Heavy Metal Cover Girls: Sexy Silhouettes

This is the seventh and final post in this series and believe me, I've barely scratched the surface of Cover girl artwork.  I reckon I could probably do two posts just on close ups of butt-cheeks.  Maybe one day...

  In the meantime, before I go back to writing snarky things about bad movies, I'll share with you a small selection of coves that celebrate the female form in the purest sense.

 Please note that I'm using a very loose definition of "Metal" here. Expect to see Hair Metal, Hard Rock and AOR  showing up on this page. Hey, I can remember the days when "Eye of The Tiger" was classed as a Heavy Metal single!

 Stonelake - Marching On Timeless Tales (Sweden 2011)

I think weird extradimensional shit is about to happen but at least one person is looking forward to it. 


Be warned, this is also the last cover where clothing is a feature. 

Stonelake are chugging HM.enhanced by some interesting synths

Lord Tracey - Porn Again (USA 2008)

I've always wondered how female demons found underpants to fit, the tails presumably making thinks awkward.
This infernal cutie solves the problem by not wearing any.

Lord Tracey feature the original vocalist from Pantera's Glam days and are fun Hard Rock  

Hot City- Feel The Heat (USA 1985)

A cover that features both arson and arsin' about.

I am so sorry. 

If you like cult 80s AOR you may dig Hot City.


Feridea - Into A Dawn EP (Finland 2015)

I think this may qualify as actual art. 
Or she's trying to combine yoga and toweling herself dry. 

The band are Symphonic Power Metal
I'm trying to think who they remind me of. Edenbridge?
Let me know what you think.
Kinda hoping the lead singer didn't end up getting a nasty chill. That looked cold. 

ExDevils - Built For Sin (USA 2015)

...Aaand you're already getting a mental image of what the band sound like, aren't you? 
Sleazy biker rock that stinks of oil and Jack Daniels and as subtle as TNT.

Let's see if we're right.


And finally...

Lorraine - Boy's Night Out (USA 1993)

 A pink CD cover with a nude poledancer is just not going to be Thrash Metal is it?  
I've only just noticed that there seems to be a pissed off transvestite's face in the background. 

Sadly there doesn't seem to be any of their music available on Youtube so we shall have to remain curious.  

  I hope you enjoyed all the covers I posted this week. I hope you enjoyed the music and if you have any themes you want to see, please let me know.


 That's all folks.

  1. It's good to leave something to the imagination. I didn't realise all the different types of heavy metal covers.

    1. There's a surprising amount of variation isn't there?
