I guess it's similar to the metal bands sticking umlauts over random letters. Apparently they're going for Nordic rather than Teutonic.
Oh man, there's a Wikipedia article on Metal umlaut
edit: My brain insists on prefixing "metal umlaut" with "full".
from Dr.Mu's wiki link:

American thrashcore band The Accüsed

I've got 3 CD's by this group in my collection and never once noticed the gratuitous umlaut before... and apparently the usage of an umlaut in the band's name has also escaped AMG as well.
Oh, good grief.
Cattle Decapitation.
They have a track titled "A Living, Breathing Piece of Defecating Meat" available NOW from eMusic on the free METAL BLADE RECORDS 2012 Summer Sampler.
Erm. I haven't downloaded or listened to it yet. Not sure if I'm ready for vegan protest metal.
Finally got around to looking at that Metal Blade Records sampler - had downloaded it the other day just to see if it would work when many people were reporting problems with downloads - and besides Cattle Decapitation, although no one else has a remotely close gross song title, I can't help noticing The Cancerbats, and Goatwhore - I'm sure they stayed up for days thinking those up - actually it would make more sense if they had been up for days.
I actually love this one, one of the best band names I've come across. My daughter, who follows Japanese music more than I do, tells me that it originated as a bad translation of a Japanese phrase having something to do with fighting agianst cowardice or something, but I can't find the source. Anyway, the name they have built a career on is Bump of Chicken.
Genius.
ETA: Their first tour was called "Star Porking Tours". Who knows what that started life as in Japanese.
Duchess Says was created in late 2003 by four influent members of the Church of Budgerigars who decided to collaborate together in a common musical project. Their goal was to insure a faithful representation of the message of the Duchess (or spiritual budgie) through a precise artistic dialog.

I wonder how you go about meeting a spiritual budgie?
I have that exact Alabama Thunderpussy album from Mordac that I DL'd when I was really drunk. Yay.
At least it was only a penny per track or whatever, at the time. I recommend the "Amounts That Count" track, haha.

I don't know how you pronounce
- Pøp sounds more like pop made extreemely cheesy, or how a posh person would pronounce pop.

It's sad browsing through this thread and realizing that all those old Amie Street links just point back to Amazon now...

FYI: Odense is the city of H.C Andersen.
I know you've all been waiting for the debut release from Ejaculation Death Rattle.
Although they're no Gay Witch Abortion (who are actually a pretty darn good band).
