Cool black metal logos

Here's a brief interview with this Belgian guy who designs bitchen logos for black metal bands. On the interview page, click the image to check out a slide show of logos. Badass calligraphy in the service of the Dark Lord.

For Steve....

And we wonder where Yngwie gets it......

Dedicated to Steve B.

Straight out of Metalocalypse. Most useless guitar lesson ever. These dudes rule.

South Park joke, but a good one.

This makes me happy.

There needs to be a term for this kind of Retarded Genius. Suggestions?

Butterflies, as it turns out, are cool.

The little girl in this cracks me up

Black Metal goofballs for Steve

I like big husky cross-face in his black metal sweat pants.

If you don't know, it's better that way....

Metal puppy

The clip is set to loud death metal, so be prepared. In case you're curious, I believe the band is Vital Remains. Not positive though...

METAL MIDGET

Another reason to love metal

Words fail...

Photos from Iron Maiden's "Live After Death 2" tour

I don't know if they've released info on US tour dates yet. You may officially call me "asshole" if I don't make it to one of these shows. Hopefully Bruce Dickinson won't crash the plane before they make it to CA. I hear that since they foisted their entire new album on audiences each night on the last tour, they're going to stay strictly 80's on this one. Thank gawd. Photos

This is one reason I like heavy metal

Somebody looked at this album cover and said, "that's fucken awesome," without any irony.

As for Gamma Ray, they suck. An anagram of Gamma Ray is "ramma gay." Inspired by this, I went to wordsmith.org/anagram where I entered "Gamma Ray Land of the Free," which yielded such gems as "Horny Marmalade Fag Fete," and "a gay farmhand left me roe." Try it yourself.

Never heard the band, but loooove the album cover...

Voivod - Ravenous Medicine

Voivod is one of my all time favorite bands and this is one of my favorite Voivod songs. I'd no idea there was a music video for it. You have to love the low budget production values on this one. It also features many drawings by the band's drummer, "Away," who has carved a unique, easily recognized style of illustration in the world of Metal.

Great album cover, not so great band, hilarious lyrics

This is the album cover Coven's first album, "Blessed is the Black." Troy Pugsley bought it for the cover alone, but we were amused by the songs. A sample of lyrics from the song, "McDonaldland Massacre:"

Ronald is lying on the floor,
The Grimace took a bullet trying to run out the door.
Hamburglar's brains all over Mayor McCheese,
He won't let you go, even if you say please.

Quarter Pounder, Big Mac, Fillet 'O Fish and fries,
it doesn't matter what you order, everybody dies.

Cool, huh? This is the only band I've ever heard who have done an explicitly Satanic power ballad.
