New logo, new me

Art by the magnificent @LukeOram 💀

[David Burke @metal_analysis]

My band now has a logo which incorporates Lacanese to reach new heights of wanky esotericism

[David Burke @metal_analysis]

Free metal is retroactive:

Ornette Coleman is the North Star but is not metal.

John Zorn is the icon who cares not - Naked City and Painkiller are no more.

Imperial Triumphant, Sumac and Liturgy play free metal without the name.

Tell me about others that deserve canonisation.

Metal bands - are you spiky or drippy? How unreadable is your logo? Is it dry or wet?
