Heavy metal band name quiz: How many of these logos can you read?

Anal Cunt circa 2008

Over the years, heavy metal has produced some of the greatest band names in the history of music. From the unsettling (Dying Fetus, Cattle Decapitation) to the blasphemous (Rotting Christ, Deicide) to the gleefully profane (Anal Cunt), heavy metal has a long history of fantastic band names.

During a recent excursion down the good ol' information superhighway, I was fortunate enough to stumble across a company called Brutal Disorder Logos. From what I can gather, this guy is an artist who lives in Mexico and designs heavy metal band logos for the low, low price of only $30. On his MySpace page, he has an extensive gallery of work he's done for bands the world over. He's actually pretty good at what he does (so much so that I'm somewhat tempted to plunk down 30 bones to see what he comes up with for Tempe Carnivore), but what makes this so fantastic is some of the incredibly awesome band names.

I've picked out a few of my favorites to share with you all. Let's see how well you do at reading heavy metal band logos.  Below are 10 logos that should get progressively harder to discern.
