i don't get it, don't you want people to be able to know what the band is called?

I guess that's why ours looks like this...

yeah why do singers sing the words so I can't understand 'em? What you got marbles in yo mouf?

what's with distorted guitars...you could hear the parts much better if it was all played clean or acoustic

in my day musicians didn't sing about this booty or that booty. They had respect and the music had good values.

back in my day, people had respect and values enough to know that all music is the devil (except psalms)

What we need now is another Hoobly Davis or Maury Paulstein. Those guys had voices that would make angels weep. Not like this Taking Back Saturday or Karrots or whatever they are called

Why would someone name their band after a SUICIDE doctor?! Don't they respect human life?!

i sometimes wonder the same thing about band logos. some bands like Darkthrone or Cradle of Filth have logos that are a little hard to read at first, if you never heard of the band before, but a Darkthrone record with the logo printed in plain ariel font wouldn't look right. but some bands take it way too far, and i'm referring mostly to bands in the gore-grind genre. their logos are like a completely indecipherable puddle of liquid feces, i'm sometimes not even sure if all the letters are in there!
some black metal bands are really bad too, the logos are a giant mass of scribbles with upside down crosses and pentagrams and goat faces strewn all over, and it's supposed to say something like "Anally Molested Christ" or something blasphemous like that.

band logos are for heathens and blasphemers!

psalms are about devils.
like it or not, but they are old school. remember, they are the origins of kvlt and with out them there is no necro.
unless of course you are egyptian and then what are you going to do, sick a mummy on me? go ahead, pussy.

The best band logo ever was '70's hair rockers "Angel"...you could read it the same upside down or right side up! As far as the black/death style logos, originally, I think the bands were looking at them more as "symbols" and weren't really too concerned about legibility. I'm all for that..it's art...symbols are more powerful than words. But now it's just silly because it's a bandwagon-esque necessity to have a logo that brands you like a fuckin' cattle...you BELONG to the scene if you carry the brand.

it's very true...I didn't expect to get caught on that.

King David was all about singing to god about crushing his enemies in gruesome ways.

a lot of bands do that on purpose. many/most gore-grind are pretty tongue in cheek anyway, and they know their music sounds like a wall of static, so they take everything else over the top as well.
