So, I was browsing one day through Last.fm, and I find this underground black metal act called Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult, and I coulnd't help but to wonder how on EARTH do you come up with something so lame and wannabe cvlt. I mean seriously... I don't really care if their music is good (and since I hate black metal, for me probably not).

So, got any similar ones to share? Remember, we're talking about lame, stupid names, not how good or bad their music is.

X Japan or Japan X or whatever their name is

Sabaton is quite lame when you know what it is

Steel Attack....you can smell the cheezyness

every other core band got a lame name that sometimes takes forever to read

Fairyland.....gay gay gay...gay

In my opinion, I don't think core band names are all that bad...some of them are just downright funny...like I Wrestled A Bear Once, Arsonists Get All The Girls...The Number 12 Looks Like You is an awful name though...

They're atmospheric, electronic deathcore with heavy grind core influences.

They frequently change styles within songs but from what I heard it sounded mostly hardcore/metalcore. I always get them confused with another lame band name: Bear vs. Shark. So they also lose points for name originality.

It's probably been mentioned already, but "Satans Almighty Penis" is an outstandingly awful black metal band name.

HAHAHA!

I find it humorous and self-parodying

Better than 'kvlt tr00 necro black cult' anyway.

Judging by the name, they probably don't take themselves or their music very seriously.

I'd say that's a good thing for a black metal band. BTW, I didn't find them on last fm, which is very weird.

I think metal bands who quote from the bible! "lamb of god" which is actually means the sacrifice of jesus so is it a religious metal band or what!!!!

Yeah, and "satanic" bands like Gorgoroth borrowed their name from The Lord of the Rings. They must be power metal!

Ya but what about Amon Amarth? they got their name from lord of the rings, and they're a fucking awesome band...the name sounds pretty badass too

While i love unexpect, and it suits them perfectly, the name does sound kind of lame.

Way to contradict yourself in two sentences.

No, I don't think they're religious at all.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Five Finger Death Punch. It's a truly awful name. The band itself is pretty crappy as well, but it's the name that really irks me.

And although I like Dream Theater a lot, I have to admit that their name is terrible.
