Possible names for my magazine

Metalread: Very obvious title, tells you the genre the magazine will be about and obviously it has parts to read. It's quite a boring title and could be quite long to fit onto the cover of the magazine. It doesn't sound like something that you would hear people talking about

Metalnews: Another title with the world 'Metal' in to tell the reader of the prominent genre in the magazine. 'News' is quite a boring word and would not attract the kind of audience i'd like to attract. Another fairly long title to fit onto a cover. Could look better and more interesting in capital letters?

Thrasha: Not sure what this title means, it makes the reader unsure of what the magazine is about but it's a totally obscure word just like 'Kerrang'. Thrashaa sounds like the metal band Thrasher so you might have a vague idea. I think the added exclamation mark makes it more interesting.

Chanda: Similar to the 'Thrasha' concept, completely made up word and does not make the reader aware of the genres. However, on the cover i would have lots of pictures and colour.

X: this is my favourite magazine title so far, it's simple, yet very striking. I'd have it in a very bold font and make it the main feature of the front cover. It's easy for the reader to read and they can remember it. Sick times.
