Mercyful Kate
Patos de Porão

In Flakes

If this thread is supposed to contain only funny "variants" of band names, then I shouldn't have posted here at all, I think, because most "names" I can think of now look even sadder/more depressing than the originals.
Like "The Fall of Every Season" -> "The Fall of Every Reason", for example...
Sorry for the offtopic.


It's a change of "...and Oceans", right? Then it looks like an improvement to me. I always thought that the original name looked too strange.
But "Sand Oceans" also sounds like a sad name and makes me think of either some doom metal album with lyrics about someone getting lost in the desert and describing the surrounding landscape (although in that case maybe it would sound better as "Oceans of Sand") or about some tragic change on Earth as a result of which all the water in the world ocean disappeared/replaced/filled by sand.

I would mention crocOpeth in this context and their weird sense of 'humor' - https://www.pinterest.com/pin/514465957403140340/

Seen a few different ones for Children of Bodom - I propose Children of Bosom.

Also, this Slayer one has pictorial support (for those that don't know, the person in the picture is AC Slater, a character from Saved By the Bell).

Indeed it is.

Some more:
