The Front of Choice from Bluegrass to Thrash Metal
The Los Angeles bluegrass/folk/gospel group Killing Cassanova posted this logo flyer at Molly Malone's and I was instantly a fan. But wait! My metal buddies know a guy who works over at Tin Horn Flats in Burbank, turns out he played drums for the band Flatline...and they are HUGE proponents of Algerian lettering.
And what's even better, for a modern metal band that has a lot of songs about how mean "you" were to the singer, the music definitely rips off some wieners. Kudos guys! And finally we have the NY band Human who use the font for both their band logo and album title. Whoa now!
I saw their CD for sale when I was in NYC and just recently checked them out online--I guess "prog metal" is a friendly term for mediocre hard rock with nu metal influences. But anyway, Algerian font clearly has a strong foothold in the music world.
