What is the Sh***est band name on Metal Academy?
I have just been having a quick look at the latest releases added to the site and came across a band called "Fizzy Dino Pop". WTF, must be one of the worst names on the site. Sure, some are just cringey, but this screams twee and disposable to me. Anybody else come across some truly terrible names for metal bands on the site?
Grindcore has some of the most terrible band names in my opinion, ranging from ridiculous to just offensive for the sake of offensiveness. Another good reason why grindcore is not worth my time. While a couple of the most notorious examples include A.C. and Pig Destroyer, two more come from bands whose albums I've reviewed are, to my ears, the sh*ttiest releases I've heard in all of metal, and the only ones I've rated 0.5 stars. You can find what they are here: https://metal.academy/users/profile/97/ratings?rating=0.5

I haven't heard either of those albums, Andi, but I will check them out and get back to you!!
A.C. is a dumb name - it doesn't even make sense.
My vote would have been for Custard, which is just a bizarre name, but I checked and they're not there. On the other hand, looking for that, I found the charming sound Cystgargle, who I'm grateful to never, ever hear. But grindcore is borderline cheating, since why wouldn't they have a terrible band name? You practically have to have one to play that genre.
Actually, going away from obvious joke names, I'd say Abstrakt Algebra. I like the Candlemass extended universe as much as anyone, but that name always struck me as a bit can't be bothered.
My death metal band Neuropath was originally called Coprophagia which is the condition you have if you eat feces.
