What’s your most anticipated banger?
Lunatique - Amazing band name, I call dibs.
Blackened Thrash/Speed? Or Proggy Black/Extreme?
Proggy for sure, heavily classical influenced, with blues inflections in a dreamy shoegaze atmosphere, but not afraid of a big epic finish.
Proposed lyrics:
An old, mad, blind, despised, and dying King;
Princes, the dregs of their dull race, who flow
Through public scorn,—mud from a muddy spring;
Rulers who neither see nor feel nor know,
But leechlike to their fainting country cling
Till they drop, blind in blood, without a blow.
A people starved and stabbed in th’ untilled field;
An army, whom liberticide and prey
Makes as a two-edged sword to all who wield;
Golden and sanguine laws which tempt and slay;
Religion Christless, Godless—a book sealed;
A senate, Time’s worst statute, unrepealed—
Are graves from which a glorious Phantom may
Burst, to illumine our tempestuous day.
- England in 1819
By Percy Bysshe Shelley
Weird that cancer and wolf are grouped together
Apparently, “wolf” was a metaphorical name for cancers which “devoured” flesh, as opposed to creating tumors, I guess.
I think it was lupus.
It’s never lupus.
Lupinus.
…but I mean that’s the band name “Cancer, and Wolf”
Seriously though, going over a reddit threat this was on, looks like “Wolf” referred to a fast-growing tumor that “ate you like a wolf” or somesuch.

I choose to interpret it literally
It’s definitely cooler that way, but also maybe in that regard “Cancer” means they were clawed to death by a giant crab?
why not both
I now imagine wolf cancer involves one of the two wolves inside you finally deciding to grow it’s own body
at least 7 people had a fetish for succubus-nurses.
In 400 years our list of conditions will seem similarly naive and simplistic.
Been to a doctor lately? We can’t cure shit. We’ve got a few meds that can help balance systems or mask pain. We can cut shit open and rearrange it. We can zap some shit with radiation. But actually fix anything? Nah. Maybe in another 400 years.
“Oh, look, they treated obesity as a disease. And heart disease? Hahaha that’s funny. Hearts are so simple.Cant believe cancer is its own category. Everyone knows what causes that and how to treat it.”
I will say the improvement in infant mortality is amazing. At no time in human history have infants had a better chance of survival than now(ish). So maybe I’m just cynical and disillusioned with the current state of my medical care.
If you are truly cynical you would realize that Society will collapse long before 400 years, matter of fact, let me glance at the clock.
“lol they died of having a pitiful human body”
we’ve improved infant mortality and added 6 bad years to the end of life. that’s all medicine has done for mortality statistics.
we are able to treat some diseases poorly, some diseases well, we’ve eradicated a few but some dipshits decided it would be fun to bring them back so that’s cool i guess. they’ve also discovered how to keep people alive while they are in several different parts across the room, which i have doubts about whether they discovered that ethically.
Cancer (and wolf)
“Be careful, my relative tried chemo for the first time and died 3 days later to a wolf attack.”
The wolves can smell the chemo, it’s like marinade for them.
Hard to say which one finished them off. Better put both.
Lunatique has to be someone’s name by now
“King’s evil”
Political bars.
The axe, or hanging, or drawing and quartering, etc. Not often old age in prison so much.
It was a lymph node disorder, commonly caused by tuberculosis.
How does one die of piles?
Alright, but I’m only going to show you once.
What an asshole. /s

Great name for a deathcore band.
My votes go for:

I’m partial to Kings Evil myself
Rising of the Lights is cool
Bunch of anti-monarchists snuck into the records office 😄
I wonder what that actually was.
According to Wikipedia, it’s known in modern times as mycobacterial cervical lymphadenitis.
The disease mycobacterial cervical lymphadenitis, also known historically as scrofula and the king’s evil, involves a lymphadenitis of the cervical (neck) lymph nodes associated with tuberculosis as well as nontuberculous (atypical) mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium marinum.
As for what lymphadenitis is?
Lymphadenopathy or adenopathy is a disease of the lymph nodes, in which they are abnormal in size or consistency. Lymphadenopathy of an inflammatory type (the most common type) is lymphadenitis.
The Wikipedia article for king’s disease has a picture if you’re curious, although it’s a bit gross.
Vomiting worms
Anal arthritis? Intestinal fracture? I think two vaguely medical terms jammed together make the best band/song names for this entertaining genre of music.
Fistula… I’m scared to search that…
It’s a generic term for an open hole between two spaces where there should be a wall. The two spaces might include “outside”, but could be two internal spaces (e.g. between the intestine and abdominal cavity)
Yep, and even worse, one of the classic ones is rectovaginal. Fortunately modern medicine can fix it
Yeah, you’re right to feel that way.
You don’t have to. Here, I’ll tell you: It’s when your asshole sprouts another asshole.
It can also be when toothdecay spreads sideways through your mouth. That’d probably kill you a lot more readily back then
Worms :(
“Doctor why are you head banging?”
“Bleeding” isn’t exactly “Fucked with a Knife” but Fucked with a Knife is a track on The Bleeding by Cannibal Corpse.
Sciatica-ed to death
