Metal Font Generator
Metal band logos typically combine sharp gothic/blackletter lettering with jagged, distorted marks — Bold Gothic and heavy glitch text get closest to that look without needing a custom logo design.
Creepy (Cursed) gives the most extreme distortion; Iron Runes swaps in an angular rune-like alphabet for a heavier, more metal-specific feel.

How It Works
Type your text, tap Copy on the style you like, then paste it anywhere — it's plain Unicode text, so it works everywhere. See the full walkthrough with screenshots.
The two ingredients of a metal-logo look
Metal band logos, especially death and black metal ones, typically layer two things: sharp gothic/blackletter letterforms and jagged distortion marks that make the lettering harder to read at a glance (a deliberate genre convention, not an accident). Bold Fraktur supplies the first; Zalgo Wild or Drip supply the second. Combine them for a fast preview of that combined effect.
Iron Runes for a heavier, more angular alternative
Iron Runes swaps in an angular, runic-inspired Unicode alphabet instead of gothic lettering, for bands or usernames that want something sharper and less traditional than blackletter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this based on a specific metal band's logo?
+
No, it's a general sharp/distorted look built from gothic lettering and glitch marks, not a reproduction of any specific band's actual logo design.
What are Iron Runes?
+
An angular lookalike alphabet drawing on runic-style Unicode characters — reads as heavier and more metal-specific than standard gothic lettering.
Good for an actual band logo, or just a preview?
+
Treat it as a fast preview of lettering direction — a real band logo benefits from a designer who can hand-adjust spacing, sharpness, and readability for print and merch.
Does this work for a black metal vs. death metal distinction?
+
The generator doesn't distinguish subgenres specifically — Iron Runes leans sharper and more angular, while Bold Fraktur with Drip leans more classically gothic; try both against your band name.
