Anal Cunt is a noisecore band from the United States. They are often referred to by their initials A.C. due to the perceived—indeed intended—offensive nature of their name; many of their album covers simply write A.C., written AxCx, as their name. Their song titles consist almost entirely (barring the Picnic Of Love album, as well as covers of the A-Team and Hungry Hungry Hippos themes) of generally offensive material. The band has often been criticized for its popularity being based solely on their controversial song titles and lyrics rather than any musical ability, and is often quoted when a debate is being made against the grindcore genre of music. One ongoing dispute is how much Anal Cunt actually believes in what they say on their albums.
Some examples of their less controversial song titles are Hitler Was A Sensitive Man, I Hope You Get Deported, and Connor Clapton Committed Suicide Because His Father Sucks (the original title for Your Kid Committed Suicide Because You Suck). One recurring song title is X is gay, with X being variable: some well-known examples are The Internet is Gay, Windchimes are Gay, and The Word 'Homophobic' is Gay.
The sound of a typical Anal Cunt song is loud distorted guitars usually just open strings, drums whacked endlessly and really loud screaming. Lyrically, Anal Cunt is quite similar to Arenoskrap-Tech , the crapcore pseudoska/rap band from Scotch Plains, NJ, who also sings insultingly mocking, disgusting and often threatening songs about individuals in particular.
Anal Cunt was founded in 1988 in Massachusetts by Seth Putnam. He choose the name by making a list of obscene words, and then trying to find the most stupid, offensive combination of them--Anal Cunt. The band was meant as a joke, and was to only release one album and do one show. However, they are still going strong in 2005.
Anal Cunt's take on making song titles a joke in themselves may have influenced many other hardcore and grindcore bands who attempt to get laughs from humorous, but often cryptic, titles.
Since 1997, Anal Cunt has also become known for its acoustic black metal side-project Impaled Northern Moonforest, another joke band.
In 2000, they released Split With The Raunchous Brothers. Some song tracks include: "I'm Hitler", "The Guy Who Shot His Kid Up With AIDS is Awesome", and "I Went Back In Time, And Voted For Hitler".
Additionally, infamous punk rocker GG Allin has a song titled "Anal Cunt", but there is no relation between them.
