Wow, so many at one sweep! 02, 08, 09, 12, 15, 16, 17 and 20 are

As for 01: not quite but the band name I'm looking for is equally short, and it's another acronym.

Ruins of Beverast and Thy Catafalque? eclectic listening...

Coasty, your 3 guesses are correct but no brownie cos you cheated you should have gotten band #4 as well at least...

I stopped after the first three because cheating is boring.

Both are correct

stolen from another forum, here's another image riddle:

More bidet gel -> Morbid Angel?

correct, but the "reading" was a little different in my head...

I'll have a go. Some might be very easy.

An extremely magnificent sorcerer.

Ancient, very old, before man or beasts roamed the earth, often goes well with soup.

A poisonous, rank element that last for an extremely long, undetermined period of time.

A gargantuan, writhing sea beast from the depths. Gustav Dore was fond of drawing this.

A blanket of night for these places of the dead.

Not a Saint, but clad the same way, of the Seraphic lineage.

A Buddhist monk once used this in a shocking form of protest.

Numerous religions believe this to be the process of obtaining true self or reaching a higher state of being. Even those worshiping darker paths.

Leviathan
Immolation
probably wrong but… Nile?
Aura Noir / Aura Noire

These are all correct

The others answers lie in the clue! One is rather obscure yes.

Only one more... don't know the others.



Sulphur Aeon

Also correct one of the last three is somewhat easier to decipher given the words I've used, but the other two... well we'll see what happens with them.

I assume this thread is just general metal charades at this point? So not a favourite band of mine, but:

siydjowe

I'm necrobumping this, because I want someone to solve my previous post.

Death?

Yes.

Another favorite:

Vocalist died of drug overdose in 2002.

Probably Alice in Chains

Correct

Not masochistic reluctance
Not love briefly

Not necessarily my favorite band, but one of. This following song is from perhaps the best, heaviest, most original, nonconformist, idiosyncratically and elegantly aggressive metal record ever:

"To HÄÄÄÄÄÄNG on, to what ...", followed by incredibly heavy guitar riff. Really sticks in your head.

That medieval torture method where they put people into coffins filled with spikes.
