D.I.E. – D.I.E.: A Video Breakdown
G.E.T. A. B.E.T.T.E.R. N.A.M.E.
We all like to joke that all the good band names are now taken. It may be why we see so many metal bands with “wolf” or “witch” in their names. The more plausible reason is that some people just aren’t particularly creative when it comes to naming things. With that I present to you the band D.I.E. No, not the thrash band from Finland named D.I.E. Not the three death metal bands from the US named D.I.E. And not even the Spanish band named D.I.E. I am talking about the crossover band from Brazil named D.I.E.
It’s safe to say that they are not the only band out there to use the oh-so-clever acronym of D.I.E for a band name. Acronyms can seem like a good idea if you’re a comic book writer coming up with a new evil syndicate or a child making their own fantasy wrestling federation, but it’s not a good look for bands. Just ask HIM, M.A.N., D.R.U.G.S., or S.T.U.N. You practically go blind from rolling your eyes so hard at those names. While naming your band D.I.E. is pretty silly, I suppose we should give them the benefit of the doubt. It’s a simple, easily remembered name and besides, their song titles are probably more cleve…wait, the song is also called “D.I.E”? S.h.i.t.

3:23: Wait… is the song over?
3:27: Uh oh… I don’t like the sound of that music. Is this about to become a snuff film?
3:34: So the song isn’t over. It just stopped for that super important interlude.
3:38: Meal preparation for the Olympics starts early.
3:43: Just because you’re a demon doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use gloves when handling raw meat.
3:54: Sure let’s stop the song again.
4:04: Whelp, shouting “Die!” over and over again sure made me want to die.
I have no idea if there is a new D.I.E album out any time soon. They put out an EP in 2012 so there you go.
