The Hives: Tyrannosaurus Hives
The Hive’s previous covers were all very forgettable, bland affairs. In fact they are so bad I’ll post the below.
While not actually deviating that much from their previous covers, Tyrannosaurus Hives look timeless. While the previous endeavours look terribly dated.
This cover however makes you stand up and take notice. It doesn’t say anything about the type of music they play its all attitude. And that attitude is we’re gonna kick your ass… in style.
The middle guy has a sort of Malcolm McDowell from Clockwork Orange look about him. In fact the illustration itself feels like these five “droogs” are going to beat down on me. Except the fat guy to the right, he’s probably get puffed trying to catch me as I ran away.
This cover reminds me of House Industries and their amazing oil paintings.
However this cover was illustrated by Swedish painter Mikael P. Eriksson who has no profile online to speak of.
