Ken Kelly was the painter of those covers, and by the way, the one who did the mitic Rainbow's "Rising" art!. Fine works.
I've upload his bio in my webpage some time ago...

Always thought this took the piss, even if he was in the band once...

Very unique sound, Speed / Thrash with hardcore influences and some mixed vocals including growling in some parts, they used to play punk / hardcore in the early 80's and released one demo & some songs on different compilations before changing into metal.

Metallica was actually at the release party for the album.
About 1 year later they released ...And Justice for All with a really look-a-like cover.

Here is a track from the "Hammerhead" album:

Sounds good, like a mix between AGENT STEEL, HOLY TERROR!

Hard to believe that no one told them about it before the release
