Derek Riggs and Vince Locke -best of the beasts
We all have our favourite album artwork that mean something to us, or reflect what the album stands for, or is just that damn awesome we had to buy the album. Here’s two artists who had an impact on metal album artwork.
- Cannibal Corpse and Vince Locke. No-one can deny that Locke’s artwork had a contribution towards Cannibal Corpses success. The gruesome artwork has basically helped ‘the corpse’ stand out from the legions of other death metal bands over the years and has even been banned in some countries -causing alternate covers to be created. The covers seem to mix perfectly with the music -your under no illusion that your getting something else with that artwork. He has toned it down for latest album ‘Evisceration plague’, but his artwork wasnt even shown on the cover of previous album ‘Kill’, which promoted outrage from Cannibal fans.
- Derek riggs: Number of the beast. Number of the beast is the album that pushed Maiden onto a whole new level. It was also the first to feature new vocalist Bruce Dickinson. You know that artwork had an impact of the sales: Eddie being controlled by the devil, who in turn, is being controlled by Eddie. Just who is manipulating who in that artwork? The artwork was supposed to be for the Run to the hills single, but Maiden manager Rod Smallwood thought it was too good just to be a single. Riggs has done many a memorable piece of artwork for maiden featuring their zombie mascot ‘Eddie’, labotomising him, making him an interglatic bounty hunter and having him kill then prime minister Maggie Thatcher. Although he hasnt done any studio album artwork since ‘no prayer for the dying, surely were due a new one soon. Please?
