Ihaven't done a Cover Girls post in a while - not since March, in fact - and since my album folder is bulging at the seams, I thought I'd better rattle one off quick. However this will not be the usual format; which is where I post a bunch of covers on a theme and attempt to be witty.
No, the only things connecting these covers are that 1. they have a woman on it and 2. they could easily feature on Terrible Metal Album Covers instead. This might be down to a dodgy theme, poor composition or a general lack of artistic...anything. See what you think.
Ted Nugent - Love Grenade (USA 2007)
Ok, so the artist can draw but while this might be an attempt at a "playful" old-fashioned pinup, it just comes across as tacky.
Perpetual Rage - Empress Of The Cold Stars (Finland 2017)
You can sort of see what they were going for - an Indie comics vibe - but don't quite pull it off.
The next band are more prog than metal but while I'm here...
Forest Field - Angels (NLD 2015)
Hungry Wolf - Metal Bitch (Russia 2015)
What the fuck is wrong with her neck?!
And finally
Zardoz - Bombastic Plastic EP (Germany 1998)
Words fail me.
Remember that bad cover does not equal bad band
That's All Folks
