ZOMG NIETZCHE/ZOROASTER REFERENCES
BUt yeah, that post wins the internet.
Merkava:

Sadly he is not, frankly it sucks that no-one knows The The :(

I know The The. I haven't heard that much by him, but he is good.
Shaft:
--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---Actually, whether it works depends entirely on how serious he is. It is a generally acknowledged fact that the names of goth/industrial etc. bands must be:
a) clicheville (Black Atmosphere, Deathstars, Die Laughing)
b) references to old horror films (Nosferatu, London After Midnight, Carfax Abbey)
c) Awful puns or semi-puns (The Newlydeads, Electric Hellfire Club)
d) Plain wierd (Clan of Xymox, Libitina, Killing Miranda)
e) something to do with the word 'coil' (Coil, Mortal Coil, Icon of Coil)
f) A veiled reference to the nazis (Death in June, Joy Division)
g) Vaguely offensive (Alien Sex Fiend, Christian Death, Blade Fetish)
h) Nonsensical cultural reference (Bauhaus, Rosetta Stone, The Mission UK)
j) All of the above with more k's (My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, Inkubus Sukkubus, Ikon)
So, really, that could be the perfect name. I mean, part of the appeal of goth bands is their often atrocious names. Then you can use put-downs like "By the powers of darkness, Lucretia, this bands use of cold, distant synthesisers is almost as cliche as their name. I tire of the musings of 'Alien Bats From the Crypts of Zarathustra's sister, Jane'. Let us retire to my boudoir to swoon and read pre-raphaelite poetry."

Which ikon do you refer to? The Australian Ikon, or the British Ikon?

For the purposes of the post, it doesn't actually matter. But the Australians I suppose.
