Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye

I need your help

Recommended Posts

also: if you decide to be an arty band for whatever reason, i recommend picking some imagery from any bob dylan song at random, & it'll sound like a band name. visions of johanna, sheet metal memory, fifteen jugglers/five believers, flesh colored christs...it's all good.

Well, this band is totally my brother's concept, his vision. He is simply looking for a simple metal band name. I just play drums and sing like only I can. It's only looking to be a straight up hard ass metal style, nothing really arty about it.

Since metal is usually about evil imagery you could go the ironic title route and use something like.

 

Gods Will

Oedipus and the Motherfuckers is the funniest thing I've read all summer. Holy shit. I'm stealing that.

 

band names I've used, or am toying with..

 

Weight Upon Open Eyes

Insides Out

Inebriated

Scabby Asscheek

Carnival Vomit

Completely Awful

Tendrils

 

One I like in particular that I've made up is "Absolved by his Own Blood" which is the term used when Soviet convicts were freed after being injured in the war against the Nazis.

*Rant Mode*

 

You know what STOP creating 193984234 "brands" of metal

 

JUST CALL EITHER

 

METAL OR HARDCORE

 

No more fucking "Grindcore" "Speed" "Trashcore" "Screamcore" or any of that shit...It's stupid to create a million different layers of classifications for the genre.

 

*Rant mode off*

It's quite necessary. Otherwise, you're saying that Suffocation and..I don't know...let's say Blind Guardian are the same genre. They sound completely fuckin' different, yet they're both technically "metal bands."

 

Hell, let's just simplify it all into "rock music," therefore you don't have to get all flustered by making obvious classifications between bands.

 

Some degree of nomenclature and musical taxonomy is definitely required. As far as those little tiny sub-niches, most of them are just the band describing themselves, not a pre-existing genre of "Dark Melodic Speedcore," which just happens to describe a band.

 

Besides, if you're going to gripe about too many sub-genres, at least start with Jazz.

Vertical Smile (it's a euphemism for the vagina)

Go the Strong Bad route - take an already-cool word then spell it wrong. Like, I dunno, "Raylegunn" or something.

How about No Cover? You can put up posters around saying No Cover at such and such bar or club and people will be expecting to get in for free. I might be the only one but I think it's a great idea.

Needs More Cowbell

Wasted Space

2000mg of Taurine

Potent Liver Cleaning Herb

 

 

Yeah, I'm out of ideas.

We have a winner.

 

 

I'd still go with Troll Logic or Asshole Penguins...but you can't beat the cowbell.

I'm extremely partial to "Absolved By His Own Blood"...could carry a Christian conotation, could have some sort of S&M conotation, could mean a few different things.

 

But "Needs More Cowbell"...that's just art.

And NMC is a passable acronym.
