Heavy Metal Cover Girls - In Wimples

 Hello and welcome to another edition of Heavy Metal Cover Girls; a series where I post Rock/Metal album covers linked by a theme and then attempt to say something interesting about each one. 

 Or at least something better than "BOOBS!" anyway.

Nuns are on more metal album covers than you would think.  At first sight the combination of  a music form known for being anti-religious and women known for devoting themselves to Christ is an odd one.

 Then again, as we shall see, these nuns have taken a walk on the wild side. 


Lorihen - Bajo La Cruz (Argentina 2007)

LORIHEN - BAJO LA CRUZ

Let's be charitable and pretend she's looking up at the altar with religious devotion.


Moving on. 

Bongtower - Altered States (Russia 2019)

Bongtower - Altered States

I think this is a metaphor for the constant struggle to remain on the right path in the face of temptation and peer pressure. 
 Or a Stoner band wanted to see nuns getting baked. 

 
Waddya know, nuns and booze are on the next one too. 

Junkyard Drive - Sin And Tonic (Denmark 2017)

Junkyard Drive - Sin And Tonic

 You can just tell what this band sound like from the cover alone.  Which means it's done its job, I guess.
 
  I'm beginning to suspect some of these women aren't really nuns at all...


Knighthood - Bad Habits (UK 2014)

Knighthood - Bad Habits

Oops sorry, wrong church. We were looking for St. Judes. They're having a bake sale today.

You aren't having bake sale, by any chance?

No?

OK then, we'll just be leaving. Sorry for interrupting.


At this point we're beyond "nuns behaving badly" and reached "nuns going into Ken Russell territory."


Darkest Sins - S/T (Norway 2012)

Darkest Sins - ST

Whatever is going on here, it's heavily implied that the nun is enjoying herself.
Each to their own 


Burdel King  -  Si Dios Esta en Todas Partes... Fuego a Discreción!   (Spain 2016)

Si Dios Esta en Todas Partes... Fuego a Discreción!

Well this isn't St. Judes either.
We're looking for the bake sale...
No we aren't naughty and need spanking.
We just wanted a nice sponge cake.
No that isn't a code for anything!
BYEEE!


Besatt - Impia Symphonia EP (Poland 2015)

Besatt - Impia Symphonia

BOOBS!

And that's all folks
