Joel Violette has stated that the name "Thrawsunblat" was David Gold's idea. When asked about the meaning of the name in an interview in 2013, Violette quoted Gold's explanation: "look at it this way— when Canadians listen to Northern European metal, anything we write and play will be a bastardized version of European metal. And at the same time, Thrawsunblat, is like one of us, in a bastardized version of a European language, saying the phrase "Thrash and blast". Like a great big metal dude going "Jaaa! Thraws und Blat! Ha ha ha!" Another selling point was that it has the words "raw", "sun", and almost "blast" in it. So it sort of means bastardized European metal, from Canada". It was previously stated (jokingly) on the offical Facebook page, that Thrawsunblat is an anagram of "narwhal butts". 2014 logo by Adam Gillis.
