Artist Martin Handford who has worked with Games Workshop and various other gaming companies will be doing the cover art for the upcoming Blacksmith 'Strike While the Iron's Hot' release from Heaven and Hell Records due out in June of 2011.
Hanfords Dungeon & Dragons inspired work can be seen on albums from bands Bal Sagoth. Isen Torr, Ironsword and Twisted Tower Dire among others.

The release titled Strike While the Irons Hot will contain both the Blacksmith self titled EP from 86, as well as the full length Fire from Within from 1989, and rare demos of previous unreleased songs.
