When I was like 13 or 14 I was at a used record store and I came across that Molly Hatchet record with the Frazetta “Death Dealer” cover. Judging from the cover this had to be the most amazing album ever made.I imagined that this rock group Molly Hatchet must have recorded this album in a medieval dungeon, dressed in chainmail that was caked in dragon blood. I was expecting to hear songs about slaughtering goblins and dodging wizard lasers. I spent my meager allowance on this record and ran home. I couldn’t wait to hear it.

Unfortunately, what I got when I finally played the record was a diaper-load of confederate ass rock. I checked to see if maybe the wrong record was put inside the album sleeve. I couldn’t figure out how this awesome record cover could have such a hunk of southern-fried shit inside. They should have had a drawing of General Lee with a guitar sticking out of his ass on the cover. That would have been more appropriate. Well, it’s a great cover anyway. It might be the most famous record cover image on the shittiest album in history. I hope Frazetta got a nice fat check from Molly Hatchet, Inc. He deserved it. RIP.
