User:DMO Band/Sandbox

DMO is a self proclaimed “classic rock death metal cover band” from Albuquerque, New Mexico, although its members hail from all corners of the US. The band has made a name for itself by playing extreme-metal versions of popular classic rock songs, although they have released several original pieces including “We Are DMO!” and “Mr. Clairvoyant and the Adventures of Coppy Chomms” The members of DMO use innovative instrumentation to create their aggressive sound, notably using both six and seven-string guitars and using a synthesizer for drum sounds.

The band notoriously refuses to acknowledge a single meaning for the acronym “DMO,” instead supplying a different explanation every time the question is posed. Past names supplied by the band include “Dead Man’s Oath,” “Dirty Motor Oil,” “Dumb Man’s Opinion,” “Death Metal Orchestra,” and the fan favorite “Dying Man’s Obituary.”

Currently in contract dispute over the release of their first album, which was pulled from shelves after causing numerous riots in record stores, DMO have issued the following statement:

"It is unacceptable that the label would pull our album from stores after only three riot-related fatalities. If our album is good enough for the fans to die for, our label should have the testicular fortitude to continue selling it."

As of now, PROST has not re-released the album pending the result of a Supreme Court decision on the case.
