I don't want to do a whole huge post on this. I was just glancing at it and one band name stuck out: Sanctuary. Why did this name stick out? Sanctuary was a band from Seattle in the late 1980's/early 1990's. They released two studio albums and a live album and then broke up. Three of its members Warrel Dane, Jeff Loomis, and Jim Sheppard went on to form another band. Which they called Nevermore. Sanctuary became Nevermore. They can not become the next Nevermore, they ARE Nevermore.

Ridiculously Unhelpful Amazon Listmania Pt. 4: Black Metal Supergroups
http://www.amazon.com/Black-metal-supergroups-part-2/lm/RUDRXFH8ADBGD/ref=cm_lmt_srch_f_2_rsrsrs2
Ah, I finally figured out how to add a link here. Awesome.
Anyway, here we have another horrible Amazon list to deal with. This one is Black Metal Supergroups Pt. 2. I wonder what Part 1 was, since I can't find the damn thing. Oh well. Now this should be fairly simple. There are two elements that have to be met based on that title (the lawyer in me speaking). First, the bands have to play black metal. Second, the band has to be a supergroup, defined by Wikipedia as a group "whose performers are already famous from having performed individually or with other groups." Ah, so this should be fun. Unsurprisingly, very few of these bands meet these two relatively simple criteria. Let's have a look:
Dragonlord: Okay, we start things off well. This band meets both critera, playing a form of symphonic black metal and featuring members from Testament, Nevermore, and Sadus.
Lair of the Minotaur: And we immediately fall on our face here. Lair of the Minotaur is a doom/thrash metal band with virtually no black metal influences. Its members performed in other bands, but it's not like 7000 Dying Rats is famous. Pelican is a bit moreso, but not enough to qualify this as a supergroup.
Acid Bath: I feel very comfortablein stating that Acid Bath has nothing to do with black metal. It's also not a supergroup unless you stretch things really far to claim Golgotha and Dark Karnival are famous bands. I've never heard of either one, so no.
High on Fire: Again, not at all black metal. High on Fire does feature a former member of Sleep, but no one else in the band is particularly well-known. This is more of a next project after Sleep disbanded for one former member.
Type O Negative: This is just blatantly absurd. There's absolutely fucking nothing black metal about Type O at all. And again, Carnivore broke up and remaining members formed Type O, ergo not a supergroup.
Zao: I'm about to start banging my head on my desk. Not black metal, Christian hardcore. I have no idea if it meets the criteria of supergroup, not familiar enough with the band, since they're not even metal. NFM.
Sworn Enemy: Groove metal, not black metal. Also there's a note here that says the band is on this list because it formed from the ashes of Mindset, a band no one has heard of, and the singer for As I Lay Dying produced it, which has nothing to do with whether a band is a supergroup.
The Black Dahlia Murder: Melodic death metal, none of the members were famous prior to the band's formation. For anything. At all. Next.
Arcturus: This is only the second band that fits the criteria, that is if you stretch the definition of black metal. It does feature members of Ulver, Borknagar, Emperor, and Mayhem though, so I will let this one pass. But, I'm watching you Mr. Listmaker Guy.
Thou Art Lord: Wow, two in a row? It's a Hellenic black metal band featuring members of Rotting Christ, Necromantia, and Septicflesh.
War: Three? Holy shit. Swedish black metal band made up of members of Dark Funeral, Hypocrisy, and Abruptum.
Behemoth: And that breaks the streak. Behemoth is Nergal's baby, the other members may have been in other bands, but Nergal owns this and he was 15 when he started the band. I'm guessing here, but I doubt he was famous prior to that.
Sodom: This is hilarious. Sodom did influence black metal, but they themselves were thrash. There's another note here that says this band was a side project for Frank Blackfire and that's why it's here. To which I say no, no it was not. Sodom was around for years before Blackfire and they were around for years after Blackfire. Therefore, not a side project. Also Angelripper, the actual driving force behind the band was not famous before Sodom.
Orcustus: I suppose I will allow this. Black metal band formed by members of Gorgoroth and Emperor, and a couple other people I have not heard of but may have been with other bands.
Opeth: But this is inexcusable. Not black metal, progressive metal. Not a supergroup, no one did anything major before this band. You could have at least put Bloodbath, which featured Opeth's singer. Even though they're not black metal either.
Amon Amarth: No, does not fit either criteria.
Hellhammer: No, does not fit supergroup criteria. Influenced black metal, may be considered black metal in some circles. Later became Celtic Frost, not earlier though.
Leviathan: Is it possible for a one-man band to be a supergroup? No, no it is not possible.
DevilDriver: Groove metal, one former singer from Coal Chamber does not a supergroup make.
Strapping Young Lad: Devin Townsend's project does not have anything to do with black metal and he was the only permanent member.
Ulver: Black metal band, but not a supergroup as it was the original band for Garm. Borknagar would have worked here after singer Garm went to work with members of Gorgoroth, Immortal, and Enslaved to form that band.
Death: Not at all black metal. Chuck Schuldiner was the only permanent member, it was his baby.
Necrophagia: Death metal band. The only reason this is here is because of the presence of Anton Crowley (Phil Anselmo) and he was not a founding member, nor a long lasting one.
The Kovenant: Electronic black metal band which was an original band when formed, not a supergroup.
Mezzerschmitt: I can see this. Industrial black metal band from two members of Mayhem and one from Red Harvest.
Gorgoroth: Huh? How is Gorgoroth, one of the leading Norwegian black metal bands, a supergroup? Yes, they've had a ton of members, but that doesn't mean they were formed to be a supergroup.
Gehenna: Sanrabb, Dolgar, and Sir Vereda do not fit the definition of famous bands such that members of them forming Gehenna would lead to a classification of a supergroup.
Keep of Kalessin: None of these guys were previously famous or in famous bands or a supergroup.
Ragnarok: See Keep of Kalessin.
Watain: See Ragnarok.
Fimbulwinter: Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir was in this band. However, he was in it prior to Dimmu Borgir. So, no, not a supergroup.
Satyricon: See Watain.
Killswitch Engage: Hold off on the supergroup part for right now. The band clearly does not qualify, but are you actually saying that KSE is a black metal band? Really? Get your ears checked.
Soilent Green: Not black metal, and having one member from Acid Bath does not make it a supergroup either.
Vintersorg: This is the main band for both of these guys, neither of whom were famous prior.
Nattefrost: More of a side project/main band for the singer during and after Carpathian Forest. Not a supergroup.
Six out of thirty-six bands fit the criteria. Six. That's 16.67%. That's an F my friend.

Ridiculously Unhelpful Amazon Listmania Pt. 3: The Next Dokken
http://www.amazon.com/The-next-Dokken/lm/R3MXB5CUUMUTUO/ref=cm_lmt_srch_f_1_rsrsrs0
Yes, that's right boys and girls, apparently we need another Dokken. You remember Dokken right? No? "Breaking the Chains"? "Unchain the Night"? "Alone Again"? "Into the Fire"? "Dream Warriors", the song from A Nightmare on Elm St 5? Bueller?
Whatever, that's why we need a next Dokken, because the first one wasn't memorable enough. I happen to like Dokken okay, they were one of the better bands in the whole 1980's glam metal scene. So what kind of characteristics will we be looking for in the next Dokken? Presumably, they will play some sort of heavily melodic pop-inflected metal with virtuosic guitar solos and high vocals. So who's the next Dokken? Here's the list:
Atreyu (what the fuck? I'm pretty sure there are absolutely no similarities between these two bands)
Ozzy Osbourne (little piece of advice: when determining "the next band x" it's best not to refer to one that has actually been around just as long or longer)
Early Man (I have no exposure to this band whatsoever
3 Inches of Blood (once again, NO similarities)
Ratt (see Ozzy)
Pantera (huh?)
Whitecross (no idea)
Stryper
White Lion (awful, awful band)
Pharaoh (great new band, virtually no similarity to Dokken though)
Dragonforce
Avenged Sevenfold (more like the next Guns 'N Roses, minus talent and memorable songs)
Dreamland (never heard of 'em)
Poison (see Ratt)
Nocturnal Rites (Swedish power metal band)
Y&T
Disturbed (and my brain exploded)
Phil Vincent
XYZ
Black Widow (this album was originally released in 1970, eight years prior to the formation of Dokken)
Metallica (why would Metallica want to be the next anything? what's wrong with being the first Metallica? Pretty good if you ask me)
The Sword (doom metal wannabe band, Dokken is not at all close to doom metal)
Metallica
I (blackened heavy metal supergroup)
Armageddon
Skid Row (this I might be inclined to believe, but they're not around anymore at all)
Slick Shoes (who?)
Driver
Iced Earth (no)
Razormaid (this was released in 1987 and the band promptly disbanded, thus they are not the next anything)
Empire
Headrush
The Cowboy Prostitutes
Def Leppard (see Poison)
Riff Raff (originally released in 1974)
Sebastian Bach
Human Zoo
Seventh Calling
Sonic X
I've never heard of half of these bands. Is the next Dokken among them, no clue? Do I care? Not a chance.

Ridiculously Unhelpful Amazon Listmania Pt. 2: Christian Metal/Hardcore
http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/syltguides/fullview/1ZRR4YQYJAGE6/ref=cm_syt_fvsy_f_5_rysdsd0
Yay for Amazon lists! This isn't technically a metal list, nor is it a Listmania list, but the effect is the same. I'm quoting this list mainly for the ridiculousness of it. Seriously, I won't comment much further (my comments will be in parentheses and bolded like this), this is actually what the list says. I have quoted the most entertaining sections.
"Okay, so i'm gonna go through a list of some of the greatest hardcore CDs in existence, none of which are satanic garbage like so many hardcore bands resort to (I don't know of many Satanic hardcore bands, do you?) in order to get attention. Most of this will be music that will make you need to break something, but in a few rare cases i'll put in something a bit more mellow, but only if it deserves it."
"Will you feel the urge to break down a door or wall? YES. Will you want to scream until your throat bleeds? YES."
"It will leave you screaming I AM HOLLYWOOD for days on end after listening to the last track. LEAVE MY DAUGHTER ALONE!! (I don't know what this means)"
"You'll feel an overbearing urge to knock on your neighbor's door and beat him in the face. (That's not very Christian, doesn't the Bible say 'love thy neighbor?')"
"After listening to it you'll run up to someone on the street and point in their face yelling YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE. CLOSE YOUR EYES AND DIE. (You seem to have emotional problems)"
"If you buy A-Types and not this you'll be taken to an asylum for attempting suicide. (I don't know about you, but not buying an album has never lead me to consider suicide)"
"But it's so much more than that. Trust me, you'll jump around like an idiot and break inexpensive things listening to this."
"Have fun trying to bust through a wall. (A little pent-up aggression maybe?)"
"A bit melodic at times, but so destructive at others you'll be pounding your younger siblings without realizing it."
"Have fun injuring yourself and others."
And they say death metal causes violence.

Ridiculously Unhelpful Amazon Listmania Pt. 1: The Next Zyklon?
As part of a new series, I want to make fun of people who put together Listmania lists on Amazon. Sometimes, these may be to point out the maker's favorite albums, in which case it's hard to argue. However, there exists another type of list. A. Stutheit "Teyad" is my go-to list-maker for when I want a laugh. He makes multiple lists every day and essentially just re-orders bands with a slightly different title each time.
http://www.amazon.com/The-next-Zyklon/lm/R22KDVTIDIVV9M/ref=cm_lmt_fvlm_f_4_rlrsrs0
Here we have: The Next Zyklon.
First of all, there is the question: why do we need another Zyklon? Is one Zyklon not enough? Seriously Zyklon is a decent-enough band, but they are hardly a classic band. They are merely there. I don't think there is anyone out there who considers Zyklon their favorite band. Asking for the next Zyklon is like asking for the next Gabe Kapler in baseball, or Kevin J. O'Connor in movies. Who? Exactly my point.
What do we know about Zyklon though? They're more of an industrial black metal band formed by members of other Norwegian black metal bands including Emperor.
So, who is the next Zyklon? Here's the list.
Infernaeon
Aeon: Swedish death metal band that has little to nothing in common with Zyklon
Ghamorean
Vehemence
Decapitated: Polish tech death metal with little to nothing in common with Zyklon
Lair of the Minotaur: I have no idea what this band is doing here, LotM is a doom/thrash metal band.
Job for a Cowboy: Deathcore band. My mind is blown.
God Dethroned
Goatwhore: Blackened thrash/death metal band
Dragon Lord: Symphonic black metal band
Hypocrisy: Has been around significantly longer than Zyklon, so huh?
Blood Red Throne
Akercocke: Again, been around longer than Zyklon
Lock Up
Bloodbath: Swedish death metal band
Ihsahn: One of the members of Zyklon's former bandmate in Emperor, so no
Order of Ennead
The Amenta: The only band close in sound to Zyklon, but still not that close
Slipknot: What the fuck?
Spawn of Possession
Hour of Penance
Shade Empire
Tristwood
The Black Dahlia Murder: really?
Suicide Silence: deathcore
Abigail Williams
Demiricous: Thrash/groove metal band
Withered
Lamb of God: The maker of this list puts LoG in his lists a lot. He seems to believe there's some black metal to this band which makes him potentially deaf.
Zao: I'm not sure what a Christian hardcore band has to do with a Norwegian industrial black metal band. I'd like to though.
Urshurak
Anaal Nathrakh: This one's reasonably close, but the bands have been around approximately the same amount of time.
Aborted
Mindgrinder
Nox: more of a classic death metal band
Craft
Gojira: WHAT?
Gorelord
Deathspell Omega: black metal, nothing more, nothing less
Daath
So there you have it. 40 bands that are not at all like Zyklon trying to be the next Zyklon, at least in this person's mind.
