As luke has said, there's a line between hair metal and Brewing, and I would throw rugby league in too, so some of it is innocent. Magic rock probsbly OK. That's a Huddersfield one.
But as tea and slothrop said, blackened sun is not even trying to hide. And I'd say same to black iris. Just a bit odd to blacken something that is traditionally depicted as colourful/bright? What's that about?
The blackening, to me, is about sharpening. Equally it could be about saving money on printing, who knows. But paired with some of the titles, some of it is definitely fishy. Or just people living in their own worlds, who knows.
