Text designed to look like the logo of a [[heavy metal]] band, most often in the style of ones used by [[black metal]] or death metal bands. Common features include excessive jagged edges and intricate lines that fold in on themselves; occasionally they also feature near-illegibility. 

Many real-world logos are either illustrated by or based on the work of Belgian calligrapher [b]Christophe Szpajdel[/b], who defined the general style.
