I didn't say it was the worst band name, I didn't say J3ff bought, I just said the name is shitty and why would you buy anything from this shitty named band. THAT"S IT.

"dew scent" aaahahaha

Worse name - Doo Rag. Saw them open for JSBX in the mid-90s, and they were so ticked by their name that's all they'd say in between songs. "Yeah, Doo Rag."

no the worst band name EVER is Stöner Kebab no contest

Nah, I think that title now belongs to Dog Shredder. I will never buy an album by a band that calls itself Dog Shredder.

I will, however, download it for free from a promo site!

I think the question should be what is the what band you like has the worst name. Takes Dew Scent and the like out of the picture.

what is the what indeed.
What?

Not metal, but as per the Bandcamp thread, Perturbator is a terrible name.

I am listening to the new Kreator album, and yeah, it's awesome.

Listening to the new Testament, myself. Not sure if it's as good as Formation of Damnation, but hot damn, "Rise Up" is a hell of an anthem, one that I expect is going to go over insanely well live – the chorus is, "When I say rise up, you say war!" It's not too hard to guess what they're going to do with that.
― The Devil's Panini Machine (J3ff T.), Friday, 1 June 2012 22:14 (twelve years ago) link
Oh yeah, High On Fire might be the elephant in the room here.

Gay Witch Abortion still makes me shake my head. Not too fond of Made Out Of Babies as a name either.

Has anyone else read about the fucked up situation with Javier from Animals as Leaders and the Boston PD? If true, what a fucking terrible situation.

There's a fantastic band from Portland with the unfortunate name Mongoloid Village. You'll probably never get to hear them because of it. But damn they smoke!

Also, I'm at the Scion Rock fest, on Scion's dime, and about to tour the country in a Scion xB. And I'm about as "diy" and "underground" as it gets.
These guys are offering no-string-attached patronage of the highest caliber. I've investigated it inside and out for years and just can not find a sliver of wrong in this whole affair. The positive influence this brand has had on our "scene" should not be underestimated.
If only other corporations and patrons could conduct themselves with so much class.
I realize this makes me sound "bought" but I sincerely don't think we should trash anyone that's actually doing so much good. I would never accept money from Camel or the US Army. I draw plenty of lines all the time. But Toyota? Who cares. They let me see Morbid Angel for free.

i keep waiting for someone to buy me every day and it never happens. i pray for joe camel in an army tank to show up at my door.
― scott seward, Saturday, 2 June 2012 18:34 (twelve years ago) link
ha Nate cool I ain't gonna argue with you, we'll have to agree to disagree about whether corporate branding's positive influence on a scene that built itself is something worth seeking/supporting

You support the art without support the corp. I've been saying, no one is gonna go out and buy a Scion cuz Martyrdod crushed it...

Listened to the whole Kreator album this morning. I like it a lot, but there's one track on there that feels like a craven attempt to sound as much as possible like Arch Enemy (seriously, the opening guitar riff is a straight rip from one of AE's album-opening instrumentals), and there are a couple of others that sound like A Matter of Life and Death/The Final Frontier Iron Maiden. Interesting little mini-departures for Mille and company.

This new In This Moment… oof.
― Hamster of Legend (J3ff T.), Monday, 4 June 2012 18:46 (twelve years ago) link
Apparently somebody misses nu-metal. I'm not sure who, but they gave In This Moment some bad advice.
― Hamster of Legend (J3ff T.), Monday, 4 June 2012 18:52 (twelve years ago) link
I liked the last In This Moment disc, but I haven't listened to it since the week it came out, so I can probably safely skip the new one.
― 誤訳侮辱, Monday, 4 June 2012 18:55 (twelve years ago) link
Well, on the last disc they indulged their poppy tendencies, which was their best part. This one is all screamy and emo with lots of chunking riffs. Wrong direction to go in.
― Hamster of Legend (J3ff T.), Monday, 4 June 2012 19:16 (twelve years ago) link
Kreator has always had little bits here in there that sound exactly like some other stuff.. I've always heard a Slayer riff or two, or some Vio-Lence parts over the years..
― SeanWayne, Monday, 4 June 2012 19:18 (twelve years ago) link
Looks like someone convinced In This Moment that "Gun Show" is a better song than "Forever". It's a shame what's happened to that band.
― A. Begrand, Monday, 4 June 2012 19:23 (twelve years ago) link
I liked "Gun Show" a lot. But I see what you mean - sounds like they're going back to the sound of their debut.

So I'm finally getting around to this Kill Devil Hill album and its... not bad. I'm not a huge fan of the vocalist and I've never really rated Pantera enough to care about Rex Brown, but Zavon sounds good and I've always loved Appice.

Yeah, that was my reaction. There's no real reason for it to exist, but everyone involved is a pro so it's totally competently done.
― Hamster of Legend (J3ff T.), Monday, 4 June 2012 21:58 (twelve years ago) link
Exactly, its like, this sounds pretty much not bad when I play it, but I can't imagine ever getting the urge to do so again.

This new Barren Earth is knocking me off my chair right now – death-doom with proggy keyboard parts and thrash guitar solos? YES PLEASE.

The new Panopticon album is knocking me out. At first the combination of bluegrass and black metal felt a little too oil and water, but somehow it works the further into it you go.
