They're an all girl Japanese grindcore band. Actually good, too.

Pillowmint

I think Double Anal Fist**** is a band

VeggieLover

Wow why do they all have to do with bodily functions? very interesting, I've only ever heard of a few of these.

I used to "listen" to metal and screamo etc.... really i just had it on my ipod to play whenever i was really pissed and when i put it on shuffle it would come on randomly and freak people out, flippen hilarious. Anyway, beyond my poser-like qualities, it really helped in the sense that we were playing a game were you had to come up with band names that started with the last letter of the band mentioned before yours...well seeing as how everyone thought i listened to metal all i had to do was make up random **** names and everyone thought that it was an actual band. I ended up winning.
Thank you randomass names!

Metal as a genre is no more or less ridiculous than many other genres. Band names aside and some dodgy outfits, it unfortunately get's lumped in as a worthless genre by many which pisses me off no end

I wish that so many metal fans wouldn't largely ignore any other genre of music and be such *******s, I think some people get intimidated. They do have some of the worst names out there because some of the bands are just trying to be as offensive as possible. But I hate that people here that someone in a metal band committed murder, for example, and say that the genre is evil. That's not true, there is some amazing talent to be found.

That said, there's Archgoat, Cephilac Carnage, Disembowelment, and Gorguts which are all horrible names...

LOL when i was in school there was these two bands that tried to be metal. But just simply sucked to no end.
First one was called nose bleed
second one was called scabs

I also seen a poster with the band name "skull ****ing the demon"

Was flipping through a local second hand CD shop the other day, came across the band name Yeast Infection, written in mandatory indecipherable black metal font.
Needless to say I left the store.

I think "Archgoat" fits the music perfectly.

Out of context, yeah, most of the names are ridiculous - but what are the musicians doing? The guitarist is playing chromatic riffs with occasional solos. The bassist is inaudible. You could say they over use the double bass, but they use it far less than the snare. The vocalist screams and growls like monsters in horror films. You can't understand the lyrics, but he informed everyone they're about how awesome white people are and burning churches. Oh, and you're doing this with the same instruments and personnel format used by Bill Haley.

When you have something that ridiculous, why not call your band Clotted Symmetric Sexual Organ. It gets across the point you're playing some mutated form of rock and roll.

I concur.
