I wasn't going to let this one sit indefinitely. Anyway, they're a funk-metal band who got their name from Arthurian legend.

I'll give it a few hours and then post the answer so we can get on with the game...

 

[Nate The Great]

Where are they from? What's the name start with? I feel the answer looming in front of me, but I can't quite grasp it.

 

[eppst1]

The band you are looking for is called Mordred.


What does Borknagar mean?

 

[Nate The Great]

". . . the name a variation on a fictitious character in a Norwegian fairy tale which yields no concrete definition, very much like the epic music they set out to create."

That came directly from Borknagar's website. Is that good enough? If so, here's my question:

Q: What was Varg Vikernes' original first name?

A: Christian.

I think I'll do everyone a favor and not ask another question (assuming my answer was right...)

 

[Nate The Great]

I think it was spelled with a "K", but you were close enough.

Why are you ending the thread St. Vitus? Am I the only one that gets bored at work? Are you just saying you don't think people like to anwer your questions?

Oh, I have no problems continuing the trivia game! It was just my last two questions hung around for a while and I didn't want to be the one responsible for constantly stalling the game

Also it seems the only questions I can think of are from a bygone era of metal. Oh well.

Name one band (I know of two) who has covered the 1968 Arthur Brown song "Fire".

 

[The Wanderer]

FA-Q asshole! How about a headbanger? I'm tired of these Mental meltdowns.

 

[St. Vitus]

OK. What country is Annihilator from?

 

[The Wanderer]

Now you're just throwing it away. I'm just poking fun. But canada.

[dill_the_devil]

Did Soulfly do it? They've got a track called 'Fire' on the first album, but I don't think it was a cover...

 

[The Wanderer]

no that wasn't a cover

 

[Alfonso]

Cathedral! The cover is on their 1996 EP "Hopkins".

A member of this seminal black metal band disappeared somewhere around 1994, puzzling both the metal community and his own bandmates! Name the band and the banished member.

Wild-assed guess here. Was it It of Abruptum?

That´s, of course, Zephyrous of the mighty Darkthrone.

And a question from me:

The Iron Maiden track To Tame A Land is based on a novel. What´s the name of the novel and who wrote it?

 

[St. Vitus]

Dune, written by Frank Herbert.

Q: What's the name of the first Running Wild album?

 

[Nate The Great]

The first Demo was Heavy Metal like a Hammerblow, the first album was Gates to Purgatory. Am I correct? If so, here is my question:

Q: What does the term "Azagthoth" refer to? As in Morbid Angel's founder and guitarist Trey Azagthoth.

 

[The Wanderer]

the blind idiot god of chaos from lovecraft.

who was the drummer on the first Sarcofago album, INRI and when was it released and what label did it come out on?

 

[J.]

A: DD Crazy, 1987, Cogumelo

Q: What two death metal bands did Martin Van Drunen sing for in the late 80's-early 90's?
