How did you come to name your band that? 3. What does it mean (like, give a definition, or what it means to you, whatever)? |

Actually it's more to filter out those who don't get my sense of humor or are way too uptight and PC. 1. S.F.C. 2. My favorite phrase. 3. It means violence to me. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 17,2004 10:50am - assuck ""] we named ourselves abhorred cause we though people would hate us...vehemently |
| ________________________________ [Apr 17,2004 11:29am - jesus ""] 1. Dysentery 2. beats me 3. An inflammatory disorder of the lower intestinal tract, resulting in pain, fever, and severe diarrhea, often accompanied by the passage of blood and mucus. it suits us nicely |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 17,2004 11:35am - RustedAngel ""] 1. Porphyria 2. ? 3. Huge Dongs. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 17,2004 12:24pm - dunwich ""] 1. Kurixis 2. I think the meaning fits & I wanted something obscure 3. Ancient Greek word meaning "to lock/strike with horns" |

| ___________________________________________ [Apr 17,2004 1:39pm - rhavenangelsbane ""] angel's bane- I wrote a story about a lord of the west with his angels coming to this utopia like land and killing or converting everyone, a group of warriors opposes them(angel's bane they are called) |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 17,2004 2:18pm - xeatadickx ""] 1. Ymer 2. i thought it fit my music and lyrics perfectly, so 3. it's from norse mythology... ymer was an ice giant born from the frosts of neifelhiem, and from his arms and feet the first gods/goddesses were born. eventually odin vile and ve killed him, and his blood washed away all the giants except two, and the blood filled ginnungagap (the yawning void). this created land and sea, his bones became mountains, his hair became trees, and the maggots that first crawled out of his flesh were named aske and elka (ash and elm), and were the first humans much like adam and eve. mmmyup |
| _________________________________ [Apr 17,2004 2:19pm - joostin ""] 1. In Dire Need(death metal influenced hardcore) 2. at the time, the band was trying to think of a name to suit the music, and after days and days of not comming up with anything worthy enough, Joey said something along the lines of "c'mon guys! we're in dire need of a name!". I guess the "We're In Dire Need" sounded good and it stuck. It's nothing poetic. 3. to be in need of something 1. Butchered At The Throne(fast paced solo death/grind) 2. I was thinking of titles that would best suit the style and storyline of the first album. Based along the ideas of medevil surfs and lords, i think it was the best choice out of "Harvesting the Weak", "Crown of Thornes", and "Subjugate Death Feast"(ha). 3. The name just describes the climactic scene in the story told through the album. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 17,2004 2:30pm - anonymous ""] 1. darken the sky 2. we were all out after a movie, and we saw these smoke stacks making the sky look all black, so we said they were "darkening the sky" 3. it mean mosh your pants off |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 17,2004 4:07pm - the_reverend ""] George said:3: It's a method of solving problems, hard to explain, its an enginering term. it is a method for find a "best fit" solution to a problem where you eliminate all other possibilities through elimination. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 17,2004 4:14pm - retzam ""] 1. Guenhyvar (Prog Death) 2. No clue, drummer came up with it. 3. Pronounced Gwen-hih-var. Basically, it is an alternate spelling of the name of King Arthur's Lady Gwenavere (or however you spell it). It is supposed to be pronounced the same way, but we pronounce it phonetically. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 17,2004 5:55pm - iamwiggins nli ""] 1. death without weeping 2. haha i wish i had some input, but vocalist and other guitarist 3. comes from psychological concept regarding South American women who give birth to still borns and dont feel any loss...or so ive been told |

| ___________________________________ [Apr 17,2004 8:13pm - dreadkill ""] 1. dreaded silence 2. our guitarist mike came up with it after we rejected such great names as "black fog rising" and "vociferous fury". we have fun laughing at the awful names we suggested at the time. basically dreaded silence was the least sucky name we had on our list, so we took it. 3. it can mean different things i guess. at the time it meant that we love music all the time and hate silence, so it worked. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 18,2004 3:25am - bludgeoncore ""] 1. It Will End In Pure Horror 2. It was part of the lyrics of an old song we had from our old band Suffer Now. 3. It means what it says, it (everything) will end in pure horror. |

| ____________________________________ [Apr 18,2004 11:20pm - blue nli ""] 1. Raising Kubrick 2. It was the only thing that we all thought sounded good. 3. We all like Stanley's movies, and it could have a dual meaning (raising his corpse from the dead? raising him as a child?) or many more that you could think up. |

| ____________________________________ [Apr 19,2004 7:55am - anonymous ""] 5 Minutes Hate Dan's Wife came up with it It's a play on the 1984 ideal that each day the "people" have a two minute period to hate everything. We decided that since there were 5 of us in the band, songs are generally based around 5ths and contain sections of 5's we just thought 5 minutes hate sounded better for us. |
