As a genre, Teutonic Thrash Metal has a distinct German character, and a few notable exceptions aside, this is reflected in the kind of logos bands in this genre have. Like 1980s US Thrash logos, Teutonic Thrash logos are extremely angular, with fixed angles, but with less emphasis on symmetry, and the letters are generally more blocky in shape. With this, German Thrashers seem to be saying, “We believe in robustness over sophistication, and function over form.” Which is all fine and dandy until you try to put a cube through a round hole. It’s probably why you’ve never heard of Kreator … while you no doubt own a copy of the “Black” album.
