According to Putnam's website, the band was formed "out of boredom around 3 am one morning in early 1997".

Some time later, the organiser of a "three day hardcore festival" at ] informed Putnam that a number of bands had pulled out of the event and asked him if he knew of any which could fill in.

The band played further shows in 1997, selling a ] at one of them. This was later released as part of Impaled Northern Moonforest's self-titled 7" vinyl release, which later became a cult classic; however, the song titles on the 7" are different from those on the demo, as Putnam lost his copy of the demo. Following a few other shows, the band split up.

Impaled Northern Moonforest's sole release - the self titled 7" - was released by ]. See below for a listing of tracks. Although the band is still technically defunct, there are plans for a new 7" entitled ''Return of the Necrowizard''. So far a single song, with that title, has been recorded.

==Song titles==
The creative process involved in conceiving song titles (sometimes considered by ] to be even funnier than those of Anal Cunt) consisted of "thinking of dumb sounding names thought would fit into that whole black metal thing". Here is a list of the titles that appeared on the 7" release:

'''Side 1:'''
# "Grim And Frostbitten Moongoats Of The North"
# "Forlorned Invocations Of Blasphemous Congregations Of Lusting Goat Sodomizing Sathanis"
# "Gazing At The Blasphemous Moon While Perched Atop A Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Forsaken Crest Of The Northern Mountain"
# "Bloodlustfully Praising Satan's Unholy Almightiness In The Woods At Midnight"
# "Nocturnal Cauldrons Aflame Amidst The Northern Hellwitch's Perpetual Blasphemy"
# "Transfixing The Forbidden Blasphemous Incantation Of The Conjuring Wintergoat"

'''Side 2:'''
# "Masturbating On The Unholy Inverted Tracks Of The Grim & Frostbitten Necrobobsledders"
# "Awaiting The Blasphemous Abomination Of The Necroyeti While Sailing On The Northernmost Fjord Of Xzfgiiizmtsath"
# "Lustfully Worshipping The Inverted Moongoat While Skiing Down The Inverted Necromountain Of Necrodeathmortum"
# "Awaiting The Frozen Blasphemy Of The Necroyeti's Lusting Necrobation Upon The Altar Of Voxrfszzzisnzf"

==Acoustic Black Metal==
In April ], the first Impaled Northern Moonforest fansite was launched. In October of that year, a ] ] was added to the site, and a community of fans soon formed to celebrate the hitherto mysterious and elusive band. Plans were made to release a ] and, with the exception of some pre-existing acoustic noise bands present on the forum, numerous one-man bands were spawned to contribute to this. The tribute album remains unreleased, awaiting the recording by Anal Cunt of a cover of "Return of the Necrowizard", but the Acoustic Black Metal scene is stronger than ever. One of the true bastions of the ], the scene comprises mostly ] males (alongside the occasional twenty-something) with acoustic guitars and ]-connected ], producing ]s dedicated to the Necrowizard, ], grimness, ], ], ], ], coldness and other such topics. The forum users have even created their own record label, ], to release the tribute album and their own music. Some ungreat and very very very very very very blasphemous ABM bands include (satanically of course): Nocturnal Blasphemy, Glacier of Hellfjord, Necro Satanic Kvlt Lord, Inverted Blasphemous Moongoats of Norway, Orgh, Fjord of Fury etc.

Revision as of 19:41, 16 October 2005

Seth Putnam (born May 15, 1968) is the founder of the grindcore/noisecore band Anal Cunt. He is also well-known for his side projects Angry Hate, Impaled Northern Moonforest, and You're Fired, among others.

Putnam is from Boston, Massachusetts and is of Irish descent. It also is occasionally rumored that he is Jewish, though this is most likely just a satirical joke (Putnam, himself, vehemently denies being a Jew).

In 1996, Putnam had a falling out with Six Feet Under frontman and ex-Cannibal Corpse vocalist, Chris Barnes, after an alleged fight between him and some of Barnes' roadies at a concert. Since then, Putnam has repeatedly challenged Barnes to a one-on-one fight, going as far as writing a song about how "Chris Barnes is a pussy." Barnes has yet to respond to this offer. Putnam also had a falling out with Hatebreed. The fight began after Hatebreed were told to go on before Anal Cunt and this angered many Anal Cunt fans. Jamey Jasta than responded to the crowd by claiming Hatebreed were more popular, sold more records than Anal Cunt, ranted that heavy metal "sucked" and that hardcore was the only good music. Jasta later spotted Putnam and got into a verbal fight with him. Putnam claimed that Hatebreed's friends formed a circle and starting punching each other after that. One of his lyrics stabs at Hatebreed and he also claims they lie about him all the time.

In October 2004, Seth Putnam had a seizure and fell into a coma for two months due to a heroin overdose. He was unable to reveal this information due to pending charges of drug use, which were recently dropped. His doctors, thinking he was going to be a vegetable for the rest of his life, were ready to pull the plug before he woke up. He is currently in rehabilitation.

Seth Putnam guested on Pantera's The Great Southern Trendkill. Phil Anselmo is allegedly a big fan of Anal Cunt.

Seth also takes time out to reply to his fans emails, unlike alot of other known bands.
