Your photo comments (and immortal soul) will be deleted! Hail Satan!

Horna (pictured at left, brought to you by Zubr beer) hails from Finland. A lot of crazy black metal seems to originate in Scandanavian countries, no?

Ninjaface McGee found this charming gem, noting "OK, so they don't win for the best band name, but perhaps one of the best bios ever."

It does seem quite fortunate that they were able to replace "the hammer of uncreation" without too much trouble. You wouldn't think you could just find another one of those on Craiglist, but what do I know?

"Thy sinister werewolf kult of Horna was born in 1993 by Shatraug and Moredhel. The hammer of uncreation, Gorthaur, joined in 1994 and the first release "Varjoissa" was created in 1995. Joined by Satanic Warmaster (prior known as Nazgul) in 1996, Horna set out the course lead by "Hiidentorni" all the way upon the grim splendour of "Sudentaival". In 2001 Satanic Warmaster was replaced by Corvus unveiling an entirely new era in our existence. In the summer of 2003 we found our current lead guitarist Saturnus and the unholy trinity of Shatraug-Corvus-Saturnus was born, a revelation that clouded any previous settlements. Even when we saw it necessary to replace Gorthaur our thrice cursed black core kept going on, with strength anew. NO PICTURE COMMENTS!!!! WE DELETE ALL!!!!"

No country for anyone

When you think about taking a trip to a magical land, does it involve rednecks and a guy wearing a Dr. Seuss hat? Are you ready? No...are you really, really ready? How about you people in the back?

The lovers, the dreamers...and Toad

Mark Krump, a man with more passion than skill, presents his ode to perhaps the greatest level in Super Mario Kart. It was always my favorite, even when my friends would complain that we were all in danger of having a seizure.

Oddly enough, this song could have a similar effect.

Real Bands: OK, not really

How many among us have not taken a completely random phrase out of context and thought, "That would be a totally amazing name for a band!"

How many of us are searching for a moniker for our pop-metal-polka Beach Boys cover band or painfully hip indie side project?

Ninjaface McGee has some suggestions. He will demand a cut of your merch sales, though.

"This video may not be suitable for minors"

RehDogg is the unofficial poet laureate of Smash Hits, primarily because of the eloquent, James Lipton-worthy descriptions of his music. Witness, if you will, his most recent offering which he describes thus:

"This song pretty much states that I'm a laid back kind of guy but when trouble comes my way I will deal with it accordingly."

That's all well and good but does nothing to explain a) the refugee from the German Wham! cover band hiding in his kitchen, b) the knives and c)...what lurks in the Joe Boxers.

So much about this video is not OK.

The mind, it is blank

Girls With Attitude should not be confused with Niggas with Attitude. Nor anyone with actual talent or access to proper recording equipment.

They have, however, discovered the magical transformative powers of the "reverb" function. In this case, it elevates the vocals from merely off-key to downright creepy. Creepy like all of the little kids from 70s horror movies got together in a band.

Houston, we have a problem

Metaphors are great things. Nothing kills an otherwise decent song than totally literal descriptions of people and things - we're looking at you, Chad Kroeger. There should always be an element of poetry involved, especially when speaking of the magical experience of physical love between two consenting adults.

R. Kelly - whose dubious sanity has been previously showcased - takes this idea one step further with "Sex Planet." Yes, you read that correctly. The only real disappointment here is the glaring omission of a Uranus reference.

R. KELLY - "Sex Planet"
If you'd like to hear this set to music, here it is

Jupiter
Pluto
Venus and Saturn
I'm leaving Earth girl to explore your galaxy
Ten to zero

We'll be climax until we reach Mercury
Girl, Tell me are you ready girl
To take a trip out of this world
I guarantee you'll like it
It'll take your breath away
Gonna get you so excited
Once I've tasted your milky way

Girl spend the night come take a flight with me
Out into space

Girl you're sending me this sexual energies
And I gotta grab it
Right now I've gotta have it

So don't trip I got a giant rocket
Climbing through just in your pocket??

[Chorus:]
Sex planet
Come fly away with me
Right in my ecstasy
Out in the galaxy

In the middle of darkness
Girl relax and just flow
I'm about to twinkle and touch your soul
Once I am touring to your black hole (baby uhh)

Girl, now that you're next to me
We will be just like satelites
Watching over the Earth
We'll make space our paradise
Girl, I promise this will be painless (painless)
We'll take a trip to planet ??
