So, got any similar ones to share? Remember, we're talking about lame, stupid names, not how good or bad their music is.

Quote: Hm, never really thought of it that way. Still, I feel it's a weaker name than Majesty, which was what they were previously known as.

Written by RobotPolarBear on 27.06.2010 at 19:45 I think Dream Theater sounds much more majestic than Majesty... Ironically. XD

Written by RobotPolarBear on 27.06.2010 at 19:26 Oh yeah, I remember once linking some poser "Angel of Death" and he labeled it "generic". In return, he linked me to some awful 5FDP song and left shortly after. I laughed so hard.

Destroyer 666 I know there are more obnoxious names for bands out there, but I can't think of another band where the gulf between the awful band name and the quality of the music is larger.

Written by Inlé on 29.06.2010 at 15:27 I almost forgot to mention it. Yeah, really bad name, but good band. I actually wonder if that name was meant to poke fun at black metal bands who take themselves too seriously or they were just in a certain state of mind at the time.

It's quite possible that the name itself is stealth parody.

Burzum, anal thunder, lääz rockit, power quest, Killshit engage, five finger death punch, and last but definetly not least: parkway drive.

Written by Black_Sheep on 29.06.2010 at 17:17 Burzum isn't a bad name. It's just a foreign word. If you were to call Burzum bad, then you might as well add Sepultura too (Portuguese word). Although, in Bulgarian, it's a funny name, as "burzum" is the phonetic equivalent of a Bulgarian word, meaning "hurrying" in first person.

Written by Black_Sheep on 30.06.2010 at 16:56 May I ask why? Is it because Varg Vikernes craves attention, the music or both?

Written by vezzy on 30.06.2010 at 17:11 Both, he's music is just horrible. Especially "Filosofem" sounds like a 4-year old kid playing around with his first casio-keyboard (no offense anyone). And he is famous only because of the crimes he has done, the music alone would get him nowhere, and i hate how many young people see him as an idol and a great person. He's just an idiot. Sorry. And sorry for the offtopic.

Written by Black_Sheep on 30.06.2010 at 17:24 You're right about one thing though. If it weren't for all the publicity Varg got for murdering Euronymous and burning churches, Burzum wouldn't be anywhere near as known as it is now. But back on topic, I find Success Will Write Apocalypse Across the Sky a bad name. Nonsensical and long. Like some powerviolence band, lol.

NSBM (and black metal in general) is going to take the cake here, with bands like: Aryan Terrorism Gestapo 666 Enbilulugugal Satanic Warmaster and so on...

Arts & Crafts- Found this one while random banding on Metal-Archives. Sounds like something I'd do at summer camp, not headbang to. Edge Of A Circle - Ditto the random banding Limp Bizkit- Disgusting band

Quote: Emo as in "pop-punk/alt-rock akin to My Chemical Romance" or emo as in "hardcore punk akin to Rites of Spring"? I'm guessing the former, but whatever. I apologise for nitpicking.
