Heavenly Metal (1987)



I'm pretty sure I bought this one from a Summer Pentecostal Conference back in the middle-90's. Or was it some Youth Happening? It probably was. Who knows...

Anyway, I just loved the design. The graphic sports a very strong 80's vibe (my favorite decade).

As a metalhead and born-again Christian, this was just the thing for me. If I remember correctly (this time), the price was somewhere along 170 mk (Finnish Marks). It was a bit high for my taste at the time, but the money went for the Missionary and that's a good cause. So I bought it.

The back-print is very clever. It states the basic idea of Christianity in black letters. Titles of famous heavy metal and rock-songs have been thrown in with a red lettering. Too cool, baby!

Enlarge the pics by clicking them. Comments are very welcome. :)
