Hi metalstormers,

The title is clear. Please remember and reply with the weirdest or funniest metal band names that you have come accross during your life in the scene.
It is in fact almost impossible to name a metal band nowadays that is not being used already, above all, if you want to give it a metalrelated name involving words like Hell, Warrior, Doom, Death, Thrash, Black, Red, Heavy, Pink...SORRY slip of the tongue, Steel, Fire and the like.
Last time I was in a band we were thinking in having the most strange name as possible so as to attract attention and, at the same time, not to be sued by another band with already that name. We thought about choosing: "Where is Bin Laden?" and translated from Spanish: 600 mb of Porno or Anita's great belches -Anita is a friend of mine with body of a model, face of an angel, not metalhead but a bit posh... and that belches like a drunk truckdriver-. Whenever she belches, everybody looks at me or another boy in the group.

The weirdest names I have heard from established bands are "Cadáveres de Tortugas" that means "Turtle corpses" that it is really twisted and weird and the best one: "Bodies in the gears of the apparatus" Fuck, that's a name. Complex and re-twisted.

I remember as well a discussion with a friend of mine that liked that musical genre that was called "Noise" 10 years ago. There were very strange band names in that label. Once he was naming some of them and we were laughing, then he said something that I did not understood. I said: what? Vaginal stone? -In Spanish: piedra vaginal.
He said: NO, weird, you are twisted. That name makes nonsense. PERA, Pera vaginal! -IN English: Vaginal pear. The real name was even more strange that the one I understood.

Well. Please tell me the weirdest names you have come accross during your life and we will laugh or even fear the twisted minds of their members.
S.O.D. Stormtroopers of Death is one to fear.

Bye.

You can always come up with new names for metal bands because I think the old ones, if they didn't already exist, would probably be considered kind of lame now?

Metallica - how shitty of a name is that, actually? No one would take a band seriously with that name now, assuming it wasn't already a band, obviously.

Mors Principium Est is probably the most unfortunately named band just because hardly anyone can spell or pronounce it.

^They could have gone with 'A Fresh Fetus', but instead chose 'His First Fresh Fetus'. There are more to come, apparently.

Yeah, alliteration.

Hardly anyone from Germanic languages like anglosaxon. For us latins it is a bit more easy. But we can't pronounce words good like "Schrink" for instance hehe. Cheers.

Tower of Wankers.

Not only is it a really terrible name, but it's a project of the members of Slugdge. Bad name aside they still had killer songwriting chops even back then and you can really hear the Slugdge in it.

I just realized Satan's Almighty Penis was never mentioned. It's a pretty classic weird name imo.
Also the band is unexpectedly good. Somewhat like a lo-fier version of Chaos Moon

Bandleader must have fallen asleep behind his laptop and fell with his head on the keyboard... When he woke up he must have thought "What a great name!" we'll use that for our band...

or

their original intention was to not become a well known band so they went for a name nobody would remember.

From Japan, I saw them in Sydney about 15 years ago. I feel like they didn't quite get the translation right

It's a Belarusian brutal death metal band.

Their song titles are basically short stories as well.

So they basically put all the lyrics of the song in their song titles?

I have no clue, I was hoping it was super ironic and they were an instrumental band.

That would be quite unexpected and completely hilarious tbh.
