How did YOU come up with YOUR band name?[views:4553][posts:27]_________________________________________________ [Jul 22,2004 1:41am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] I was thinking about how some things are so isolated, like senses. It occured to me when we cross-reference senses it makes our minds do funny things, and makes us feel peculiar sensations. This is not unlike some of the linguistics work Noam Chomsky did. We didn't want a specific "genre" or "label" on our band, just wanted to be very expressive of feelings and ideas and create more so than write songs. first I thought "The Taste of Red" but then I was like nah too metal. then I was like "The Taste Of Silver" cause silver is such a shiney, brilliant color. I was like ooooh...then we tossed it around and kept it once Rowan joined and liked it too. I didn't realize it's a metal, too, till later. So sometimes we joke and say we're all about killing werewolves. now you go. |

| __________________________________ [Jul 22,2004 6:53am - Kalopsia ""] my guitarist was on this website full of English words that kinda fell out of use in the language and many people both never used them, and never even heard most of the words. i forgot the name of the site but on that site he saw the word Kalopsia, which means the dillusion that something is more beautiful than it really is, so he used it |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 22,2004 10:43am - 3rd_Knuckle ""] we were offered a deal (which we eventually declined) but the label said they hated our name, so we just started randomly looking everywhere for a new one... all we knew was we wanted it to be one word. our guitarist & drummer's sister found it in a thesaurus |

| _______________________________ [Jul 22,2004 2:46pm - silky ""] pray for a plague was originally an industrial noise project I was working on a few years back. I took tons of samples from some documentaries I had focusing on how people were preparing for the end of the world. |
| _________________________________________________ [Jul 22,2004 3:30pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] hey 3rd knuckle - what's your band? I would have thought "3rd knuckle" but that's two words. dave - For some reason I thought you guys got it from the end of the "Nightmare On Elm St" video game, where like you die and then it says "The Nightmare Continues..." |

I was sent three slogans from burger king, and that was one of them...they asked me what the first thing that popped into my head when reading these. when i read beef teeth whopper, I thought. beef teeth in my whopper. they didnt use it. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 22,2004 4:28pm - Christraper ""] We used to be called Sorcery because well....its a hobby of mine but theres like 8 million other bands in the world called sorcery. One of which is a power metal band from Spain. Obviously a name change was in order so we decided to go with Esuriem. Esuriem is an ancient Semitic word having to do with werewolves meaning "hunger". In old folklore its the first of seven reasons why wolves turn to killing humans instead of animals. In this case wolves have discovered that the blood of humans tastes sweeter than that of animals. |

| _________________________________________________ [Jul 22,2004 5:46pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] so does that mean, transitively, that since fruit punch is sweeter than human blood, that wolves like fruit punch best? |

| ___________________________________ [Jul 23,2004 1:26pm - dyingmuse ""] i came up with shroud of bereavement from my dying brides song "the sexuality of bereavement" i liked the word and i knew i was going to be playing death/doom. later the shroud thing came in because i seemed to be shrouded in tragic events, so i figured why not. then realized that a shroud of bereavement could be the shroud that a widowed wife could wear at a funeral or even the cloth they put over a dead body. it all works i guess. either way i thought it sounded sorrowfull and doomy so thats why! |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 23,2004 2:59pm - WhyamIandasshole ""] Random Acts of Violence seemed pretty obvious. I was actually surprised no one else had taken it already. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 23,2004 7:01pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] One time in Maine some kid got his head bashed in behind the club during a mugging, we had 2 options: a) put a random acts of violence postcard in his pocket b) call 9-1-1 to save his life I was out voted and we called 9-1-1. |
