    Mayhem, Amon Amarth and Gwar are great, each in their own way. I find the inclusion of Amon Amarth in your list puzzling since there is such a large viking metal genre…

    Varg (from the Mayhem article) is out of prison.

  • rebekah

    alestorm-a metal band about pirates

  • Adams

    Mayhem and Amon Amarth? Come on, you're not even trying. It's sad that 30 seconds on Google now counts as a valid research effort.

  • Aurell

    so THATS what varg went to jail for.

    i saw a video of him at his trial, and he was smiling but i couldn't understand what they were saying. ;_;

    dir en grey? more like dur im gay. i lost a friend because of her obsession with that band; she started to attempt to dress like them and act like them, even referring to me as the “inferior one” and the “pathetic human in her way”, like she wasn't human herself :U

    and dear god i hope that isn't manson.
    oh well, it's fine, i was a dork back then too. :3

  • Amethyst

    Oh come on, Dir en grey's not that weird…especially not since they stopped dressing VK

  • Atarikid1970

    You forgot “Satans Anal Club”, they rocked till they all killed themselves as part of their show.

  • Neva

    I completely agree. Considering every metal band I've yet encountered, Amon Amarth wouldn't even make it into my Weirdness Top 50. And that's just metal bands. I'm more amazed by the fact that you can write entire songs about… um, umbrellas or something.
    So how about the “filk” genre? Or chiptune/SID music? Or… well, I could continue for hours. There's much more weirdness out there, and lots of it is really enjoyable – broaden your horizon, people ;)
