Stupid/Funny/Silly Names Of Metal Songs,Albums, Bands...

[NocturnalNemesis]

Ever heard the name of a metal song, band, or album that made you feel like throwing up, rolling your eyes, or laughing out loud?

I'm sure there are many candidates out there amongst the various metal sub-genres, but here are a few I can think of off-hand:

Dragonforce album: Ultra Beatdown Quite possibly the worst name ever given to a Power Metal album. They don't fare much better with song names either: Operation Ground and Pound, Body Breakdown, Heartbreak Armageddon, Revolution Deathsquad.

Bands named Satanic Warmaster, Lucifer's Friend, Goatwhore, etc. Super cheesy with extra cheese.

The new Dimmu Borgir album named "Abrahadabra" is definitely a good contender here too.

I also think bands with really short, simple, uncreative and unambiguous (a bit of creative mystique always goes down well in artistic pursuit) names, such as Death for example, either don't have the same command of words as they do their instruments, or were intoxicated in some way when they chose such a name.

Although I am a huge fan of Fairyland, even I gotta admit that they could have definitely chosen a better name for their band.

These are just a few, I'm sure there's plenty more out there, post your own candidates...

It's actually true:

"Lyrical Themes: Anti-Christian, War, Terrorism, Goat Worship ,Death"

Did they forget to throw Satanism in there? You can't worship goats without being Satanist, right? And judging by the name of the band, their "goat worship" is very "hands on".

I'm pretty sure Bal-Sagoth is supposed to be a joke. I remember my friend playing shit from the album The Power Cosmic on a regular basis just for the lulz. 1/4 to 1/2 of every song is an epic story telling intro

People worship all kinds of things around the world. Cows, statues, non-existent gods etc. Even if the band was serious about it, I don't see how goats or even unicorns would any more ridiculous.

99.9% of "Satanic" metal bands have nothing to do with Satanism anyways.

 

[Personified Hatred]

I was forgetting:

Paracoccidioidomicosisproctitissarcomucosis (band)

Ridiculous, unpronounceable and impossible to remember.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Stupid song title: "Gloves of Metal" by Manowar
Stupid album title: Humanure by Cattle Decapitation
Stupid band name: Sunn 0))) (Seriously, wtf is that?)

Slayer
Megadeth
Mayhem
Darkthrone
Dark Angel
Dragonforce
Morbid Angel

metal in its essence is cheesy and laughable but is ultimately why its so much fun to listen to.

I love the way you just tried to put a PC spin on the worshipping of goats there. While I do know that rural villagers in places like India and some such do worship animals such as cows and elephants etc as part of their religion, I'm pretty sure there's no religion that includes the worship of goats, let alone having sex with goats (*checks dictionary for meaning of the word of "fornicator"*), unless the guy in this one-man band is a big-time Satan fanboi, and thinks that violating goats (or *wink* *wink* "worshipping") makes him feel closer to the pointy-horned fork-tailed one. Like you said, he might not even be serious, but I doubt whether anyone else would be laughing except him, unless people were laughing AT him. Intentionally or not, it's a pretty lame joke.

I just think it's unfair to those poor goats. Why is ok to worship a cow but a joke if you worship a goat.

Many people even prefer goat's milk to cow's milk.
