SW had a different logo on each cover, very likely no official logo, very likely it was never even that important....

I do like the logo on it.........it's very in the character of the old school heavy/power metal that SW played..


Again, though, the artwork, "huh?" .. I don't hate it although I think the lack of color seems like an easy way out of making it better... Mostly I just have no idea what it's supposed to be or how it relates to the spirit of the record.

That's better looking than what I was told almost was the cover which was something akin to The LA Guns American Hardcore CD cover......

Oh well, My favorite SW album is being reissued and I finally get a chance to get it on CD. The logo rules, and the art is better than the original.

The music is what matters

No matter what they do....keep it the same as the old or make it new ?

Some folks will be cool with it and others, well not.

I am happy this is happening.

Laterz !

I kinda like the new Sacred Warrior cover.

It looks like the guy on the cover stole Pinhead's clothes and Liberace's feathers.

It will be available at Hot Topic. Kids will rave and say it sounds like White Wizzard.

To be honest, I never really liked the album art on the original SW Rebellion.

Having a new artwork is okay as far as the original is on the flip side.

However, when it comes to 80s re-issues contemporary photoshoped collages don't cut it for me. The art needs to be hand drawn to represent the spirit of the era past. My two cents on this.

That SW art is uninspired....terrible.

You know,I never heard any of those bands (except Vengeance Rising and couldn't stand the vocals) but I would like to check them out. From the sounds of things,I'd probably like the other bands getting the re-release.

That does seem like a pretty drastic design change, going from this...



...to that goth angel up there. At least the VR remastered covers retained the idea/feel of the originals. Granted, that original SW ain't the greatest, but if you're gonna change it up, at least try to incorporate the old image somehow.

That new one does indeed have a "Hot Topic" feel to it. Kids blindly buying that cd (the small percentage that still does anyway) might be a little disappointed that the music doesn't exactly match the image, if that makes sense.

I could see taking that live shot, maybe adding a little art around it or something else (make it not seem like a live album), and adding the new logo and it would look great.

Wait. OCI the Hot Topic kids would compare it to White Wizzard. Really? How did they hear White Wizzard? I'm all befuddled.

While I like the proposed Sacred Warrior artwork, I must admit that the character on the cover bears a striking resemblance to an in-costume Nergal.
