With a little guidance from Loudwire’s Dumbest Best Metal Band Names listicle, we decided to take the offramp into the offbeat and investigate the most off-kilter, ODDBALL metal bands with the most outlandish names and over the top aesthetics ever to bless metal. 

Whether it’s the band’s look, their theme, or the simple hilarity of “what’s in a name” (including, but not limited to: band name, album name, and/or song name), there’s certainly some incredibly wonderful, warped weirdness which dwells along the wild & wacky fringes near the outskirts of mainstream metal.

Get ready to discover the shared sensibilities of ladies and bowling balls and find out who should definitely NOT go swimming during Shark Week (especially if they are “experiencing their own personal shark week”). It’s time to get yourself a “vacation rental” and get ready to “put on your Magnum P.I. shirt” and pick up some crabcakes from that “hole in the wall” place further down the beach and JOIN US as we rundown Loudwire’s Dumbest Best Metal Band Names listicle and explore some of the most glorious ODDBALL WEIRDNESS in all of metal.
