Line 25:
* Brazilian heavy metal band Massacration is composed by the [[Five-Man Band]] that forms the comedy group Banana Mecânica. The band appeared as a skit back in their own MTV program, when they were known as Hermes & Renato (sharing the name with said program). They are a downright stereotype of every heavy metal cliché in the book, from being dressed on denim and [[Hell-Bent for Leather|leather]] to singing in <s>English</s> [[Engrish]] to being [[Rock Me, Asmodeus|devil worshippers]], but the joke made so much of a success among viewers, they have two albums out, which are pretty good, [[MST3K Mantra|as long as you don't take it all too seriously]]. Oh, and they also helped make heavy metal more popular among Brazilian teens, along with ''[[Guitar Hero]]''. To understand what their backstory is about, check the [[wikipedia:Massacration|article]] on [[That Other Wiki]]. Think Dethklok, but in a more exaggerated (and [[Reality Is Unrealistic|blatantly lying]]) way.
** Their second album, ''Good Blood Headbanguers'' (intentional misspelling) was produced by none other than ''Roy Z''. How's that for status in the metal community?

* Inverted in ''[[Undocumented Features]]'' with The Art of Noise, a band in the 25th century named for the 20th century electronic music group in much the same way that singer Engelbert Humperdinck took his stage name from a classical composer. Author Ben "Gryphon" Hutchins has given numerous real songs by real groups such as [[Rush]] and [[They Might Be Giants (band)|They Might Be Giants]] to the fictional AON as their original compositions within the setting. Thanks to the magic of a [[Virtual Soundtrack]], it's possible to assemble at least one AON concert in its entirety for one's listening pleasure.
** More than a few other characters in ''UF'' take part in garage bands, doing cover versions of well-known songs.
** A special mention should go to ''Cthia.'' Described as "one of the hottest bands in galactic music", it is composed entirely of [[Star Trek|Vulcans]], playing enormously pretentious rock on traditional Vulcan instruments in perfect blank-face no-emotion style. One of their songs -- original lyrics written for the story they appear in -- is transcribed as part of describing their performance at a concert in one installment of the ''Symphony of the Sword'' cycle.
