Creating a masthead

Masthead ideas:
Rush, Rage, Riot, Mosh, R, Metal, Metann (Russian spelling), Lord, Overload, Over lord, Metall (German), Crank, Thrash, Amp, Kage.

The masthead ideas I like the most are: Rage, Mosh and Overload.
I like the name Rage as it exemplifies the anger and feeling behind Heavy Metal music, although I do not want to present Metal in a negative fashion as the feeling of Rage could be considered a negative entity.
Mosh is my favorite out of the three ideas. Moshing is an activity that occurs at every Metal concert, FACT, therefore it is something people will recognize and understand. The masthead 'Mosh' will make it clear to readers that the genre of the magazine is Metal.
I believe that Overload is also an appropriate name for my magazine, as I wish to include a vast amount of information on the Metal genre and therefore provide an 'overload' of info. However, I think Mosh would be a more appropriate name due to it's involvement in Metal Music concerts, whereas Overload is in no way associated with music itself.
