Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Demilich was a death metal band who has become more respected in recent years in the death metal community for their unsung gem "Nespithe". Who was the vocalist of Demilich?

Answer: Antti Boman

The correct answer is Antti Boman, whose rather "unusual" vocals added to the overall "otherworldliness" of the "Nespithe" album.

2. Megadeth has become known for a revolting door lineup. Who has not been a member of Megadeth?

Answer: Jeff Drover

Jeff Drover has never been in Megadeth. Glen and Shawn Drover, however, were featured on the 2007 Megadeth album "United Abominations".

3. Which album is not part of thrash metal's "Unholy Trinity of 1986"?

Answer: Morbid Saint's "Spectrum of Death"

Though "Spectrum of Death" may be stylistically similar to the "Unholy Trinity", it was released in 1988, therefore making it impossible to be 1/3 of 1986's "Unholy Trinity" of thrash.

Answer: Mark Vanderbilt

Khan (formerly of the band Conception) replaced Mark Vanderbilt, making his Kamelot vocal debut on Kamelot's "Siege Perilous" album.

Answer: Bruce Dickinson

Sabbath drummer Bill Ward sang on a couple of Sabbath tracks ("It's Alright" and "Swinging the Chain"). Ian Gillan, known to most as the vocalist of Deep Purple, was featured on Sabbath's album "Born Again". Rob Halford has tackled live vocal duties for Sabbath.

Answer: Nocturnus

Nocturnus became known for being among the first death metal bands to incorporate keyboards into their music and would release the death metal classic "The Key".

Olivio performs a guest solo on the track "Making Roadkill" from Cretin's debut, "Freakery".

8. Which of these is not a death metal band?

Answer: Children of Bodom

The Finnish metal band Children of Bodom does not play death metal (being power/speed metal with harsh vocals).

9. The genre of melodeath is also often referred to as what "Swedish" (hint!) style of metal?

Answer: Gothenburg

Melodeath is also often referred to as "Gothenburg" metal, referred to as such because Gothenburg is where bands such as In Flames and Dark Tranquillity were based.

10. Barney Greenway is the current vocalist of Napalm Death. Which British death metal band was Greenway in before Napalm Death?

Answer: Benediction

The only other choice that was a British band was Bolt Thrower, and Greenway was not in Bolt Thrower (though, Dave Ingram from Benediction has been a member of Bolt Thrower).
