Tom, that's a great site. Lot of useful fonts, including some I haven't seen since Windows 98 days. I bookmarked it.
Donna, that "Floydian" isn't a bad font. Watch out, though--you'll probably need to make the letters larger anywhere you use it in order to be legible. Couldn't use it on your small print at all (in fact, you should probably keep your small print as simple--and legible--as possible).
You should (my opinion, now--but I did use to do this for a living) also watch out for being too imitative. You don't want the use of that font to recall Pink Floyd, in other words, because you're risking they'll expect your *music* to be like Pink Floyd. (And I don't know if it will. You should ask someone who listens to more Floyd.) You want this to be *you*, not anybody else.
I was glad you didn't use one of the *real* blood-drippy fonts; there are some out there--Creeper, Crypt, et al.--that are very well-designed, but also very cliche. It is better (my opinion) to be understated, to make people feel uncomfortable but not quite be sure why. They will remember your work better. The title font you were using does do that okay. There are obviously others that'll do it, too.
Lots of luck.
Joe
