Hi metalstormers,

The title is clear. Please remember and reply with the weirdest or funniest metal band names that you have come accross during your life in the scene.
It is in fact almost impossible to name a metal band nowadays that is not being used already, above all, if you want to give it a metalrelated name involving words like Hell, Warrior, Doom, Death, Thrash, Black, Red, Heavy, Pink...SORRY slip of the tongue, Steel, Fire and the like.
Last time I was in a band we were thinking in having the most strange name as possible so as to attract attention and, at the same time, not to be sued by another band with already that name. We thought about choosing: "Where is Bin Laden?" and translated from Spanish: 600 mb of Porno or Anita's great belches -Anita is a friend of mine with body of a model, face of an angel, not metalhead but a bit posh... and that belches like a drunk truckdriver-. Whenever she belches, everybody looks at me or another boy in the group.

The weirdest names I have heard from established bands are "Cadáveres de Tortugas" that means "Turtle corpses" that it is really twisted and weird and the best one: "Bodies in the gears of the apparatus" Fuck, that's a name. Complex and re-twisted.

I remember as well a discussion with a friend of mine that liked that musical genre that was called "Noise" 10 years ago. There were very strange band names in that label. Once he was naming some of them and we were laughing, then he said something that I did not understood. I said: what? Vaginal stone? -In Spanish: piedra vaginal.
He said: NO, weird, you are twisted. That name makes nonsense. PERA, Pera vaginal! -IN English: Vaginal pear. The real name was even more strange that the one I understood.

Well. Please tell me the weirdest names you have come accross during your life and we will laugh or even fear the twisted minds of their members.
S.O.D. Stormtroopers of Death is one to fear.

Bye.

IronAngel Posts: 4872	Permalink 17.01.2013 - 09:18 IronAngel Posts: 4872 Darkthrone's logo is a picture too, but the band still is known as Darkthrone rather than "mold." I know it's just Sun, but the name doesn't imply that. It's a gimmick you need to find out from an external source. The only logical way to pronounce it would be "Sun-Oh Close Bracket Close Bracket Close Bracket." (Or Paranthesis, if you will.) Saying "Sun" is no more obvious than saying "Sun-Oh", both are clearly not what the written form says. I don't mind the name myself, but it does seem part of the whole crafted show that is Sunn O))). Their marketing prowess exceeds their musical merit. There's a band called !!! too, but it's not obvious how to say it out loud. I guess you could just look really shocked and hope people realize you're communicating the band name rather than having a seizure. Loading...
!J.O.O.E.! Account deleted	Permalink 17.01.2013 - 11:25 !J.O.O.E.! Account deleted I don't really regard Darkthrone as pertinent comparison, nor any other illegible band logos, as it's a stylising of a word, rather than a clear word followed by an obscure symbol. Sunn, from the logo, is fairly apparent that there is clear differentiation between the typefont of the name and what follows it. If we were to interpret and vocalise the entire logo they would probably be called "Sunn Sun." The actual logo doesn't really imply parentheses to my eyes. !!! indeed requires further investigation, though calling them Exclamation Mark (repeateded thrice) is precisely what is written on the actual logo, not just the typed out version. (even if is it supposedly Click Click Click). It's when you get to Witch House bands that things get difficult. [EDIT] "Chk Chk Chk" rather. Beg your pardon Loading...
