Metal Reviews

I've posted this before on-line on messageboards and every "metal" site I could think of. No one has been able to figure this out yet.

I am looking for a CD by a band that I cannot for the life of me recall. I can describe the cover of the CD for you, though. The cover featured a cyborg-(think Robocop)-like person—arms outstretched—holding a flame in one hand and a baby in the other.

I've posted this before on-line, no one has figured it out yet. It's not The Almighty, Maiden, Powermad, Probot, Manowar, rtc. It's not a bootleg. All I can remember of the CD is that I saw an ad for it in a metal magazine and thought the picture was cool. More than likely it would have been Rip magazine (R.I.P.), Metal Edge, or Hit Parader. I don't think I read much more than that back then, unless it was some obscure magazine, but I doubt it.

I used to draw a lot and drew the picture myself and then I ordered the CD and it has since disappeared from my collection, which is over 4,000 just for CDs alone, then there's thousands more of demo tapes, vinyl, and even a few 8-tracks. My collection is huge and I can't remember the exact style of the band except that it was a metal CD, traditional metal.

Anyone have any idea who this band was? I will pick up 5 metal CDs (my choice) for anyone who can help me!!

can't you post that raw drawing for us to have a better idea of how that damn artwork looks like ?...

we'd be glad to help !



PS : I'm still looking at someone who has Wildhorses album including the Criminal Tendencies song (the band includes ex-Thin Lizzy/Motorhead Brian Robertson and it's very good AOR), thanks in advance

I've looked high and low for that drawing and I don't have it anymore. I have a ton of things I drew from the early 80's on, but that is not one of them.

And yeah, NOT Maiden. That's too easy and if I needed help with that I'd be ashamed! Hehehe.

what year did this cd come out? can you remember any track names or the band's label?

Nope. Nothing. I can remember the cover. At one time I thought the word "almighty" was in the album name, or band name.

The only album i know that has "almighty" in it's name is the one from Heimdall.I don't know how the cover looks like though, but i doubt you will be looking for a second-rate power metal cd.

That's the one.Thanks WiC.
It doesn't fit the description however.

Yeah, someone suggested that one before.

You know, I've never found this CD, or anyone who knew what it was. =(

First off, you have me very intrigued, so if you ever do find this CD, please make a special effort to let me know.

Anyway, I have two suggestions, but I'm fairly certain that neither is what you're looking for. Still, might as well get them eliminated... 8)

Highland Glory - From the cradle to the brave
Madog - Fairytales of darkness

Clint

NP: Luca Turilli - 2nd CD

No, those are way too recent. This album was an early 90s album (I think, no later, though). OK, here's my 2-second Photoshop version of the album cover:



HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Metallica - Master of Puppets


What's my prize?

Haha!

But your case sounds totally interesting! :mrgreen: ...I would have so liked to be able to help you, but that just didn't ring any bells :(
Please tell if you ever find out! ;)

I have asked everywhere! I've e-mail the dudes that run No Life Til Metal and BNR Metal, no dice. I asked Den at Sentinel Steel, nothing. I've asked on a million messageboards and the most I've gotten was, "Fuck...I know I know what this is!" or something like that. It really sucks. :(

:x

Now I want this cd!

the one that got away, eh?

So, what was so special about it?

Nothing. I don't even think I owned it. It's just a CD cover I once drew. One day I went looking for the picture I drew, couldn't find it. I usually saved things like that. Then I tried to remember the CD or band name and couldn't...ever since then it's been driving me insane! Hahaha.
