Heavy Metal Cover Girls: Don't Fear The Reapers

 Evening all. 

  I haven't done an HMCG post in a while so i thought it was about time I dug into my collection of album covers - lovingly gathered from all over the internet - and put up another collection of beautiful ladies doing Metal stuff.   

  Then I had a bright idea. 

I've already done an entire week of Metal Project posts. Why not do the same for HMCG?

Which is why, for the next seven days I will be posting album covers for your perusal. 

Some will be themes I've done before but I promise I'll post some new stuff as well. 

So without further ado... here we go.

The theme today is "Women With Scythes."  Not the Grim Reaper of legend (not unless he's had a glam makeover and a bit of serious body modification) but definitely about to harvest somebody.

All our times have come...

Here but now they're gone.... 

 Thunder And Lightning - In Charge Of The Scythe (Germany 2013)

    I think somebody just got demoted to Afterlife Tea Boy. 

I like the artwork on this. Very much like something you'd see on a comic.
I'd probably definitely buy that comic too. 

If you like melodic, thundering Power Metal these guys might float yer boat. 

Elvenking - The Scythe (Italy 2007)

  Is it just me or does she look really pissed off? 

In fact, she looks like she cut her way back out of the afterlife to sort out some unfinished business. 

You can stay and chat to her if you like. I'm legging it. 

Elvenking are more tuneful than you'd expect from the cover.

Ishtar - Conquest (S. Korea 2011)

Technically that's probably an axe .

Or it could be springloaded and when she lets go of the blade it springs out with a "BOYOIIINNGGG!"

Fun times - unless you're in the way. 

As far as I can tell Ishtar are a bit like older Nightwish.
(Sort of on the border of Power Metal and Symphonic)
Which might explain why Tarja picked them to open up for her Japan tour.  

Lady Reaper  S/T(Italy 2015)

 I have no idea why she isn't wearing underpants and frankly I don't care..

These young Italians are straight up HM.

And finally, a band that are a bit of a mystery. 

Something Obscura

Year, nationality and actual band name unknown.

Does anybody know any more about them? 

That's all folks.

See you tomorrow.
