C’mon, guys
This is an “I’m taking a break from studying for exams to blog” post. Due to said exams I’ve been listening to a lot of music, even more than usual, because I cannot study in silence. A lot of this music has been, as you may guess if you’ve read my blog for a while, metal. I’ve noticed an interesting trend.
Almost every single metal band’s logo seems to be an attempted ambigram, with the last letter if not the whole name. Allow me to provide examples.
I could keep going, but I have calculus to study for. I just wish that bands could be as creative with their logos as with their music. I mean, they look badass and all, but it’s still a little bit cliche.

I agree. When I was a kid the thing bands used to do was to try and sneak X-rated album covers past censors until someone eventually complained and they had to be pulled. The ones that got out became collectors items. I’ve got an original GNR Appetite for Destruction album cover.
The good old days. I found an article about that a while back, the GNR one rated just above a Cannibal Corpse one that showed two zombies having sex. So metal.
