Here's What Happens When A Machine Learns Metal Band Names And Then Makes Up Its Own

Death from the Trend, Jazzy, Imbumblious, Sht, Vomberdean, and tons more ridiculous ones.

Death from the Trend, Jazzy, Imbumblious, Sht, Vomberdean, and tons more ridiculous ones.

Janelle Shane of Postcards From The Frontier Of Science has used an open-source neural network framework to generate recipes, Pokemon names, pick-up lines, and more in the past, so naturally she'd have test what it comes up with for metal band names!

Shane took over 100,000 metal band names, genres, and locations from Metal Archives, made the neural network learn from that information, and then generate some names of its own. Some are fairly metal, while others are friggin' hilarious.

My personal favorites are Jazzy, Inbumblious, Chaosrug, Sespessstion Sanicilevus… okay, actually they're all kind of my favorite, mainly because they're varying degrees of ridiculous.
