I accidentally found the answer to this question by... listening to Judas Priest. Yep.

Here's a picture of Judas Priest "Painkiller" album cover:

You can see the exact same "double fork" imagery, which reminded me of this question I read months ago (it's actually a common logo they use, not just on that album cover).

It turns out a company named Amity did produce Judas Priest BMX frames. Here's that frame courtesy of VitalBMX:

We can see part of the logo on the second picture (I haven't found a picture of that frame from the front):

This is further confirmed by that integrated seat post clamp hole, that we see on the question's full view of the bike. It's not that common of a setup, so this + the partial view of the logo above means it's pretty much certain that...

The frame is an Amity Judas Priest Frame

The second bike in the original post is a "Hangover" by "Total BMX" this model is the H2

enter image description here The head tube on the bike does not have the stamped logo in the first image.

There have been several versions of the Hangover - currently on H4. The headtube always has a sticker.

I'm still looking for the stamped logo
EDIT: As Fatalize said it is an Amity Bike Co Judas Priest frame.
Amity Bike Co went out of business in 2013. Using the wayback machine to access their old site none of the pictures will load but there is a text description:

full cnc head tube with judas priest cnc logo

Here is the bike in the wild. It's listed as a 2014 Amity Priest Custom BMX.

The cnc logo must have been peculiar to the 2013 model because the 2012 model has a different logo.

The logo is known as the "Judas Priest cross". It first appeared on the cover of the "Sad Wings of Destiny" album in 1976. Later the symbol replaced the letter "T" in their logo on the cover of the "Angel of Retribution" album in 2005.
