As far as the godawful album covers from this era of metal go it's far from the worst offender. At least they tried to go kind of an iconic/minimalistic route with it instead of something as atrocious as that Samson cover you posted earlier.
The rockabilly sound is there, but whether its there by design or by accident is the big question.

You`re actually the first person to comment on that Samson cover, its a classic
