Jón Aldará's not big enough [yet] to make the list, but he should be there.

I've been meaning to check his previous work out, now that he's with Barren Earth, but keep on forgetting.
Thanks for reminding me!

That one has rather more character than the original!

 

[papajohnny]

Yeah, that page is amazing.
I find this one to be particularly interesting:

I suppose everybody knows the album, but an NSFW tag, I guess?

I loved that film as a kid.

I'm surprised "Witch" isn't among those, given that every second doom/stoner band is a witch of some sort.

Witch only has 105 entries.

Amorph* has 3. Barren (6) Earth (103).

Harder database search -- all the bands that stole a name straight out of Tolkien. Gotta be at least 50 of them.

Weird, I thought there were more witches out there.





Also, that pic is so amazing. I'm literally laughing out loud, which I rarely do with internetz stuff.

Embarassing!

 

[papajohnny]

But really, Anal Penetration is a awfully bad name for a grindcore/death metal band. Too generic, too regular.

I'd recommend Rectal Smegma.

Two of the jokes on the situation in Ukraine, that I really liked

1. Somebody told Hitler in Hell that Russia wants to invade Ukraine and Germany protested. First Hitler burst into tears and then he stared looking for a pistol to shoot himself again.

2. In response to Russian invasion, the United States sent an aircraft super-carrier USS George H.W. Bush plus seventeen other ships and three submarines toward the Black Sea.
In response to Putin's Mar. 4 statements, the Internet said the US denied sending their ships and submarines suggesting the vessels and arms belonged to Maidan's self-defense.

3. Putin is nominated for a Nobel peace prize.
But this is not a joke.

4. Receptionist: "Name?"
Hotel guest: "Sergei Ivanov."
"Nationality?"
"Russian."
"Occupation?"
"No, just a holiday trip."
