Entertainment For Lively Minds
It’s not scary, it’s just very silly…

There are doubtless many contenders for the most unintentionally laughable metal acts around but I‘d like to nominate Cradle Of Filth, good job guys (and gal)…
Cradle of Filth - Lilith Immaculate (from Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa) from Peaceville Records on Vimeo.

Fair's fair
They were instrumental to the funniest IT Crowd episode so far.
Mortiis
a mate of mine won tickets to the metal hammer awards
A few years ago. He still maintains that the funniest thing he's ever seen was mortiis attempting to flag down a taxi while still in full prosthetics and makeup...
Wahey!
Any excuse to post for the umpteenth time Van Canto and their acapella-tastic Wishmaster
i am liking
their diddly diddly work
Although
it all means diddly squat to me.
Hang on, are some of these people moonlighting
Oh lordy, haven't laughed that much for a while, but I'm pretty sure that both the baldie bloke and the female lady singer are also playing in the Filth video...
Calm down dears and have a nice cup of tea and a biscuit...
Cradle of Filth. Oh dear. Even the 15-year-old me would have baulked at listening to that. Poor.
I think they're from Ipswich
Explains a lot!
Really?
How so?
This is daft.
Embrace The Tide - Fake It Till You Make It.
They are attempting "dangerous yet serious." They are achieving "looking stupid and grumpy in a farm." Bless them, they're only about twelve.
The melody line on that one...
could have done with a bit more work.
When I were a lad
learning to play the guitar you could buy the music books for albums where all the parts had been transcribed into musical notation. Could you imagine being the poor bastard who had to try and transcribe that?
That James Corden
has slimmed down a bit.
One word: Strepsils
(also, hurr hurr hurr hurr hurr, boobies)

This is truly horrible.
It's got everything I hate about this style and these sort of videos: racket, growling, strikingly beautiful young woman being subjected to the usual indignities, etc.
The video aside, on the other hand I feel an awestruck fascination for this sort of shit. How the hell do you even being to write this sort of song? How does the drummer make that noise, even allowing for double pedals?
These guys are clearly musicians of the highest order and seem to me to be scarily adept at their instruments. But, as the young John Peel once said about the then brand-new Emerson, Lake and Palmer, what a terrible waste of talent and electicity.
I Googled
Norwegian black metal apparently - the lead singer is called Shagrath. The Wikipedia entry is worth a read as it's beyond satire. (Random quote: "Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia is marked as bands one of biggest penetration on wider scene." [sic])

I'll see your Dimmu Borgir and raise you…
Satyricon and the mighty ‘Mother North’ wherein spike studded armbands, large nightshirts, way too much gothic slap, fake blood, fire breathing, burning crosses and ladies bosoms all congeal into a truly awesome piece of cinematic nonsense...
Misogyny, boobs, drooling, growling ...
... cack-handed religious symbolism, make-up, impaling the virgin with your sword and fire-breathing ...
"Can ve pøøt in the sexy chick dancing nekkid?"
"No. Ve'll nevver get the videø on MTV if ve shøw her lady hage."
"Oh, økay..."
As Professor Cox might say, "Nobbers."
Methinks the keyboard player
in that band is somewhat wasted.
Don't forget
to warm up properly
Don't forget
your hottie.
"I bet you Michael Jackson can't do this!"
The bloke rolling up a fag in the background is a nice touch, too.
Cannibal Corpse
Are hilarious. Just check out this, their "Pop song" Evisceration Plague. And if you can't quite make out those lyrics, a sample "Viscera torn forcefully from the abdomen - Intestines slick with blood cannot escape my grip"
Lovely boys really from a fairly nice part of New York.
