I own the Axess 45. Pretty decent HR/HM.
Thanks for the info Khnud. I was able to find the B-side 'You're In Trouble' on youtube, it sounded pretty solid & gritty if not exactly groundbreaking, though they do get a bonus point for changing key part-way through the guitar solo.
Wonder how the band came to record in the UK? I can see how the prospect of a recording session at Abbey Road or maybe even Impulse Studio might make such a journey appealing, but i can't say as i've ever heard of Hillside Studios in Ipswich. A quick look on discogs doesn't reveal much of a Metal pedigree, though Chaser did apparently record some stuff there which appeared on the 'Raiders' anthology.

M-A sez: The band consisted of US Air Force personnel who were stationed in the UK at the time the band was active.
Aha, cheers Ernest, that would explain it. There was a similar story attached to one of the many bands called Sabre, who i believe they were US soldiers billited in Germany.

I always thought of Zjevení cover to be a riff on King Diamond's Conspiracy, with the frame and all...
Here's a very obvious one in the thermonuclear warrior fashion:

I love the cover of that Dracula & Co LP, i'd definitely have bought that just on the strength of the image. As sub-genres go, it doesn't get more niche than Horror Disco.
If anyone thinks Horror Disco wasn't a real thing i'd encourage them to listen to this mix: https://www.grumpire.com/mixtape-disco-dracula/
I take it you also own these Japanese & US editions of the LP DaN, with alternate (but also rather good) cover art (& sometimes different band names & LP titles)?

Good call! Yeah, Conspiracy & Zjevení are certainly related, but I just love how the Czech Black Metal LP and the Disco-Horrorploitation overlapped with even more details, like the bloody text and the confused expression of the protagonist. A good excuse for including some off-topic stuff I think

I used to collect horror-themed albums sleeves, so that's how that Hot Blood one came into my possession. We might see more of them in the future
Seems the one you posted is an alternate sleeve of mine, but wouldn't mind adding it to the collection if I ever come across it.
This Twin-theme turned out to be a tricky one but I think I found at least one more perfect example:

Would love to see some more of your horror themed sleeves appear, there are so many great examples of that phenomenon out there.
That Full Moon sleeve is very cool (& a great 'twin' to Jag Panzer), the art's execulted perfectly. If only the music was 15-20% better/harder.
This Southern Rocker is along similar lines to the last pair (though not an exact twin):
