First attempt....

is this logo too busy? and does it fit a Stoner Rock band?

My first impression is that it's too hard to read. The "Q" looks like an "O" because of the runs.

Is that supposed to say Darqsyde? If so, it's a bit too busy to tell right off.

The Q and the last E are hard to read. Also the red stuff may look cool onscreen, but if your logo is ever printed in a newspaper, weekly rag, etc. it will be an unreadable blob. So I recommend making one version for your website and a more stripped down, high contrast, simpler version for newsprint.

Too hard to read. I first thought it said "Darosyde".

Clean up the letters as they are hard on the ol` eyes. However, I`d actually consider adding a background with more of the red/black thing going on.

Way too busy...

If it's ever printed smaller, it becomes a blob.

If it's ever printed in black and white, it becomes a blob.

Look at classic band logos, even embellished ones like Metallica's. Their name is readable no matter what. This is something to strive for.

Too hard to read. I couldn't figure out what it said until Spector_Ray told us.
