Pig Destroyer to Beef Conspiracy: the most ridiculous names in metal
Don't tell your mum you listen to these
by Edward Keeble | Photos by Press/Wenn/Commons
Metal is amazing, we all love metal. However it can sometimes be a scene that turns inward and ends up becoming a parody of itself, and boasts some of the most ridiculously named bands on the planet. Like Pig Destroyer, for instance, or Beef Conspiracy.
Metal is always so extreme, it has conventions but within those conventions it's all about pushing it as hard as you can. So you take something that sounds bad like say, "dying" and then add something religous like "nuns" and then add something offensive like nazis. Boom - you have Dying Nazi Nuns, now go form a thrash metal band...
