Asgaroth

[Theredintheskyisours]

How did the band come up with this name? What does Asgaroth mean?

Can't remember exactly how the name was born, but I know that it is meaningless. Some people assumed it was kinda ancient god, some others sort of celtic legend or something, but Daniel (not me, the Asgaroth bassist and founder) simply came up with the name because of a sudden... let's say... inspiration and he liked the name. I'm sure Chris can give us further details, though.

See? Just what I said. Meaningful inspiration, that is.

breeeeeuuuuuuuuurghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

XDDDDDDDDD

i think that explains it all...when bandmembers just have to say breeeeeuuuuuuuuurghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh about it, then it's that the reason wasn't that meaningful

now, I don't know if it was a fashion or it actually approached to something but I've heard different bands/projects such as asgard, astaroth, algalord and blah blah breeeeeuuuuuuuuurghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

hope that doesn't sound as rant as it entirely sounds to me

I wanted to change names to THE THROATWOBBLING MANGROVES, but dani just didn't. He just didn't want to waste the extensive promo achieved by "songs of war", er.... that is 15 tapes sent to fanzines.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreurgh

Maybe the name Asgaroth is derived from the Norse name Asgard? Asgard was the mythical home of the Norse gods. Many black metal bands get their inspiration from the viking era.

 

[FatherVic]

it's probably...either that or it comes from "breeeeeuuuuuuuuurghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhh" which was a dumb and deaf god in the muppets mythology

Another question I have to ask:


What is up with all these -oth- names like:

Astaroth (Different band from Asgaroth)
Gorgoroth
David Lee Roth
Asgaroth
Gernoth
and a bunch of other bands that end in "oth"

How come there so many of 'em!?

 

[FatherVic]

uhmmm comming from you i don't know if it's a joke or not...

anyway...asgaroth/astaroth it's explained above...
gorgoroth comes from Tolkien's Silmarillion
David Lee Roth comes after a Swedish god of Pickled Onions, and also it might be his name...
Gernoth is probably something that while soundingh posh, it also gives the heavy feeling to the weak minded

 

[Theredintheskyisours]

It was no joke. Well not intended to be a joke anyways. But thanks for clearing that up for me. I think I'll go to you for all the music questions from now on, because of your vast knowledge of the music industry (Or band name knowing stuff.)!
