BlöödHag were a death metal band from the United States. The group started off performing songs about science fiction authors, but later spread out into songs about authors from all walks of literature. They consider themselves pioneers of the form "edu-core". BlöödHag is noted for throwing books at their audience as a way of directly promoting literature (the faster you go deaf, the more time you have to read). The name BlöödHag parodies the use of the heavy metal umlaut.
