    On the plus side, you can actually figure out what they’re called without reading the logo five times over. 🙃

      Right? May as well all be the same band. It’s not even like the styling is distinctive, you don’t see the logo and think of that band, it just blends in with all the rest.

        I mean, I did not want to claim that it is the only one on there, but that was rather because of No Altars and Wolf King. Those are fonts I’ve seen before.

        With your examples, well, I didn’t have to read them 5 times, but it didn’t go that great either. And I did not realize those were numbers at the end of “Unit 731” until your comment just now.

        I should add, though, that I’m not a metalhead. I’m sure, if one has heard these band names before, it becomes much easier.

    Every time I see this poster here, I am going to post a picture from the last concert I went to.

    It doesn’t seem like they are coming through Denver again for a while. :(

    I know this poster is old, but damn if it doesn’t make me laugh every single time. This is such a great joke, but also an absolutely brilliant marketing move- everyone gets a laugh for sure, and I guarantee anyone not already aware of the bands on the roster is going to remember exactly one band in particular over the others.
