The Doctor
Aborted
Does The Doctor count as Aborted's mascot? I hope so. I can't find anything concrete, but there's a good case to be made for the Doc. Take a look at their albuā¦
Jimmy Mc Fucknugget
Alestorm
This mascot (first called Roy) is present on all of the band's albums. According to Alestorm, that should soon change. Indeed, it would seem that the little moā¦
Alice / alice in hell
Annihilator
Just like the alice doll that appears on quite a few of the band's album covers, it's Alice in the flesh (whom you can just as often see on the band's covers)ā¦
Not man
Anthrax
The mascot chosen by Anthrax strangely doesn't appear on any of the band's album covers. You have to fall back on the merchandising to find the mustachioed felā¦
The Anvil
Anvil
We've seen stylish mascots, ugly mascots, invisible mascots, and now I have the honor of presenting to you a mascot that isn't even a living being. Anvil has pā¦
Deathbath
Avenged Sevenfold
WOW a flying skull! How original! Okay, more seriously, I'm willing to accept it's just a coincidence, but where Charly oozes class, the Deathbat is too... norā¦
Goat
Bathory
The goat is a symbol of black magic that is one of the most frequent images in Metal iconography. In Black Metal, it is undoubtedly associated with Bathory andā¦
Henry / Fallen Angel
Black Sabbath
Another very low-key mascot, since it has never even appeared on a studio album. The one named Henry only shows up on the merch and the compilations, always frā¦
Hooded guy
Blind Guardian
Blind Guardian's mascot has been around from the very beginning. Drawn by Andreas Marshall, it's this bizarre being, a sort of faceless guardian who holds theā¦
Nosferatu
Bloodbound
The band uses as its mascot a character depicted as a vampire demon; this mascot appears on all of the band's album covers.
Edison
Bruce Dickinson
Also straight out of the imagination of Derek Riggs (Eddie, of Iron Maiden), Edison is a rather easy play on words to name the son of Eddie, Iron Maiden's famoā¦
Roy
Children of Bodom
Roy is to Children Of Bodom what Eddie is to Iron Maiden; indeed, the famous grim reaper appears on all of the band's albums.
Agent 57
Crisix
Crisix managed to stand out with their goofy fellow named Agent 57. Oozing all over, disfigured, chewing on pizzas and burgers, he's the parody of the Americanā¦
Bill z. bubb
Dangerous Toys
Nobody knows what twisted mind came up with the name of the clown that appears on all of Dangerous Toys' albums, but it suits him very well.
Crystar
Danzig
Discreet, Crystar is nonetheless the symbol of Glenn Danzig's solo career. Appearing on the cover of the first two albums, he never came back afterwards. He isā¦
Vector
Death Angel
Three wolves with bloodied jaws and sporting a skull on their snouts, this trio of aggressive beasts nicely symbolizes the predatory aspect of Thrash. When youā¦
Mad butcher
Destruction
Destruction's mascot is seen only once before the split, on the album Mad Butcher. You'll have to wait for the band's return in the early 2000s and three albumā¦
Facebone
Dethklok
Facebones is more than just a mascot for Dethklok. The floating, decomposing yet still jovial head is adorned with a few horns and spikes, while the eye socketā¦
Ziltoid
Devin Townsend
Coming from the concept album that bears his name, Ziltoid is a galactic dictator who threatens to destroy humanity if he isn't served the best cup of coffee iā¦
Murray
Dio
Murray makes his appearance on Holy Diver and the three following albums. After that, Ronnie James Dio would opt for dragons and all sorts of other monsters.
The Guy
Disturbed
What began as a simple drawing of a scary face with white lines on a black background on Disturbed's "The Sickness" turned into a full-fledged mascot simply niā¦
The joker
Edguy
The Joker appears for the first time on the album Mandrake. At that time, the mascot doesn't yet have a name; you'll have to wait for the album Rocket Ride forā¦
Doctor Philty
Exhumed
A bloody chainsaw held by an unknown assailant was a feature of Exhumed's first album from 1998, "Gore Metal". It wasn't until the start of this decade ā whenā¦
Halloween guy
Exumer
Exumer's mascot appears on all three of the band's albums. It's not quite clear where its name comes from, but it's surely due to the fact that it's a sort ofā¦
Knucklehead
Five Finger Death Punch
If there's one guy who's "Got Your Six", it's Knucklehead, the mascot of Five Finger Death Punch. The name is also reserved for the band's die-hard fans, thusā¦
Flotzilla
Flotsam and Jetsam
A somewhat forgotten Thrash band, Flotsam and Jetsam nonetheless has a really cool mascot. This big demonic reptile is imposing, he's even stronger than the deā¦
Fangface
Gamma Ray
Gamma Ray's mascot, Fangface, actually makes his first appearance on Helloween's album Walls Of Jericho. Since the latter would come to prefer Pumpkinhead, Kaiā¦
The reaper
Grave Digger
The guys over at Grave Digger, for their part, went for a stiff about as plain as they come. But that doesn't mean it works any less well! Sure, it's less creaā¦
Hector
HammerFall
He's tall, he's strong and super well designed: it's Hector, the representative of the Swedish band Hammerfall! Sporting an imposing suit of armor and a colossā¦
Jack o. lantern
Helloween
Jack O'Lantern, a pumpkin man with a head out of proportion to his scarecrow body, steps in at short notice to replace the Keeper, who had himself succeeded thā¦
Set abominae
Iced Earth
Set Abominae is a bit like if Eddie were a PokĆ©mon that had evolved to the next level. The influence of Iron Maiden's mascot on Iced Earth's is rather strikingā¦
The jesterhead
In Flames
In Flames' mascot, The Jesterhead, is actually more of a logo than a real mascot. You can see it starting from the band's very first album, the aptly named Theā¦
Eddie the head
Iron Maiden
Eddie is the mascot of the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. He appears on most of the band's record covers as well as at their concerts. He is nicknamed Ā«ā¦
The painkiller
Judas Priest
Judas Priest's mascot, The Painkiller (that sort of winged metal angel), appears on a few of the band's album covers such as Painkiller, Jugulator or even Angeā¦
Heartbeast
Kataklysm
Kataklysm's mascot, this sort of evil gargoyle, can be seen since the album In The Arms Of Devastation. So still very recent compared to the band's seniority.
Vaari
Korpiklaani
This sort of druid with deer antlers represents the spirits of the forest. It's true, what better choice when you're a Folk Metal band than to pick a druid asā¦
Violent mind
Kreator
Kreator's mascot, which can be seen among other places on Terrible Certainty, disappears after the album Coma Of Souls and comes back with Violent Revolution.ā¦
Captain crunch
Lȧȧz Rockit
The story of Laaz Rockit's mascot is not really known, even though it is present on all of the band's albums.
Manowarrior
Manowar
Now this guy is Conan's little brother. But instead of calling him "Conan junior", better call him "Manowarrior", he prefers that... Not much to say about thisā¦
Vic rattlehead
Megadeth
With his biomechanical skull, Vic Rattlehead has nothing to envy in the strangest creature from System Shock or Doom... A bit like Eddie, he likes to explore vā¦
Scary Guy
Metallica
Metallica's Scary Guy mascot made its first appearance on the 1992 single "Live at Wembley" and was created by James Hetfield. The frontman is also responsibleā¦
Alister fiend
Mƶtley CrĆ¼e
Motley Crue's mascot is a bit like Anthrax's; you don't see it on album covers but on lots of merchandising like T-shirts. He's the guy who was disguised as Drā¦
Snaggletooth
Motƶrhead
Snaggletooth is apparently the name given to Motƶrhead's mascot logo, sometimes nicknamed "War Pig". This creature has a rather improbable look and doesn't enjā¦
Alister Vale
Orden Ogan
Another very underrated Metal mascot, omitted by many websites, is none other than Alister Vale of Orden Ogan. He always wears a red bandana covering the lowerā¦
Chaly
Overkill
There's not much to say about Chaly; we don't even know where that ridiculous name comes from. He first appeared on the album Under The Influence, released inā¦
Peter Pain
Pain
A humanoid hybrid between a voodoo doll and a robot, this little character is the adorable mascot of the great Peter TƤgtgren's Industrial project. Unlike otheā¦
Varcolac
Powerwolf
Metal is a menagerie, and the wolf is a favored animal found in a good number of bands (Varg, Thy Art is Murder, Death Angel...). But it's Powerwolf that has aā¦
Iron eagle
Primal Fear
Primal Fear's Iron Eagle has been there since the beginning, but it's only on the cover of the album 16.6 that it becomes a sort of hybrid, half eagle, half huā¦
Man with the iron mask
Quiet Riot
The nutcase in a straitjacket and iron mask shows up with Quiet Riot's return in 1983 on the album Metal Health. Not much more is really known about the choiceā¦
Soundchaser
Rage
Rage's mascot first appears on the album Perfect Man. Since then, it turns up on several covers. The band even went so far as to dedicate an album to it, telliā¦
Johnny
Riot
Riot's mascot, nicknamed Johnny (a sort of seal-headed man), is surely one of the most reviled in the Metal world. And the mostly horribly ugly album covers ceā¦
Captain adrian
Running Wild
Running Wild's mascot has been around since the band's beginnings and has never left them, except on the horrible cover of the album Shadowmaker. You can evenā¦
O.d.
Sacred Reich
Not much is known about Sacred Reich's gas-mask man, nor about his name. He appears for the first time on the album Surf Nicaragua.
Skeleton Mitch
Skeletonwitch
Skeletons are a drag. But skeletons with horns are still better, right? This furious revenant with a pagan look would have had less class if it hadn't been draā¦
Ghost Of War
Slayer
While the Baphogoat from Slayer's first album, Show No Mercy, has become an icon, the band's true mascot is the Ghost Of War ā a screaming demonic skull wearinā¦
Sargent d.
Sod
Actually, SoD's sergeant is a bit like Eddie's failed little brother... And SoD is categorically a band that doesn't take itself seriously, that sees itself asā¦
Knarrenheinz
Sodom
Sodom's mascot arrives with the album Persecution Mania and will never leave the German band again. They even wrote him the song Knarrenheinz on the album In Wā¦
The drunk alien
Tankard
Unknown on the band's first three albums, Tankard's mascot makes its appearance on the EP Alien, released in 1989. Since then it has been seen on about ten ofā¦
Korgull
Voivod
Korgull, the band's mascot, still gives off a certain class; he looks like the monsters you doodle in the corner of a notebook when you're bored stiff in classā¦
