Ken Kelly, I file him under “artists who make a record sound louder before the needle even drops.” In the mid-to-late 1970s, his dramatic, high-contrast fantasy style landed on major sleeves for Rainbow (the Rising / Long Live Rock 'n' Roll era) and KISS (including the Destroyer and Love Gun period), and in the 1980s he went full heroic myth-making again with Manowar releases like Fighting the World and Kings of Metal. His iconic cover paintings for bands like KISS, Manowar, and Rainbow are basically visual volume knobs—turn them and everything gets bigger. |
