The correct answer to yesterday's "Indecipherable Logo" is Abacinate. We're pretty sure these New Jersey sickos got their name from Slayer's song "Angel of Death" and the line "Abacinate, eyes that bleed/ Showers that drain you of your life."

According to Websters Dictionary, Abacinate means "to blind by a red-hot metal plate held before the eyes." Nasty. Read more...

What evil lurks in the hearts of the twisted bastards who concocted this logo? Judging from the sharp angles and claw-like construction that meets in the middle, these guys are pretty serious about their splattery death metal. The members probably all work in animal shelters or volunteer in an old age home. From our experience, the nastier the music, the nicer and more kind-hearted the musicians. Of course that's not always the case. We kinda doubt David Vincent has ever spooned out turkey dinners to the homeless on Christmas Eve. Oh, and these guys get extra points for using a sample from "Aqua Teen Adventures" in one of their songs and making it sound brutal.

The scar-crossed logo you see before you, does indeed belong to Hinus Paganus, as Gvoltt wrote. There's not much information out there about these guys other than that they've from Brazil and their lineup consists of singer and guitarist Dismal, bassist Infernal Spectro and drummer Lusbel Vonlord.

To date, they've have released five songs on an 2003 split EP with Black Angel called Occult Eternal Mystery/Inferno: "Christ in Flames," "The Destruction," "Inferno," "Obscure" and "A Máscara."

Little is known about the current whereabouts of Hinus Paganus, however they are believed to still be active and creation blasphemous serenades somewhere in the jungles of Brazil.

Unholy Hell. This mess of a logo looks like a mass of squirmy blood-sucking centipedes wriggling around an inverted cross. We know they suck blood because of the drippy trails coming off their bodies and falling below the horizontal rung of the cross. Read more...


The ghastly logo above belongs to Intracranial Butchery. The two-piece Columbia, Missouri industrial death metal band features two dudes who have no last names -- singer Jaymes and drummer, guitarist and programmer Chris.

Before starting Intracranial Butchery, Chris was looking to form a band with guitarists, a bassist and a drummer, but no one met his venomous criteria, so he decided to write songs himself on guitar and back them with an old drum machine. Then he asked Urophagia singer, Jaymes, to track some vocals. A few sloppy sessions later, Intracranial Butchery were born. There was just one major problem. Jaymes lives in Colorado, which is over 1,000 miles away from Columbia. So, for now, everything with Intracranial Butchery has to be done over the Internet, limiting the band's ability to tour.

Chris says his biggest influences are Cephalotripsy, Devourment, Vulvectomy, Abominable Putridity, Glossectomy and Drowning in Phemaldehyde. According to his MySpace, one of Intracranial Butchery's tracks will appear on the compilation album Human Drummer Extinction Squad, which is scheduled for July. The band is currently working on a split-CD with Plerosis.

This must be what the ivy growing on the outside wall of King Ov Hell's castle looks like -- black, spiny and no doubt poisonous. We only hope the owners of this logo don't do serious psychedelics because in the wrong frame of mind we can imagine the jagged tendrils leaping off flyers, banners and merch designs and disemboweling unwary indulgers with a few swift jabs. Man, we gotta stop drinking absinthe and listening to Gorgoroth.


This disgusting looking logo belongs to a charming band from Berlin called Diarrhoea. Little information is available about the group's past history, but its current lineup consists of singer and guitarist Paul, guitarist Basti, bassist Erik and drumme Steppe. Read more...

Whatever way you want to slice it, this is not a pretty logo. It's sloppy, splattery and probably smells bad, too. The complete lack of angles is fairly uncharacteristic for extreme metal and the overall effect of the squishy white-on-black letters is kind of nauseating. By the look of things, pretty much any graphically violent or satanic band could wipe the floor with these guys. Hell, even Ratt's logo is more hardcore. Ahh, how looks are deceiving. And if you think the logo's messy, come back tomorrow to check out the band's music, which makes Anal Blast sound like In Flames.

The first reader to correctly guess that the indecipherable logo belongs to Fraser, Michigan death/grindcore band Saprogenic was Kratz. Two severed thumbs up for the informed, insightful headbanger.

Saprogenic was formed in July, 2001by guitarist John Skinner, singer Jeremy Swanson and ex-Parallax View drummer Jerrod Macpherson. After jamming around a bit, second guitarist Suat Kusefoglu and bassist Tim Recchia were brought into the fold. Almost immediately, Saprogenic played their debut show at the Detroit Contemporary.

Today's logo comes to you courtesy of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, who surely could have put out a bestselling cannibal cookbook had he not been beaten to death in prison. The logo isn't too fancy. All of the letters features jagged barbs, which contribute to its illegibility. Maybe the name means prickly cactus in another language... and maybe it doesn't.
