10/29/07, 7:22 pm EST


Last week, in honor of All Hallow’s Eve, we asked you what bands had the most gruesome, blood-curdling monikers. After reading through all your Stephen King-like reader comments (some of you kids need psychiatric help), it’s with shaky typing and petrified pride that we present our list of the Twenty Most Gruesome Band Names:

1. Cattle Decapitation
2. Dahmer’s Icebox
3. Alien Sex Fiend
4. Chainsaw Surgery
5. My Bloody Valentine
6. Southern Death Cult
7. Cannibal Corpse
8. Christian Death
9. Revolting Cocks
10. Black Sabbath
11. diSEMBOWELMENT
12. Necrocannibalistic Vomitorium
13. Dogs Die In Hot Cars
14. Throbbing Gristle
15. Carcass
16. Pig Destroyer
17. Nosferatu
18. Flesh Eaters
19. …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
20. Hootie & The Blowfish

Dying Fetus should be up there. ;p

Black Sabbath? Pff, next nime have a grindcore fan write the list, cause this is almost embarassing.

My vote goes for Paracoccidioidomicosisproctiti sarcomucosis.

Benedikt | 1/6/2008, 2:39 pm EST

People actually find Alien Sex Fiend, My Bloody Valentine, Southern Death Cult, Christian Death, Black Sabbath to be “revolting”? What the hell? People is so sensitive.

How is “My bloody valentine” any different than bullet for my valentine?

And by the way, I think that Mindless Self Indulgence can top them all just because of the MANY acts that mindless self indulgence could imply…

Jack | 10/31/2007, 7:04 pm EST

Actually, I’m surprised Joy Division isn’t there. Maybe US folk don’t know where that came from - that is gruesome.

Jack | 10/31/2007, 7:03 pm EST

Some of the names of Japanese bands are pure madness.

The name that really gives me the chills though is Bono…

There was a little band from eastern Canada called the Vampires of Love. They are now defunct, but I loved that name. Not necessarily gruesome, but still a fine Halloween band name.

I always thought Hootie & The Blowfish was a warm and fuzzy name.

The only one on that list that even remotely bothered me was Dogs Die In Hot Cars. The rest aren’t the least bit gruesome to me.

Um, where’s the Dead Kennedys? I know its 2007 and we’re all desensitized, but in the 70’s, when they came out, that was a very controversial name.
