According to metal-archives, this band is referred to as: Eximperitus

...and I get that, when their original band name is:
Eximperituserqethhzebibšiptugakkathšulweliarzaxułum

(Which of course you already had figured out, from reading their logo?)
So, what is the deal with this band? I sense an obsession of extremely long titles within this band. Why else would you name you debut album:

Prajecyrujučy sinhuliarnaje wypramieńwańnie Daktryny Absaliutnaha j Usiopahłynaĺnaha Zła skroź šaścihrannuju pryzmu Sîn-Ahhī-Erība na hipierpawierchniu zadyjakaĺnaha kaŭčęha zasnawaĺnikaŭ kosmatęchničnaha ordęna palieakantakta, najstaražytnyja ipastasi dawosiewych cywilizacyj prywodziać u ruch ręzanansny transfarmatar časowapadobnaj biaskoncaści budučyni u ćwiardyniach absierwatoryi Nwn-Hu-Kek-Amon, uwasabliajučy ŭ ęfirnuju matęryju prach Ałulima na zachad ad ękzapłaniety PSRB 1620-26b

That's not normal. But kind of cool. They clearly wanted an identity of their own. When I first saw the bands name I thought, "shit, that's a whole lot of words merged together" (as it is), but then I saw the album title and thought "ok, that's pretty lengthy too". But what i didn't realize right away was that neither metal-archives or bandcamp has the capacity to write out the whole title. Their webpages simply does not support that much letters for titles. So...

This what you get on metal-archives:
Prajecyrujučy sinhuliarnaje wypramieńwańnie Daktryny Absaliutnaha j Usiopahłynaĺnaha Zła skroź šaścihrannuju pryzmu Sîn-Ahhī-Erība na hipierpawierchniu zadyjakaĺnaha kaŭčęha zasnawaĺnikaŭ...

This is what you get on bandcamp:
Prajecyrujučy Sinhuliarnaje Wypramieńwańnie Daktryny Absaliutnaha J Usiopahłynaĺnaha Zła Skroź Šaścihrannuju Pryzmu Sîn-Ahhī-Erība Na Hipierpawierchniu Zadyjakaĺnaha Kaŭčęha Zasnawaĺnikaŭ Kosmatęchničnaha Ordęna Palieakantakta...

And ones again, what I gave you, the whole title:
Prajecyrujučy sinhuliarnaje wypramieńwańnie Daktryny Absaliutnaha j Usiopahłynaĺnaha Zła skroź šaścihrannuju pryzmu Sîn-Ahhī-Erība na hipierpawierchniu zadyjakaĺnaha kaŭčęha zasnawaĺnikaŭ kosmatęchničnaha ordęna palieakantakta, najstaražytnyja ipastasi dawosiewych cywilizacyj prywodziać u ruch ręzanansny transfarmatar časowapadobnaj biaskoncaści budučyni u ćwiardyniach absierwatoryi Nwn-Hu-Kek-Amon, uwasabliajučy ŭ ęfirnuju matęryju prach Ałulima na zachad ad ękzapłaniety PSRB 1620-26b

Interesting to me though, is that when you start off reading the band name, you think it's long. But after reading the album title, the band name seems kind of lame in comparison. It's like nothing, or maybe normal. How strange.

I don't know what to think about this. Is it genius? Is it dumb? I'm pending in between. Maybe a little bit of both, as it usually are with these extreme approaches.

Of course we have seen this before with various bands. Maybe best known would be Nile with titles like:
Papyrus Containing the Spell to Preserve Its Possessor Against Attacks from He Who Is in the Water

Thats long, but I think Eximperituserqethhzebibšiptugakkathšulweliarzaxułum takes the cake after all. Because their song titles are pretty much the same as the album title. Get a taste of the opening track:
Transhręsiŭnaje ŭšęście Ęn-miendurana skroź pramianistuju dęĺtu Wialikaha Architęktara Al-Sadirah minujučy modusy času Ankh-f-n-Khonsu, niewiadomaha wartaŭnika wuzłoŭ Maa-Atef-F, da abicieli Adąda, wysmaĺwajučaha trysmiehičnym wiedańniem mistęryj sęfitaŭ Arual-Jøruvalla dahmatyčnaje traktawańnie Paradoksu Fiermi j pryčynnuju dynamičnuju tryjanhuliacyju Ancitętyki Ęŭklida, pierasliedujučy pieraradžęńnie ŭnutrana Razdwojenaha Čystaha Rozumu ŭ branach Chaohnozisa Ŭrytry, pasrodkam spaścižęńnia katęchizisa, rytuaĺnych samahubstwaŭ Aghōra, imia jakomu: N = R ∙ ƒρ∙ ne∙ ƒl∙ ƒi∙ ƒc∙ L

This seems to be a well-known band. I've never heard off it until this year and honestly didn't know it exists. It was added to metal-archives in 2014 but started out already in 2009. Their first release was a promo named "Promo 2013" because it was released that year. The title is short yes, but the song titles are long, so the concept was embraced early on. Their album came out this year, 2016, and seems to have been well received. Now days most people measure a bands success or fame based on how much likes they have on facebook.
Eximperituserqethhzebibšiptugakkathšulweliarzaxułum has exactly 18,347 likes when I'm writing this, so they should be pretty big. Of course it's also possible to buy likes now days, because all systems must be corrupt, but lets hope this band has their cred' well deserved.

I discovered this band browsing through the works of Pär Olofsson, the artwork artist for this release. Their name simply caught my eye and I had to find out what it was. This is a technical death metal band with a very slim modern production. So I can't tell you if it's any good, because I don't enjoy this type of Death Metal at all. Listen and decide for yourself. At least 18.000 people seems to have high thoughts about this project.
