Heavy Metal Cover Girls: Motorcyle Mamas.

 It's been well over a year since I did a Cover Girls post so here we go.  

For those of you wondering what the hell this is all about let me explain. 

The short version: Album covers with women on them, 

usually pretty, frequently badass, sometimes downright disturbing. 

The longer version: Over the years I have noticed that rock and 

metal cover artists have themes that they keep coming back to: 
warriors, monsters, machines, things on fire and so on.

As a general rule of thumb, if a theme has been used once,

somebody else WILL do their own version of it. 

Now you'd think that "Just put a hot babe on the cover"

is a theme in itself  and yes, there are covers like that. 

However I am more interested in album covers which 

put in significantly  more effort to set a theme

and give you at least an idea of the tone of the album.

Anyway, you're probably wanting me to STFU and get on with it.

Bitch Queen - Kill Your Friends (Switzerland 2014)

Ooh, not a happy young lady is she?

If this was a movie poster you just know there's some

 "Carrie" levels of mayhem incoming. 

Bloody Nightmare - Hellwolf (Colombia 2018)

 Young lady, where is your helmet? 

Where is your jacket and bike boots?

Then again, if you're riding pillion on a flaming bike, with 

a satanic werewolf  at the controls and

 ..wait... is that fucking lava? 

Never mind, safety is not a big priority with you is it? 

Next up,  another topless pillion rider because once again, if it has been done once,

it has been done twice and maybe a dozen times.

Metaluria - Fuerzas En la Noche (Argentina 2016)

The band turned up with a list of things they wanted on the cover.

"We want motorbikes..and a sexy babe..and a guitar..and MONSTER TRUCKS

and it has to be totally badass. " and to his credit, the artist delivered. 

Stutz - Keep Runnin' (USA 2022)

 I am beginning to see a bit of a trend here. 

None of these Cover Girls are in it just for 

the pleasure of the open road and the

 cameraderie of the motorcycle community. 

Anyway, our blonde anti-heroine is clearly 

having the time of her life so...

Good for you, I guess?

War Of Shards - Two Oaths (Single Russia 2019)

A lot going on here, 
Sci-fi bikes that owe a lot to Akira and/or Tron.

Some sort of hot pursuit.

Bit unclear whether these are heroes or baddies.

And once again, a blatant disregard for even the most basic safety standards. 

I have enough motorbike covers for a second post and for that one,

I plan to go with something a bit less ..destructive.

That's All Folks
