My two fave album cover artists are Roger Dean (Yes, Gentle Giant,
Greenslade and many more) and Rodney Matthews (Magnum, Diamond Head
and others). The cover to Magnum's "On a Storytellers Night" is
superb.
Other favourites of mine include Sabbath's "Mob Rules", Hawkwind's
"Choose Your Masques" and "Sonic Attack", Priest's "Turbo" and,
best of all, "Heaven or Hollywood" by Uncle Sam.

IMO, Hugh Syme does the best covers. He does all the covers for
Rush, and I have seen his name on Y&T's Contagious album and also on
Whitesnake's self-entitled album. I know he has done a lot of other
albums, but I can't quite think of them right now.

More great album covers:
To Megatherion - Celtic Frost. Artwork by H.R. Giger, the man who
designed most of the gooey bits in Alien, and purveyor of some of
the most disturbing artwork I've ever seen.
In to the Pandemonium - Celtic Frost. The cover to this is a detail
from Heironymus Bosch's "Garden of Delights".
No Remorse (Limited Edition) - Motorhead. Silver Motorhead on a
black leather cover.
And another vote for Cultosaurus Erectus.

RE:2 I also wondered what Sabbaths' "Paranoid" cover was. My theory
is that it's an insane person (straight jacket) who is displaying
the classic symptyoms of paranoia by brandishing the sword he has.
My vote for best cover art goes to Iron Maiden. The cover to
"Powerslave" kept me enthralled for hours. The cover to "Peace
Sells, But Who's Buyin?" is also excellent. Dio's "Holy Diver"
has a provocative cover. The list goes on and on. Great topic
idea!

It may not be under the Heavy Metal listing but Bostons first album
cover art was great...The city inside a space ship. Taking a closer
look, or flipping the cover upside down would make it easier to notice
that the ship was in the shape of a guitar...
The cars album with the Babe on the sports car is a great drawing.
Jeff Becks Pastel drawing of him jammimg on either Blow by Blow, or
wired is nice work.

ZZtop's Afterburner and Styx's Grand Illusion are non-metal covers
that are also cool.
I think Boris has done some other album covers I'm going to have
to check into it.
I almost forgot completely about Iron Maiden. That art work is
great! It really captures the spirit of the albums.
Zep has a few good ones also. I like Zep IV's cover and Zep I cover
is a famous photograph (or painting I forget).
I also like Priest's Point of Entry. The Computer Paper extending
into the distance is trying to say something but I can't really
figure the meaning out.

Some of me favourites - and I've bought an LP or two mainly on the
strength of the cover!
Rodney Matthews:
Magnum - Chase the Dragon, The Eleventh Hour, Storteller's Night
Diamond Head - Borrowed Time
Praying Mantis - Time Tells no lies
Dio - Holy Diver, Last in Line
All the Derek Riggs Iron Maiden covers - esp 7th Son
Marillion - Script for a Jesters tear, Fugazi
Pallas - The Sentinel
Y & T - Black Tiger, Mean Streak
Led Zep III & Houses of the Holy
Black Sabbath - Live Evil
Deep Purple - Book of Taliesyn, Deep Purple, In Rock
Bernie Marsden - Look at me Now
Whitesnake - Lovehunter, Come 'n' Get it
Def leppard - Hysteria
Uriah Heep - Demons & Wizards, Magicians Birthday
Gillan - IGB, Future Shock, Magic
Rainbow - Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, Rising, Difficult to Cure
any Molly Hatchet
Cream - Disraeli Gears, Wheels of Fire
ZZ top - Eliminator, etc
Motorhead - No Remorse (the Leather one)
Phenomena I (Glenn Hughes/Mel Galley) (Luminous cover)
Uli Roth - Electric Sun
Asia - Asia
most Yes covers
Yngwie - Rising force, Trilogy etc...
Michael Schenker Group - MSG (II) - embossed all over
Phew! - I like mainly Fantasy Art - but there's some good Photos
around, e.g. UFO - Lights Out, Obsession, Floyd - Ummagumma
(recursive), Echoes (took me ages to work out it was an ear!)
There seem to be a fair few lewd covers, Sammy Hagar - Standing
Hampton, or Roger Waters - Hitch-hiking , particularly the Scorpions/UFO
ones (Yes I've got the banned Vigin Killers),
Sometimes when a record is re-released, not only do you get a single
cover instead of a double, but metallic foil is lost - e.g.
MAgnum II and Kiss - Double Platinum, but the embossing is lost
as well. So much for the 'in the original sleeve' marketing ploy.
It does seem that this genre of music is particularly prone to
good artwork - praphs coz the album is seen as an artistic entity,
not just a cash in on the charts. We ususally get inner sleeves
and the words more than the usual Chart Album.
Part of the pleasure for me is studying the cover, reading the sleeve
notes whilst playing my latest aquisition - What we gonna do when
its all CD?? The foldout sheets are a joke.
Does any one have a favourite designer - Hipgnosis, Shoot that Tiger
etc....?
There are several books on LP album cover art - including a one
specially devoted to HM.

| Re :.39 ( I think)
When it turns to Cd land only (which I doubt it ever will), I'm
sure that they will be printing booklets that fit inside the case
that will be as good as or even better then album covers. Sure
you don't have the size to work with, but they can do things like
they did on the ZZtop six pack. They have an entire booklet telling
about the band's history and why they made the 6 album CD set.
It also has some great art work on the booklet. Other Cd's have
some decent booklets inside of them. ( Like O:MC, Savage Amusement,
Delicate Sound of Thunder, and Now and Zen to name a few that I
like.) I think that the CD's will be an exciting new medium for
the producers and artists to get visual messages across.

Death Cd it has Metal Shots Of The Group, All the Lyrics To The Songs and

I think cd's are better than records or tapes.

| I've noticed more than a few old covers were redone due to
offensive material (not to me though). I had the original
Scorpions "Lovedrive" cover when it came out. When it dissappeared,
I went to replace it and got a goofy cover with a scorpion
on the front, how original.
I do still have the original Golden Earring "Moontan" with the
nude woman with the funky moontan. I know they came out with a toned
down cover after that.
As far as artwork goes I'm surprised no one has mentioned
Uriah Heep. "Demons and Wizards" and "Magician's Birthday" were pretty
good, weren't they Roger Dean (I'd have to check). Heep got away
from these covers for awhile, but I think "Firefly" was the only
other artwork cover of theirs.

Hello,
If I remember well, the author of the album covers of Heep's
"Demons and Wizards" and "Magician's Birthday" is Roger Dean as you writed.
And something much more interesting about "Demons and Wizards":
it has taken to me much time before looking attentively to the LP's cover,
when I discovered that it is highly erotical. Just look to the shape of the
rock and the source of the falling water. I think not too much people has
observed this aspect (the CD version is too small to observe it well).
Many years have passed since this disc was out but I never found a comment
about the album cover. Have you observed it ?
Best regards,
Sorin

Re last couple;
It was indeed Roger Dean who did the art for Uriah Heep as well
as most of the Yes albums, Budgie and Osybisa(sp?) just to name a
few. He has done many album cover art for bands. He did the cover
for the Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe album and also designed
their stage setup and lighting. Quite a talented guy.

best of the Derek Riggs artwork.
My favourites though are the gate folds for ZZ Top`s Tres Hombres,and
Kiss - Alive II. Also,Hawkwind - King of the Mountain Grill and
Space Ritual.

Uh.... would that be the one with a witch standing by a pond with an
old house in the background? If so, that's a photograph right? Not a
painting. (not that photographs can't be artsy, but I was wondering if
there was some other cover to that album originally.)

Like a lot of things I'll have to come back to this one some time
but while it was on my mind I also Like Boston's first one but
am a bit bias about their second album since a close friend
did the design (air brush was done by someone else). The design
was completed in a rush as most things are only for the album then
to be delayed in what seemed liked years. It was!
RE: .22> Zep has a few good ones also. I like Zep IV's cover and Zep I cover
is a famous photograph (or painting I forget).
The photo you might be thinking of is related to Led Zeppelin II. The
original early 1920's or so photo was of German pilots, the cover was
touched up to include band, road crew and road manager. Also the
woman was some sort of spoof on Glyn Johns, producer/engineer,
I forget her name but something like Glyna Johns.
As for I it included a photo by Chris Dreja (Yardbirds).
The untitled 4th album cover has an even further long drawn out story.
Hipgnosis is widely known for later art work as well as with Floyd, etc.
The other famous picture, somewhat related to this topic, was for the
Swan Song logo which was drawn upon by the painting entitled "Fall of
Day" and is displayed in Boston's Museum of Science.

and eddie sitting with a m-16 right in front of it.
Flight of Icarus = Has icarus' wings being melted by a flying,
blowtorch carryin' eddie.
Can I play with madness = Has something or other happenin' to eddie's

| Uriah Heep - Demons and Wizards (album cover by Roger Dean)
This 1972 album cover (there were posters also) contains very suggestive
images well disguised over all these years. Just look at the pointed rock and
the source of the water which falls over the rock.
This doesn't take anything of the beauty of this album cover.

I think Rocky Mountain Way was on an earlier Walsh album, possibly
"The Smoker You Drink The Player You Get." The one with the
swimming pool scene is the one with "Life's Been Good" but I
can't remember the facking name of that album!
