2. Detente! lol

6. Satan!

4. i got that same universe as a mental image, but there's no significant bands with names that match... Saruman? Sauron? Mordor is not a "he" :/

3. a literal Eastern European leader of warriors
Hint: In a lyric, their singer once eloquently proclaimed something like: 'Empty your bowels, I am not a sea creature!' – or words to that effect.
Bonus hint (since people certainly don't know their lyrics by heart): In 2005, their original guitar player went to a different dimension.

3. Voivod

character from the james bond books/films + V

3. Voivod

Bonus hint: a big cheese in Bilbo's prequel

Hint: Two words: the Glaswegian club + water vapour near 0 °C.

9. where woe, lamentation, fire, oblivion and hate flow
Hint: The place where the River of Woe, the River of L… etc. are located.

7. famous one-legged avenger
Hint: The name of a world-famous one-legged man who's out for revenge. The name was well-known long before rock 'n' roll.

it's so obvious any clue i give you is axully too much recurring character

edit: ok, here's another, sneakier, sideways clue: one of the original band members' names features in many, many photos of metal bands. it's still too obvious as i'm typing this, but nevermind

"fairer" clue: if you tried all JB character names to see which fits, you probably don't know the band, otherwise you'd have got it

Morgoth?

Oh my fucking god.

Celtic Frost. Duh! Can't believe I didn't get it right away.

Erm... Hades?



Ahab.

as i said, you probably don't know the band... don't worry. you'll have a laugh when (hopefully) smn gets it

Wahn_nhaW is 99% right for his last 3 guesses and i honestly can't believe how obvious they are now :/

I'm gonna cheat a bit in that:

1) this is a current and a recent favorite, maybe not the absolute favorite once the dust settles; we'll see;
2) they're not on the archives, but once were; members of the band may still have their pages on MA on the account of their guest appearances.

Anyway, my current favorite band is "a drawn mark that a messenger would carry on his palm in medieval times so that the monarch would find it dishonorable to have him killed should he find the news not to his liking".

Re: the James Bond thing… QV? Green with EMVY? Moneypennyv? Goldvinger? Yes, I really started to study several JB wikis that list all characters from the movies and the books… with no result.

… because "He who arises in Might" is just the literal meaning of the Quenya word "Melkor" and then... the thing with the Trees...:

"Last of all is set the name of Melkor, He who arises in Might. But that name he has forfeited; and the Noldor, who among the Elves suffered most from his malice, will not utter it, and [after the forest damage, er, I mean, after the destruction of the Two Trees of Valinor *g*] they name him Morgoth, the Dark Enemy of the World."
(Tolkien: The Silmarillion, Of the Enemies)

[Is it the Mortiis project Vond?

Anyone wanna have another go at this? Tell me if you need any more hints.

yes, please hint away. I even googled for "don't kill the messenger symbol" with no results... :/

Uh, forget about the definition. Apparently, it's wrong. Let me try again.

It's a hand gesture and/or a shouted phrase indicating truce. From what I understand, it was more prevalent in certain parts of the North American continent and is now probably considered archaic even there.

The term has origins in much older times. If you had to carry a document from one place to another, the presence of [band name] in the form of a seal on said document would make your travel much safer.

At first, I thought it was the blackened noise band Wold, since they were once on here, but got deleted for being too noisy for acceptable raw black metal. However, the word means some open grass area and originated in England, so that can't be it. Another hint, please?

The seal is bestowed by a type of a ruler, a monarch. The monarch's title is in the name of the band.

King's X ?
