KILLERS

Why? Because it's really hard to imagine something called "Killers" without that look! Observe that the metal-comp version are not a replica. It's just, what I presume, inspired.



"Metal Killers" was released in the UK 1984, three years after Iron Maidens second album. The artwork is astonishing. Not only does the warrior have all the right proportions, so does the guitar as well. Nothing looks weird here. But what takes the cake to the prom is the "a" in "metal". Obviously someone in the design room forgot to cut out some white. Pretty dumb mistake.

Viking barbarians are always the coolest. Close planets, lightning and dinosaurs does not(!) overshadow that fact.
