I mean, wasn't an ELO drummer part of Black Sabbath for a few years?

Yeah, touring drummer with the Black Purple Born Again line-up.

Italo disco/rock cheesefest

The main man of this project was guitarist Claudio Causin...some years before he was involved with the hard/prog band
Forzanove (from Venezia/Venice) ,they released a rare album entitled Autoanalisi in 1981 before quitting...

70's soul/funk, definitely NOT metal:

I have this lp. Heavily sampled by breakbeat guys.

I was actually coming to post this because I had been reading about it. The "It's a New Day" track alone has been sampled almost 500 times, including big hits like "Clubbed To Death" (mostly known from The Matrix soundtrack) and The Prodigy's "Poison". I wonder how much (if any) of that money those guys get.

This is pretty eclectic, cool cover though.

Yes, Great cover artwork. If I'm not mistaken this was used too for an Iron Maiden bootleg cd.

haha that comp's an Aussie release from the 70's - my mate had it.... sidenote: apart from AC/DC it also featured 'Flash & The Pan' , the post-Easybeats band of their producers Harry Vanda & Gerorge Young....

....IIRC there was actually quite a few mainstream/Top 40 comps with "Metal" looking covers released down here in the 70's & 80's....

Who is the author of the ilustration and what is it called? Do you know?

[Cochino]

From a quick google search, I found the author is Bruce Pennington. Apparently, it was originally done for the cover of a Frank Herbert (author of "Dune#) book called "The Green Brain", and then reused several times for other stuff.

I used to have Herbert's book when I was a kid. Thanks !!!

Off topic, but I really recommend "The Jesus Incident" by Frank Herbert if you're into sci-fi. It served as inspiration both for the movie Avatar but also the old computer games Marathon and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.

Damn, that looks like Sepultura
