      I genuinely figured these were just gibberish, created for the sake of the meme. Or at most that someone took actual band logos and added more superfluous Iines to them to make them even more unintelligible. But no, judging by your links, it looks like these are real logos that are actually in use by legitimate bands.

        They’re real, in use, and for the meme. This specific subgenre of heavy music is very self-aware and at least 30% tongue-in-cheek, while at the same time being serious. It’s a lot more fun and a lot sillier than it appears from the outside, I promise.

        It’s sort of like that discourse that happened awhile ago about the difference between “camp” and “tacky”; this stuff is strongly camp, just its own kind of camp.

        I can kinda see it but they should really add some color to make the words more distinguishable.

        But something tells me that would defeat the point, whatever that point may be.

          Xavleg is real but they’re definitely doing it to be absurd on purpose. Dunno much about waking the cadaver

          I think the point is to express genre - you can often guess it right by the typeface of the logo - how noisy the music is and/or how hard it is to decipher lyrics based on the sound alone

      I like their full band name:

      Acidic Vaginal Liquid Explosion Generated by Mass Amounts of Filthy Fecal Fisting and Sadistic Septic Syphilic Sodomy Inside the Infected Maggot Infested Womb of a Molested Nun Dying Under the Roof of a Burning Church While a Priest Watches and Ejaculates in Immense Perverse Pleasure Over His First Fresh Fetus.
