Hey kids,
So I’m a dick. I’m out of goodies from Roadrunner to send you guys and girls. I was supposed to swing by their office last week to see some friends and pick up some shit, and I didn’t. The contest will resume next week after we get more prizes. Sorry.

Congratulations to MetalSucks Maniacs Nick Hochmuth and Alexander Holmes. They correctly identified last week’s logo as belonging to the band Crimson Massacre, and each win a copy of Black Stone Cherry’s Folklore and Superstition for their trouble. Rock out with your cocks out, bruthas!
Don’t cry if you didn’t win – I still have one more copy of the CD to give away, courtesy the cool cats at Roadrunner Records. All you have to do to win is identify the name of the band whose logo appears below, then shoot me an e-mail with your answer, your name and address at axl AT metalsucks DOT net. We’ll randomly select a winner from everyone who gets it right, and announce his or her name next week.
This week’s logo was suggested by Ryan Benjamin. Thank you, Ryan Benjamin!

You fail me again.
No one correctly identified last week’s logo, which belongs to the charmingly monikered band Female Nose Breaker (How would you guys feel about a band called Male Nut Buster? Recockulous.). Mercifully, none of you guessed Slipknot, Korn, or Atreyu, either, so I guess we’re making progress.
Still, I’ve got these two copies of Black Stone Cherry’s Folklore and Superstition to give away, courtesy the very nice people at Roadrunner, and I’d love if a couple of you would please take them off my hands. All you have to do to win is identify the name of the band whose logo appears below, then shoot me an e-mail with your answer, your name and address at axl AT metalsucks DOT net. We’ll randomly select two winners from everyone who gets it right, and announce his or her names next week.
This week’s logo was suggested by the reader known as “bear wizard.” Thank you, almighty hybrid of powerful things.

Horns up to Eric Crescimano and MS Maniac TrapThem, who both correctly identified last week’s logo as belonging to the band Blasphetized. They each win a copy of Black Stone Cherry’s Folklore and Superstition. Enjoy those, dudes!
Don’t get in a tizzy if you didn’t win this week; the fine folks at Roadrunner Records have bestowed upon two (2) more copies to give away this week!
All you have to do to win is identify the name of the band whose logo appears below, then shoot me an e-mail with your answer, your name and address at axl AT metalsucks DOT net. We’ll randomly select two winners from everyone who gets it right, and announce his or her names next week.
This week’s logo was suggested by reader Joshua Jacobs. Thanks, brutha!

The answer to the last logo was Necros Christos. That’s not exactly the most original name for a metal band with an unreadable logo, but the name of our winner is pretty unique: Samial Chamberlain. I’ve never known anyone named Samial, but I think it’s a pretty cool name. And now Samial has won a copy of Coal Chamber’s self-titled album. So there’s that.
This week the good folks at Roadrunner have bestowed two (2) copies of Black Stone Cherry’s Folklore and Superstition to give away.

Thanks to Tim McElroy for supplying this week’s logo…

So the answer to the last logo was, of course, Slipknot. Some of you tried to be clever and make sarcastic comments and pretend it was another band. None of those people won, because I don’t like smart asses. One of you also criticized me for choosing a logo that was too easy; that person is obviously a) incapable of reading, and b) a total waste of sperm and egg.
ANYWAY, the winners of the CKY Carver City CDs are Arianna Askew and Jim Dahlin. I have a hard time believing that those are these readers’ real names, but whatever, not my problem.
This week I have one copy of Coal Chamber’s self-titled debut to give away, courtesy the too-kind folks at Roadrunner. In case for some reason you don’t know, Coal Chamber was Dez Fafara’s band before he started DevilDriver. Dude likes his alliterations I guess.
All you have to do to win is identify the name of the band whose logo appears below, then shoot me an e-mail with your answer, your name and address at axl AT metalsucks DOT net. We’ll randomly select a winner from everyone who gets it right, and announce his or her name next week.
Back to the real shit this time, courtesy of MS Maniac Kirsten Hogenson. Thanks, Kirsten!

Last week’s logo was for a band called Mortuorium. But once again, NONE OF YOU GOT IT RIGHT and MANY OF YOU SUGGESTED IT BELONGS TO SLIPKNOT. Jesus holy hell people. Why do you want me to be sad? Does it please you?
So now I still have two copies of CKY’s Carver City that are just sitting here, sad that they haven’t found a home. All you have to do to win is identify the name of the band whose logo appears below, then shoot me an e-mail with your answer, your name and address at axl AT metalsucks DOT net. We’ll randomly select two winners from everyone who gets it right, and announce his or her names next week.
I give up. Y’all win. This is clearly what you wanted, so I’m giving it to you. If you guys can’t get this, I’m quitting metal forever.
-AR
First of all, I want to thank everyone who responded to my request last week to send me unreadable band logos to be used for future contests. No joke, I really appreciate everyone’s help in allowing me to continue to be a lazy prick.
Now, down to business: last week’s logo, for the band Killgasm, was super easy, so little wonder that everyone got it. And only one dipshit guessed Slipknot! Amazing.
But there can only be two winners, and those winners are John Pewo and Elizabeth Colbert. Congrats, kids.
Don’t cry if you didn’t win last week. I still have two more copies of CKY’s latest, Carver City, to give away (thanks, Roadrunner!), and then I’m spent. All you have to do to win is identify the name of the band whose logo appears below, then shoot me an e-mail with your answer, your name and address at axl AT metalsucks DOT net. We’ll randomly select two winners from everyone who gets it right, and announce his or her names next week.
This week’s logo was sent to me by Samuel Hall. Thanks, Sam!
-AR
Okay, and we’re back!
First up, hats off to Julia Greenberg and Marty Coffou; they each correctly identified the last logo as belonging to the band Rammish Succus. Good work, kids!
I’ve got two more copies of the album to give away this week, courtesy the folks at Roadrunner Records. All you have to do to win is identify the name of the band whose logo appears below, then shoot me an e-mail with your answer, your name and address at axl AT metalsucks DOT net. We’ll randomly select two winners from everyone who gets it right, and announce his or her names next week.
This week’s logo was suggested by reader Paul Pelkonen. Relatively speaking, it’s fairly readable, so I expect you people to nail it.
And Keep sending me logos, guys. Finding shit for these contests is a pain in my bum.
-AR
Sorry for the delay to all of you who were looking forward it… it shall be back soon!
-AR
Pussies. That’s all I have to say to you all: you’re all fucking pussies.
Not a single person correctly identified last week’s logo, which, in case you’re curious, belongs to the band Hipermenorrea. Of course, someone did manage to guess it was Slipknot and some other moron decided it belonged to cKy themselves. But no one got Hipermenorrea.
So, let’s try this again. We’ve got two (2) copies of cKy’s latest, Carver City, courtesy the very nice people at Roadrunner Records, who are equally disappointed that you’re all pussies.
All you have to do to win is identify the name of the band whose logo appears below, then shoot me an e-mail with your answer, your name and address at axl AT metalsucks DOT net. We’ll randomly select two winners from everyone who gets it right, and announce his or her names next week.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LOGO DOES NOT BELONG TO A BAND THAT IS CURRENTLY OR HAS BEEN IN THE PAST SIGNED TO ROADRUNNER RECORDS. You schmucks are gonna give me a freakin’ coronary if you don’t cut that shit out.
This week’s logo was suggested by Mark Moritz-Rabson. He, too, hopes you people aren’t too pussy to get it this week.
-AR
Horns up for the improbably named Jess Buttkus and Scott Deaner. They each correctly identified last week’s logo as belonging to the band Explosive Diarrhea, and for their troubles, they each win a special Roadrunner Records Top Shelf 2 Disc Edition of Type O Negative’s classic 1993 album, Bloody Kisses. Just remember, Deaner and Buttkus: you can’t go out if your boobs roots are showing.
This week the too too kind ladies and gents at Roadrunner Records have donated two (2) copies of cKy’s new album, Carver City, for us to give away. Alternative Press gave this album 4 outta 5 stars, and All Music called it “smart and unique,” praising its “seriously heavy riffs.” In other words, you need to check this baby out!
All you have to do to win is identify the name of the band whose logo appears below, then shoot me an e-mail with your answer, your name and address at axl AT metalsucks DOT net. We’ll randomly select two winners from everyone who gets it right, and announce his or her names next week.
This week’s logo comes to us from Dublin reader Craig Duff. Normally I’d make some lame Irish joke here, but since Craig basically did my job for me, I’ll just wish you all good luck.
-AR
Sorry there was no logo last week, kiddies. I was sick. Suck it.
ANYWAY, the logo from two weeks ago belonged to a band called Dead Raven Choir, and for correctly identifying said logo, Brent Hacker, Jake Haber and Rodney Wilder all win copies of special Roadrunner Records Top Shelf 2 Disc Edition of Type O Negative’s classic 1993 album, Bloody Kisses. Congrats, dudes.
Don’t go slitting your wrists if ya didn’t win one this time; the metallic maniacs at Roadrunner have bestowed upon us two (2) more copies to give away this week.
This version of Bloody Kisses comes with a second disc of bonus tracks, PLUS an awesome booklet that includes a really, really, really detailed interview about the album, conducted by Decibel’s always awesome J. Bennett. Here’s an excerpt:
Who’s the girl moaning on “Machine Screw?”
KEYBOARDIST JOSH SILVER: That was an ex-girlfriend. But I didn’t actually screw her; she screwed me. And I mean that in every sense of the word… Type O has obviously spent a lot of time, regardless of what album it is, mourning relationships. Obviously Peter has had some troubled ones. “Nothing but love songs” – that’s been our slogan forever. They’re all love songs.
In conclusion: if you already know and love this album, this version will give you way more insight into its creation; and if you don’t know and love it, here’s your chance to own something awesome.
All you have to do to win is identify the name of the band whose logo appears below, then shoot me an e-mail with your answer, your name and address at axl AT metalsucks DOT net. We’ll randomly select two winners from everyone who gets it right, and announce his or her names next week.
This week’s logo comes to us from the reader known simply as “Max.” And the answer is, um, prettygross. Good luck.

Horns up for Kaitlyn Kerrane and Tristan Williams, both of whom correctly identified last week’s logo as belonging to the band Gastrorrexis. They each win a copy of Nightwish’s Made in Hong Kong (And in Various Other Places). Enjoy it, friends!
Also, fuck Colin F. He guessed that the band was Slipknot. I’m like 98.5% sure he was just kidding, but, still, it wasn’t funny and fuck him in the ear.
ANYWAY, this week’s logo was suggested to us (once again) by Attila Korsós. It’s a fucking doozy, but the prize is totally worth it: a special Roadrunner Records Top Shelf 2 Disc Edition of Type O Negative’s classic 1993 album, Bloody Kisses. In addition to the album itself – which fucking kicks so much fucking ass and Vince and I blasted I think about a gajillion times back when it came out – this version comes with a second disc of bonus tracks, PLUS an awesome booklet that includes a really, really, really detailed interview about the album, conducted by Decibel’s always awesome J. Bennett. Here’s an excerpt:

All you have to do to win is identify the name of the band whose logo appears below, then shoot me an e-mail with your answer, your name and address at axl AT metalsucks DOT net. We’ll randomly select three winners from everyone who gets it right, and announce his or her names next week.
Good luck, and remember: the answer still isn’t Slipknot.

Last week’s logo was way too easy – everyone save for one or two people whom I’m guessing are mentally retarded (THE ANSWER IS NEVER FUCKING SLIPKNOT PEOPLE. IT HAS NEVER BEEN SLIPKNOT AND IT WILL NEVER BE SLIPKNOT.) correctly identified last week’s logo as belonging to the band Alice Through the Windshield Glass. The luck of the draw says that congratulations are in order for David MacDonald, Jose Martinez, and Dan Saraceno, all of whom win a copy of Nightwish’s Made in Hong Kong (And in Various Other Places).
But don’t go slitting your wrists if you didn’t win a copy – Roadrunner has supplied us with two (2) more copies to give away this week. This two-disc set includes live performances recorded around the world, PLUS b-sides and demos, PLUS a DVD with music videos and a documentary chronicling the Dark Passion Play World Tour that took place from ‘07 – ‘08. This sweet package is a must own for all you Nightwish fans, so get crackin’!

This week’s logo was suggested to us by read Shawn Zeilenga. It’s a mite harder than last week’s…

Congrats to Brent Hacker and Jame Hajec. They correctly identified last week’s logo as belonging to the band Wolfmangler, and consequently, they each win a copy of ultra-special super duper yowza edition of Machine Head’s 2007 instant classic, The Blackening. Lucky fuckers.
This week the fine ladies and gents at Roadrunner Records have donated three (3) copies of Nightwish’s Made in Hong Kong (And in Various Other Places) for us to give away.

So a lot of you guessed that the answer to last week’s logo was Hist. And while I can see why you might think that, the correct answer was actually HØST. No, I don’t know why some cultures put a line through their letter “o”s, and being a right proper patriot (read: xenophobe), I don’t especially care. But congrats to MetalSucks Maniacs Amber Duchateau, Travis Dvoracek, and Ryan Liedel, all of whom answered correctly, and all of whom now get ultra-special super duper yowza edition of Machine Head’s 2007 instant classic, The Blackening (pictured left).
But don’t cut your wrists if you didn’t win: the righteous dudes and dudettes at Roadrunner have provided us with two (2) more of these babies to give away this week. In addition to the album, you get two bonus tracks – a cover of Maiden’s “Hallowed By Thy Name” and a cover of Metallica’s “Battery” – PLUS a DVD with live performances, music videos, “making of” specials on those music videos, and, the piece de resistance, a “making of” documentary about the creation of The Blackening itself. So clearly, if you’re a fan of Machine Head or just good fucking metal in general, you need to own this.

Thanks to longtime MetalSucks Maniac Attila Korsós for suggesting this week’s logo… it’s so fucking difficult it’s retarded, so I’ll be very impressed with those of you who get it right:

Wow. We haven’t done one of these since March. My sincerest apologies… shit happens, y’know? But since I sent out the prizes to the winner of that contest ages ago and have no fucking recollection whatsoever of the name of the band for that contest, let’s just start fresh, m’kay?
Alrighty. So. For our first week back, the fine folks at Roadrunner Records have provided us with some copies of the ultra-special super duper yowza edition of Machine Head’s 2007 instant classic, The Blackening. In addition to the album, you get two bonus tracks – a cover of Maiden’s “Hallowed By Thy Name” and a cover of Metallica’s “Battery” – PLUS a DVD with live performances, music videos, “making of” specials on those music videos, and, the piece de resistance, a “making of” documentary about the creation of The Blackening itself.

Props go out to MetalSucks Maniacs Troy Burns, Liza Shue, Jonathan O’Reilly, Dave Muntean and Adam Mielnicki. They each correctly identified last week’s logo as belonging to the hilariously monikered band Cuntscrape, and each win an autographed New York Dolls One Day it Will Please Us to Remember Even This CD booklet. Good work, everyone!
Okay. So. We have five, and only five, booklets remaining. These things are sweet and, c’mon, IT’S THE NEW YORK FUCKING DOLLS, so you want one – and this is your absolute last chance to get a copy.
Please note that we’re not giving away any copies of the actual One Day it Will Please Us… CD. Still, that shouldn’t bother you ’cause a) it’s been out for awhile and hopefully you already own it and b) this prize is so fucking cool in and of itself.
All you have to do to win is identify the name of the band whose logo appears below, then shoot me an e-mail with your answer, your name and address at axl [at] metalsucks.net. We’ll randomly select five winners from everyone who gets it right, and announce his or her names next week.
Ladies and gents, start yer engines… it’s a hard one this week…

Horns up for MetalSucks Maniacs David Massey, Alex Carter, Andrew McCann, Andy Robbins and Tim Meisenheimer; they each correctly identified last week’s logo as belonging to the band Plerosis, and each win a copy of Airbourne’s Runnin’ Wild for their trobules. Good job, fellas! Now go throw some shrip on the barbie, let the dingo eat your baby, and whatever other Australian stereotypes you can think of as you rock out to the best AC/DC album AC/DC never made.
Now, this week: Roadrunner has graciously donated ten more of the autographed New York Dolls One Day it Will Please Us to Remember Even This CD booklet that proved to be so popular (and rightfully so!) back in January. We’ll give away five this week and five next week, and then, when they’re gone, they are g-o-n-e.
Please note that we’re not giving away any copies of the actual One Day it Will Please Us… CD. Still, that shouldn’t bother you ’cause a) it’s been out for awhile and hopefully you already own it and b) this prize is so fucking cool in and of itself.

BTW, while I obviously can’t tell you what the name of the band is, I can say that they easily have the funniest name of any unreadable band logo so far…
Good luck!
