As far as the real bands go, I only picked names with which I was totally unfamiliar so, just out of curiosity, if you are already familiar with any of these bands, please indicate that.
1. Asparagus Urine
2. Asphyx
3. Autopsy 666
4. Beartooth
5. Blind Guardian
6. Deviant Septum
7. Morgoth
8. Nocturnal Emission
9. Primordial
10. Project Armageddon
11. Satan’s Request
12. Venom Inc.
OK — I’ll bite —
Fake:
Asparagus Urine — a good album title would be “Green”
Beartooth — “Claw”
Deviant Septum — “Blowback”
Project Armageddon — “Time”
i’ll let a few more try before I rate your response.

BTW, I hope to god that Beartooth and Blind Guardian are real names. They are so distinctively bad that some group of musicians needs to have practiced to make them real.
Not too many players but maybe if I give some hints…
funoka is correct on two of the fake names.
Mr Mod, Beartooth and Blind Guardian are real names.
I will now out myself as having dated a drummer in a metal band called…Tyrant Rage!
Given that name, any of those could be real. Al, I admire your metal moniker talents.
I really, really, really want Asparagus Urine to be a real band, even if it’s not a metal band.

patrock is declared the winner, nailing the 5 fake bands!
Honorable mention to cdm who named the 5 fakes but threw in a real one.
Both patrock and cdm now have to confess to (1) cheating or (2) knowing way too much about heavy metal…
I was too lazy to cheat and I don’t like heavy metal. That was just (good?) instincts on my part.
I saw Slayer before Kerry King went bald, I saw Stryper in a church and I’ve been on stage with Rob Halford …I’m kind of METAL!!
and though I was familiar with the real bands on the list, a couple were a guess.
I didn’t cheat but I really wanted to check my answers after I sent it …but I waited …yay me!
Also to add to it, these bands do exist.
Autopsy
Destroyer 666
Nocturnal
Deviant
Satan
I think I created Autopsy 666 from those first two.
A heavy metal super-group name!
I just saw a heavy metal band listed on dimeadozen named Goatwhore.
I don’t know about you but I would have guessed that was a made-up name.
