2. Hahaha, just chuckled my way through the Requinox video. Po-faced riffing, mixed with strangely galloping metal heads in the snow makes an odd combination.

    1. It's hard to see a video set in the snow without thinking immediately of The Black Satans.
