Metal Album Covers - Demons and Angels

   I could do a post on the many Conan/Elric/John Carter  clones to be found on the covers of Heavy Metal albums but where's the fun in that?
 So for your entertainment and edification I present another selection of young ladies who are armed and dangerous.
Except this time they've all got wings.

 Seven Kingdoms  (USA 2010)

The blonde hair, armour and glowing hammer suggest a lady on the 

side of goodness, regular bathing and liking puppies. 

 The bat wings and pile of bones suggest ...otherwise.

Mixed messages, much?

 Axxis - Paradise In Flames (Germany 2006)

I suppose she could be one of the good guys and the burning city 

behind her is just an unfortunate coincidence.

Mystria - The Dark Crusade (France 2008)

Whereas you are left in no doubt what side this lass is on.

The glowing eyes are a bit of a giveaway.  

Desdemon - The Awakening Ep (USA 2009)

 Desdemon - Through The Gates (USA 2011)

  Amazing how many female demons are quite easy on the eye, isn't it?

Silent Force - Worlds Apart (Germany 2004)

A rather hesitant looking cyborg-angel contemplates her options.

Spirit Heaven - Aria's Kingdom (Brazil 2001)

 

Proof that "Angel" and "nice" don't always dovetail. 

Well would you want to mess with her? I bloody wouldn't.

Brainstorm - Soul Temptation (Germany 2003)

Seeing a definite trend here. 

Female demons seem more likely to be packing steel.

And that's not all she's packing...ahem

Let's just pretend I didn't say that, shall we?

Stratovarius - Unbreakable EP (Finland 2013)

Redressing the balance towards the good girls somewhat.

Although "dressing" isn't really the appropriate word here.

Stratovarius - Nemesis (Finland 2013)

OK,  given that she seems to have gone all apocalyptic on humanity's ass,

  "Good" isn't really an appropriate word either.

Funnily enough I've never heard of the Book of Revelations saying anything

about a butt-nekkid redhead causing rains of fire.

and finally

Winter's Verge -  Beyond Vengeance (Greece 2012)

The forces of good and evil finally clash.

 Unfortunately since they forgot to wear any pants  an entire fleet 

got distracted and utterly failed to notice a ginormous frigging whirlpool.

Truly the power of boobs is a terrible thing.

That's all folks.
