Exactly the reaction they're [were] looking for.

And they indeed got it hahaa

"Acula" means "shark" in Russian, though I'm not sure that makes it less lame. Also I think it was the title of a movie Ed Wood planned with Lugosi.

.....



Really, I just..... I don't even..... How? No, that isn't the question..... "Why?" is the right question. Why?!

You got the wrong thread, you shoulda posted this in the Best Names Thread.

I just don't know anymore, Emp. I just don't know.

As bad as Anal Cunt is, Anal Blast is probably worse imo.

Damn. I have to agree

German humour.

I still don't get the need to write their name in Spanish. Besides, a langostino is a type of shrimp, not a lobster.

I once had a fantasy of starting a one-man blackened grind band with folk influences...called Anal Vind.

\o/

Anyway, back to the topic.
I think Forefather is a lame name, considering how awesome the band is.

Sometimes you can just guess what a band sounds like just from their name- and usually be right. Save yourself the trouble of checking them out.

If I ever came across a band called, for instance, "Torsofuck," "Gore Slut Massacre," "Pig Entrails Rape" or "Splattereah," then I'd probably have a pretty good idea what the band sounded like without wasting my time listening to 'em. (and yeah, at least two of those are real bands and, after listening to them, lets just say my instinct was right!)

What exactly does the "Job for a Cowboy" entail? How much does it pay? And what will you be doing, mucking out stables? (kind of appropriate since their music is, after all, horse shit.)

I originally thought "Bodom" was some dude who fathered a bunch of kids... like a metal Partridge Family or something. Then discovered later it's actually a place, where several children were murdered in the 60's. Name makes more sense if you know the context, and I do actually like the band, but at first I was like, "huh, who'se Bodom?"

Amen to that. They might as well call themselves Cowboy Throwing Shit.

Dorsal Atlantica always seemed an awful band name to me

Makes me think of fish. Large fish.

Jumpin' Jesus

GoatPenis. What in the world would possess someone to name their band THAT?

Easy. They were possessed by goat penises

I was going to say this too, but damn they are killer band.

on top of the stupid name, the album cover is horrible as well

Hahahahahaha is a really silly name, but have kinda sense, because the "Dorsal Meso-Atlántica" (i don't know how say it in english) is one of the most active tectonic plates on the earth and have a lot of earthquakes and other teluric movements. Eartquakes and Tsunamis are very Metal imo hahaha.

Strapping Young Lad is a bad name, but far from the worst, and i think Anal Cunt is awesome, in a no-sense way obviously.

For really bad names, LICH KING is a really stupid one. Maybe because i hate World of Warcraft (and the band too). Jumpin' Jesus is another awful name,and is a shame because the band was good. From my home land come some stupid band names too: Acaro, Costra, Robot The Mimbre, Aura Siniestra... very very bad if you know someting of spanish.

@Kveldulfr: Hey viejo, ya que eres chileno también no se si sabias una banda que se llamaba "PIPEÑO NUCLEAR" ,tocaban Thrash y eran de Santiago. Creo que ese es uno de los peores nombres que jamas he escuchado jajajaja.

Same thing goes for GoatSemen. They should release a split.

And call it "Evil Erections and Satanic Ejaculations"

Not exclusive to Germans, that's hilarious.

Damn, thanks for letting me know what that means! I don't think there is an English meaning for that, all I get is like a dorsal fin on a shark, and it's in the Atlantic ocean.

got a new one for you: Satan's Almighty Penis

Putting Penis in your band name is a horrible idea.

Nobody mentioned Hellyeah yet? http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/He ... eah/150620

Gems like "Alcohaulin' Ass" and "It's On!"

They also have the questionable honor of having the shoddiest cover art.

This thread could be next level shit if it were called "Worst Song Titles".

Doing Nuns in the Butt for Satan.

Shouldn't this be in the Best Band Names thread?

Leaves' Eyes.

Someone left their eyes? No. The eyes that belong to the leaves? Yes. Make sense? No.

It's a phonetic trick, she's called Liv and leave is pronounced "liv". Read Liv's Eyes and then Leave's Eyes and see how that goes.

The Cumshots

I don't dislike the name, but I find the band to be really dark and depressive in an weird way. And the name just sounds to much like a joke.

http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/%E3 ... 3540300771
This is pretty awful of a name (and premise I might add)

The title of the third album made me giggle

Haven't listened to it, but there is apparently a band called Ungl’Unl’Rrlh’Chchch. How do you even pronounce that???

Lolita Vomits? That's not a bad name, but people aren't going to take you seriously. Not the kind of band that wants to be taken seriously either I suppose.

But what pisses me off is that they are from NYC and they use Japanese characters in their name to be kvlt. They should just use it in the logo and that's it.

I've seen some bands/black metal projects which were entered in the Archives in Arab letters. I highly suspect they are NOT from the Middle East.

As much as I can appreciate wanting to pronounce things properly, I'm 100% for localised pronunciation of foreign words, especially when no one is going to understand you otherwise. It comes off as pretentious when you're the only person saying "torkeh" in a room full of people saying "tahkeh".

There's also the bonus that localised pronunciations can be really funny.

Assuck. If you see that name for the first time, knowing nothing about the band, you might assume they are some kind of godawful cemetary-rapist barnyard animal vocalized porno-noise-grind band. And the thing is, theyre not. I admit I'm not the biggest grindcore fan but even I will admit this band was really good- both musically and lyrically.

I thought I posted this, but apparently I didn't. Whether the name has any meaning in another language is irrevelant in the case when the band name is something as retarded as that in the most universal language in popular music.

Too much work, I'll just continue to mock it instead.
