"""
Earlier today, in the Recurse Center Slack Room, one of my mentors jokingly suggested
a project idea for a "cool metal band generator." I thought that was a fun idea,
so I made one. Whether the names generated are cool or not is up for debate.

Some examples:
* asses vile
* enfeeble revocation
* dominie dying fetus
* overexercise nile
* brain drill meathook
