Death metal and doom metal are already goofy enough as names, and death/doom is actually kind of embarrassing. But "stench death/doom" crosses the line into being just a groan-inducing, random assortment of words that have no literal association with the actual music. Awesome genre though.

And if you want to look it up then don't bother. I Googled it and got like two passing references to it. I think most people just go with death/doom and leave it at that. I don't even think last.fm has a tag for it.






Production wise it kind of has that crust punk sound.
