19/20, bit living here and knowing a fair part of the language helps that. And being friends with the guitarist from Sweden's premier goregrind band General Surgery.

12/20 for me. I love metal, but not quite the black/death that most of these bands appear to be!

16.

Didn't recognise any of the names but black metal bands aren't very imaginative.

11/20 by total guesswork!

14/20

I also recognised some some of the IKEA names.

There’s a similar quiz doing the rounds with trying to decipher the death metal band name from their logo. Most are the workings of three year old child’s scribbling combined with attempts at ambiagrams.

14 correct guesses!
I also now know where to find some depressive black funeral doom 'music' if the mood takes me...

I knew some Ikea names, but only the older ones. Rest was guesswork.

13. Bit disappointed in that.
Much like a trip to Ikea.

9/20.
Got 6 on the trot at first, but it went downhill from there.
I hadn’t heard of any of the bands.
Or the ikea items.

I thought this whole thread was going to be about making a choice between the 2.

Just to juice things up a bit, I like to walk round the store the “wrong way”. You can see it messes with peoples minds

14/20, I will admit to recognising one Ikea name, the rest was guess work.

I've got my laptop speakers on quite loud after a Teams call earlier with a colleague that has a dodgy mic, I shit myself when I got the first one wrong and the buzzer went off!

I only got 10. Recognised a table name, cos I own one. Fun quiz 🙂

pro tip: This quiz is even more fun if you say the names out loud in the silliest scandi accent you can manage.

17/20. More likely down to too many hellish Sunday afternoons amongst the Billy bookcases than my headbanging youth.

10/20

You’re the kind of person who likes to rattle off their favorite designers and bands, but can’t name more than one song. Quit buying t-shirts for bands you’ve never heard of and relying on TV designers for your sense of style.

Oof. Bit close to the knuckle.

14/20 for me and I don't mind a trip to IKEA! Mainly for the hotdog at the end as a reward...

You scored 8 out of 20!
Congrats you are...

Maybe pick up a few old Mayhem records this weekend, Your friends at Gatesman.

PSA: You get clips of music played at you. Dont try to sneak this in on the side while in a teams meeting.

12 / 20.

Enjoyed it, reminded me of the classic "is it big data or is it a Pokémon?"
Big data or pokemon
What others are there like this?

11/20 here. I’ve been to Ikea a few times, got some bits and pieces, but not enough to be familiar with the names. My lighting in the lounge is Ikea, an LED upright light with an adjustable swan-neck light for reading, etc, and I’ve got several little table-lights, with two telescoping arms and a black hemisphere on top, originally had 12v halogen bulbs in, which got blisteringly hot, but I found LED replacements which run cold and are a much better light. Had them for many years, one sits on the coffee table, and gives enough light for watching telly.
Friends often go there, as much for the meatballs at the end!

Meatballs, thats all there is to it (get the big portion)

You can self flajjerlate your self self via the main checkout when you have spent £189.75 on nothing of any value.

Think McDonald's with penance...

12 - didn't recognise any as Ikea or Death. Random would be 10/20, and 3 words with Swedish letters (Å, Ä Ö) I guessed were Ikea, so random + Swedish would be 11.5, which I only just beat.

18/20, a mix of metal fandom and ikea boredom.

I like the Koppla range, always makes me think of shouty Klingons

12/20....

GF got 18/20.

There's a strange correlation between a nation's well being/happiness, education, average earning and life expectancy and the popularity of death metal in that nation.

Scandinavian countries always come out on top.

Chicken or egg?
