Trivia
This will be a page of random metal-related trivia for your enjoyment. Of course, some of this information may be wrong, and a lot of it might be missing, if you know of more correct information, let me know so I can update this.
I also want to take this second right now to give a special mention/thanks to Encyclopaedia Metallum – The Discordance, and many of the users at the Metal Archives Forums. Without the existence of this Needlebase database and those forums, finding some of this stuff could have been REALLY fucking hard.

Band with Most Words in Name
Intracerebrally Consuming Cephalalgia Through The Cranium Macerating Debrisfucked Manure Ingested Remains Of The Mindfucked Cataplexic Wicked Mankind Whom Fistfucked The Progenies From The Deepest Depths Of The Analmaggot Raped Human Pieces Of Erotic Shitmasses Which Gave Birth To Worthless Eunuchs As Travesty For Cumstained Whorefaced Sluts Enslaved By This Stupid Society Full Of Fetal Garbages
(Total words: 55; total characters: 344/398 (no spaces/with spaces))
This is an extreme grindcore band (what many would call gore-grind, which I do not believe is a real genre). The band apparently is known as “55″, which is most likely in reference to the amount of words in their band name.

While I feel quite strongly this level of drone shouldn’t even be considered music, you are right and I know that my personal opinion on how shit drone is doesn’t matter, enough people recognise it as a metal genre so… I’ll update now. Thanks for that.
