    I’m downvoting for specifically picking out Parkway Drive as if it’s not clearly Australia’s best metal band.

    (this comment surely won’t end up being controversial either lol)

      Ne Obliviscaris is Australia’s best metal band, hands down.

      That’s a weird way to spell Caligula’s Horse. Jkjk, I’ve never listened to parkway drive, they probably kick ass, I just have a soft spot for chorse.

        Caligulas Horse is dope and I’m happy to see another person spreading their gospel in the wild.

      Oh, are you interpreting their comment as saying that these bands don’t deserve to be popular?

      I think, they’re rather saying that the names themselves are humorous, like I don’t speak any South African language, but I have to assume that band intentionally stringed together tons of letters.
      Similarly, a drive on a parkway is rather mundane, whereas a metal band’s music is usually quite the opposite…

        It’s all relative to popularity. If it was about Rock and said AC/DC for Australia who would go hahahah AC/DC what a stupid name lololol are they making music about rectifiers? Parkway Drive is just one example that I was personally rolling my eyes over hard, but how is White Rat not a suitable name for a metal band?! To me it’s just being deliberately ignorant, that’s the whole joke, I don’t know these bands, such stupid names.

        Ok but Gojira are actually men and not Monsters, these are band names not descriptors of the band.

          Well, yeah, for something to be humorous, it often works best to be the polar opposite…

        Its even worse than that, as the OP posted above, its an acronym made to be as disgusting as they could come up with. Its honestly a bit impressive, but not that surprising considering the genre.
