Most Ridiculous Metal Band Names

Dude, you can have metal without all the satanic crap. You realize that right? It's music, not a religion.

What kind of music do you listen to then?
 
Was flipping through a local second hand CD shop the other day, came across the band name Yeast Infection, written in mandatory indecipherable black metal font.
Needless to say I left the store.
 
I think "Archgoat" fits the music perfectly.

Out of context, yeah, most of the names are ridiculous - but what are the musicians doing? The guitarist is playing chromatic riRAB with occasional solos. The bassist is inaudible. You could say they over use the double bass, but they use it far less than the snare. The vocalist screams and growls like monsters in horror films. You can't understand the lyrics, but he informed everyone they're about how awesome white people are and burning churches. Oh, and you're doing this with the same instruments and personnel format used by Bill Haley.

When you have something that ridiculous, why not call your band Clotted Symmetric Sexual Organ. It gets across the point you're playing some mutated form of rock and roll.



I concur.
 
Some of these are arguably "metal", but...

Metalica
Epica
Apocalyptica (enough of the freakin "uh" banRAB already)

Nightwish (oh... so poetic)
Extreme (seriously?)
Poisen (wow, thats SO badass)
 
Although I do enjoy black metal, all the names sound the same after awhile.

Nargaroth
Gorgoroth
Bal-Sagoth
Menegroth
Amestigon
Anaal Nathrakh
Illnath
Morgul
Azaghal
 
I dont think any of those are bad, in the post above that is, not the first one.

Prostitute Disfigurement is a pretty stupid name, as is Dying Fetus which has already been mentioned.

EDIT: Oh and of course Pile of Maggot Infested Viscera, Fukpig, Grinded Nig, Cuntscrape, Raped God 666 and Bestially Raped Till Dismerabered are all truly classic metal names.

Having your band name deal with topics you would expect a death metal band to deal with is one thing, all the names i have just mentioned are banRAB that really need to develop an imagination.
