Oddly-themed metal bands

Don't fancy their chances for longevity with a name like that. LOL

Well here's a slightly unsavoury Harry Potter themed band -

There's little normal about those guys for sure :-)

^ two very strange deathgrind bands we need to add:

From Wikipedia:

Hatebeak is a death metal band, formed by Blake Harrison and Mark Sloan, featuring Waldo, a Congo African grey parrot (b. 1991). Hatebeak is the only band to have an avian vocalist. They never tour so as to not torture the bird. Hatebeak is signed to Reptilian Records. The band split up in 2009 but reunited in 2015. They released the albumNumber of the Beak on June 26, 2015, through Reptilian Records.

The band's sound has been described as "a jackhammer being ground in a compactor". Aquarius Records magazine called Hatebeak "furious and blasting death metal". Hatebeak made its second record with Caninus, a band whose lead singers were two dogs. Hatebeak's goal is to "raise the bar for extreme music".

Both bands are actually already on here:

Those parody song titles of famous metal bands/albums/songs from Hatebeak are pretty hilarious.

If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme

Well, these 2 bands also have very deep and odd lyrics Ermm

Only the dead have seen the end of war.
Without music, life would be a mistake.

And here's another - Spongebob Squarepants themed metalcore. Why wouldn't there be?! Confused

There's also the aforementioned Zuckuss, who do Star Wars themed pornogrind...

This is not a real band, but an idea for a parody band which will never ever become a reality: a Star Wars themed parody on Shitfucker called Sithfucker.

Gwar is an interesting band if you like weird and ridiculously funny gore sci-fi themes: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/artist/gwar/?ac=gwar

Classics like "Saddam a Go-Go", "Slaughterama" and "Sexecutioner", should not be missed

I´ve unfortunately never seen them live and their frontman died of an overdose a few years back, so I´m not sure I ever will

, and from what I´ve heard their live shows are legendary.

I've always liked the videos and the image, and some of the song titles are brilliant (Penguin Attack!), but I never quite got the music. They're still going, although there's no original members left in the band.

Also can't forget Macabre. A lot of bands have sung about serial killers, but Macabre's entire career has been dedicated to them.

Yeah Macabre is a good choice too. I agree that Gwar´s music hasn´t always been of the highest quality, but it´s alright, as it´s always been about the show first and the music second. They do have some "hits" like the three above mentioned though.

Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE!
UMUR on RYM

POWERGLOVE have a video game theme. They dress like video game characters and do metal renditions of guess what... video game music!

BRUJERIA is a Mexican death metal band that acts like its part of the drug cartel and performs and acts like its always on the run and ready for unexpected shootouts and other shenanigans

ALESTORM is another pirate themed band. Not sure this is odd but worth mentioning

GWAR is my fave! Intergalactic terrorists in costumes wins me over

DETHKLOK of course is the faux band on the animated series Metalocalypse and is more of a gimmick than a theme i guess

WORMED is band from Spain whose lyrics are all scientific ranging from astronomy and astrophysics to biology, evolution and other complex analysis
