I am just wondering how you have no time for this band yet you have posted to paragraphs of nothing in here complaining about a band name.

Haha wow that is beyond contradicting. He likes Eminem yet is offended by the name of this band.

Yeah they're good, but not the best. They have all of the dynamics of an essential death metal band, but it's hard to tell them apart from the others out there. They get kind of technical to which I like.

Why is that so far fetched? Why is everyone afraid of calling him their favorite or "the best"? I've got a vague idea of why that may be for most people...

Not you, Jans - I know that's not your reason. I'm just thinking out loud I guess.

It's because he's not even the best white rapper, let alone best rapper of all rappers. Not all people who recognize that fact are turned off by his subject matter .. he's just not the best rapper of any race.
Eminem raps about murder and other socially unacceptable things is the comparison to Dying Fetus.

Whenever I hear a metal band(its always a metal band) with a name like this I can't help but think that these guys picked this name thinking it would shock and scare people when in reality it comes across as sounding really silly, something a 14 year old boy would think is a cool name for a band

I like Eminem. My comment wasn't about whether he is or isn't the best rapper in the world, I just think it's funny that someone who would be so turned off by the subject matter of a death metal band would have such high praises for a guy who who has pretty violent lyrics himself.

Meh. I think it's just one of the conventions of the genre, like garage rock bands having names that start with "the". Definitely not something that impacts my opinion of the music one way or another.

I have time to be critical of them basically. How does that not make any sense? I don't get what Eminem is to do with this?

Oh, okay, so you do have time for them.

And the funniest thing is, contrary to your bizarre objections, a lot of Dying Fetus lyrics are simply political and are not violent.

Agreed. My thought patterns were just whack yesterday.
