Here's a good one.

This band has been known for making the same album over and over again, but those who've given their albums a chance will realize that each album has its own special style that actually makes each album stand out from each other.

This one if still unanswered from me. Added another part to the 'cryptic' bit, with a more generic hint that may help in the spoiler tags. Don't know if it's made it too easy but we'll see.

Fictional 80s/90s jock doesn’t want tea - the fictional jock was in a show was set in a US high school.
Actor Christian also doesn't want tea.

Spoiler: show

Another hint: They play bestial black/war metal.

Is this correct?

Let it be said that both "Love" and "Suicide" are (great) bands, though I figure that's not what you meant.

maybe this will be easy:

Just some kids who wrote some songs about needles, LSD, patricide and suicidal thoughts

though the band's name is one word, you will have to put it together from two separate words, each springing from the two words i have given...

Well, this is Slater [something]. I imagine it's not Sleater-Kinney.

Ah! Very clever, this one. Anathema, also one of my favorites.

You're very close with part of this, which I think will make the answer obvious

I'm realizing now this may have been way more vague than I thought. So I'll give another:

they came from the swamps in the south

Damnation and hellfire and Jesus Christ on a pogo stick... SLAYER! Literally a Slater without a T(ea).

Q5:
side A / first four songs on steel the light are all killer no filler! \m/ side B is a little less good and the 2nd album is much lighter...

"propulsion shuttle from the city of angels"

maybe this will be easy:

Just some kids who wrote some songs about needles, LSD, patricide and suicidal thoughts

"propulsion shuttle from the city of angels"

… and suddenly it looks like a weird pun on Lȧȧz Rockit…! :aww:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another round (although some seem to be too obvious):

1. Legendary English punk - off the record.

2. Sounds a bit like the co-founder and president of Atlantic Records and is the pope's fave.

3. Extra-rhotic sun in flames.

4. Twist Thomas (but don't twist first and last names).

5. One's thread was cut by Atropos a long time ago, the other's being watched with Argus eyes.

6. Asterix hasn't come across it yet.

7. Strictly …!

8. Poor …!

9. The opposite of birth certificate.

10. The opposite of loot (something of this character is sometimes seen in pubs and cafés) (not on the archives).

wraithlike wrote:

Eyehategod?

4. Oliver Magnum

7. Forbidden?

8. SOD?

10. Tool?

3. Extra-rhotic sun in flames.

9. The opposite of birth certificate.

Coastliner wrote:

Had to search what "rhotic" meant, but a nice one... Burning Starr!

Coastliner wrote:

9. The opposite of birth certificate.

Obituary?

4. the lady who lived for some time with seven short men... pronounced with a German accent

6. "I... am... your father"

- a mathematical operation involving a number slightly smaller than the answer to everything

5. the book that follows Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins

Okay so I'll try my hand, just to pass some time since, seeing some of them on this thread, they'll likely be quite easy:

3. in war-related videogames, the common name of the shadows (or mist) that hide the unknown (or too far) parts of a map to the player

7. that exercise with frogs US schools like so much (at least according to TV shows)

Band 2) Without a Clearly Defined Shape or Form

Fog of War

Dissection

Band 1) Sword-Bearing

Okay so I'll try my hand, just to pass some time since, seeing some of them on this thread, they'll likely be quite easy:

1. one of the people in a calendar who somehow has a strange obsession with death
2. a Latin word roughly translatable as "from the dead"

- wealthy lads who take hallucinogenic drugs

HorrorMetal wrote:

1. Morbid Angel?

50% correct. Pay attention to the "calendar" thing (hoping it's a thing also outside of my country...).

I'm gonna up the ante (well, sort of) and use an image to say the band's name. I'll be really really heartbroken if the first person who sees this does not immediately identify the band

Spoiler: show

big cheese searches for evil women

not unplugged Gandalf

Ah, it's good, thanks for the answer, - I wanted to know if I understood it correctly. I was not sure about the answer, because I am almost unfamiliar with these subgenres of metal music (they are way too extreme and aggressive (both musically and lyrically/aesthetically) for me tbh), and I have never listened to any albums by Revenge so I don't know anything about the specifics/differences of the styles on the albums from their discography (except that the music is very repetitive in general and is mostly very fast - that's all I remembered from that thread). This game can be interesting not only because you can make the descriptions and/or guess band names and learn some new words (and the meanings of those words)/facts about something in general, but also because it is about favorite metal bands, and there is a wide variety of (sub)genres and styles in musical preferences of MA members who post here, - so it can also be a motivation for checking out/learning about some metal bands/or even some subgenres/styles of metal music that you have not heard of before/or didn't give close attention to, + and it can also refresh your memory and remind you of some metal bands/subgenres that you forgot about. This is great.
