Worst Band Logos vol.1: Norwegian metal

BizarreRecords has recently discovered the Metal Archives. This site provides a nearly endless supply of hilarity which I plan to blog here on BizarreRecords.

Let me start with the band logos of Norway...

PUT SOME EFFORT INTO IT


Throat Violence needs more colored pencils.


Buttocks. Really. I guess you wouldn't have to worry about someone else taking your band name.


Warfield sounds fat.


Black Magic needs a ruler. And a blotter. And a magic font wand.


Töxik Death. The umlaut makes it extra toxic.


Vigour Abruptness? What the hell does that mean?

WAIT, TOO MUCH EFFORT!


Any band logo showing the abuse of a child is likely not Soon To Be Forgotten.


Tritonus. Its just a bit "busy" to me. If it were on a T-shirt, I would prefer Buttocks.


Breed. Eeew.

AND A FEW MORE FAVORITES


Kvelertak. Ok that's kind of cool. If you like owls.


Mysticum's horns look like they were added as an afterthought.


Mundifare will cut you.


Minniv. Is that a sword or an upside down cross?

COMING SOON:
Match the unintelligable logo with the band!!

Bizarre Christmas Covers

Mickey Gilley, "Christmas At Gilley's"

Gotta love Santa hoisting a beer. a Gilley's beer, no less.


Harry Secombe, "Christmas Cheer"

Listen as Harry spreads his Cheer on ALL the little boys and girls!


Mirror Image, "Disco Noel"

Yet another Christmas disco record. The disco ball ornaments are pretty cool. Just don't get the fake snow mixed up with the stash of real stuff or the dance party is gonna be REALLY dull.


The Surfers, "Christmas From Hawaii"

The studly Surfers are rowing their way right into your Christmas party with a boatfull of presents and a pretty pink tree. But if you want to buy, you're out of luck; They're not for sale!


The Kingston Trio, "The Last Month of the Year"

Dave, Nick, and Bob... Three ding-dongs bearing gifts and ready to stick their fingers where they don't belong.
