Princess

Seattle metal outfit Princess’ music is that of brutal, carnivorous, auditory assault. They already sound like the after-party in hell or the house band from Carrie’s prom, so how about the next record cover be a mangled tiara and some ladylike white gloves spattered in such a way as not to reveal if Her Highness was the victim of the crime or the perpetrator? Or how’s about a pile of severed and mutilated My Little Pony heads? Or their glorious logo tagged on some ancient wall paper in smeary, drippy, red glitter letters (poured nail polish perhaps?) for that Shining effect? Or something so altogether sweet and unicorny it’ll fool little tweens into buying the record and unsuspectingly having their faces shred off? With Argonaut. MA’CHELL DUMA LAVASSAR
