The 411 Music Top Five 12.09.08: Top 5 Stupidest Band Names
411mania.com TX
This week the 411Music writing staff tosses their Top Five groups who they think have the worst names. Do you agree that these notable names never should have been? Limp Bizkit Panic At the Disco Stone Temple Pilots just name a few. This genre is completely bankrupt in ideas and musicianship. We get it: you love Satan hate God and think you’re modern day pagan Viking warriors or whatever. Stealing names from Tolkein Norse mythology and adding Latin suffixes doesn’t count as groundbreakingly clever either.

Getting Angry About Prostate Cancer
New York Times Blogs NY
Spending time with my wife and family helps; so does writing in my journal. But in scanning my large collection of CDs a few months ago I noticed a few heavy-metal albums I hadn’t listened to in a long time. It struck me as the right music for my mood and the result has been my own unorthodox form of music therapy. I’ve learned that heavy-metal music leaches away my fury the way a poultice draws poison from a wound. I crave heavy bands like Slayer and Meshuggah Pantera and Sepultera Isis and Neurosis. Prostate cancer seems especially suited for heavy-metal music therapy. According to Dan Nelson?s book ?All Known Metal Bands? I could let my ears pound and bleed to such disease-specific headbangers as Cancer and Metastasis Scars of Chaos and Scars of Suffering and Surgikill Incision.
Their music for video games depends on play
Los Angeles Times CA
With an expected $50 billion in global sales this year video games have turned into such a big business that established composers from film and television are signing on to create the sweeping scores and intricate sounds that help guide players through their missions. Harry Gregson-Williams who scored “Shrek” created the music for the action game Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Steve Jablonsky the composer for “Transformers” wrote music for the Sims and Gears of War 2. Danny Elfman whose theme music for the 1989 “Batman” movie won him a Grammy Award scored the role-playing adventure game series Fable. The gigs pay well: Composers can receive as much as $2000 for each minute of music they write with a typical game requiring 60 to 90 minutes of music. Including the allowance for hiring musicians renting recording studios and post-production work the music budgets for top-notch games can reach as high as half a million dollars.
Monster metal

fctAdTag(”bigbox”MyGenericTagVar1);The first songs – That Was Just Your Life and The End of the Line – suggested the theme. The ferocious version of Creeping Death confirmed it. Later promised thoughts of going “off to never never land” as we all know Metallica’s most famous song that isn’t a ballad also dwells on the subject of death. Again we’re faced with the essential truth of good heavy metal music so often misunderstood. These bands don’t glorify death. They don’t celebrate devils they don’t welcome doom they don’t advocate evil. Well most of them don’t anyway.
