Why ETC was unable to form his own HotS rock band

First attempt

Genre: Terran hard rock

Lineup
ETC	Lead guitar
Raynor	Vocals, rhythm guitar/piano
Tychus	Bass guitar, back vocals
Sergeant Hammer	Drums, back vocals

​

Band history: The band's wildly successful demo song Sweet Home Koprulu Sector led to a contract offer by several music labels. Unfortunately, a fight over the band's name ("Raynor's Rednecks" vs Sgt. Hammer's Lonely Hearts Club Band ) caused the band to quickly fell apart. ​

​

Second attempt

Genre: Progressive death metal

Lineup
ETC	Lead guitar
Abathur	Vocals
Arthas	Rhythm guitar, back vocals
Diablo	Bass guitar
Leoric	Drums

​

Band history: The band had an early success with their single Demon of the Swarm. However, the rest of the band got fed up with Abathur's over-complex compositions and arcane, minimalist lyrics. A new direction was needed.

​

Third attempt

Genre: Melodic black metal

Lineup
ETC	Lead guitar
Murky	Vocals
Abathur	Keyboards, back vocals
Arthas	Rhythm guitar
Diablo	Bass guitar
Leoric	Drums

​

Band history: Abathur was delegated to keyboards+back vocals, and his death metal grunts were replaced by black metal shrieks. The ideal vocalist was found in Murky. A successful debut album was released containing Death Magick for Adepts and the instant hit I am Murloc. However, Murky's behavior got more and more out of hand. After multiple incidents including sliming the entire audience during a stage dive, octograbbing female fans, and a shark too, Murky was fired, and the band disbanded.
