The Create-an-Album Game

[Vimana]

Okay, so I thought this game was really fun, and I'd rather it not be shoved in the void of Thread Games. Grant's OP explains it.

I just saw this on another forum, and thought it was an awesome idea. I'm bending the rules a bit from the original to make it better, though.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1:
Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
Pick one of the first three random articles you get for the name of your band.

Step 2:
Go to http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
Pick a short phrase (i.e. 4-5 words) from the very last quotation on this page for the name of your album.

Step 3:
Go to http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
One of the first three pictures, no matter what they are, will be your album cover.

Step 4:
Use Photoshop/Paint/etc. to put the cover together, and post it in this thread.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are the first two that I've done:

And, something Andy added in the original thread to make it more interesting. Put the name underneath (in case the font is hard to read) and the genre of music.

Here's an example.

Cimidae - Pains of Power
Shoegaze/Trance/Melodic Black Metal mix

 

[Addo_Of_Nex]

Mentalist- As We Think, So We Become
-Post-blackcore

SplendrilliA JaculA- Creation of a Need

Fuck, these images are big and I can't seem to re-size them in a accordance with the forum display. Damn it to Hell.

I agree, suitable, yet funny title. Very angsty

A friend and I are actually working on a fake metal spoof band concept to make Dethklok look legit by comparison. Once we get some of our designs and stuff down in ink I will be sure to post.
