Boredom-Busting Bumper Band Name Quiz: The Bloodening
This ought to kill a few minutes. Some are lookupable, some are cryptic, some are straightforward. Some are related to the actual origin of the name. Some are solo artists rather than bands. As before, duplicates are deliberate, and pedantry or complaints will be blithely ignored. And ONLY ONE ANSWER PER POST. Multiple posts are allowed. Have fun.
