Phonaesthetics
Phonaesthetics (from the Greek: φωνή phōnē, "voice-sound"; and αἰσθητική aisthētikē, "aesthetics") is the study of the inherent pleasantness (euphony) or unpleasantness (cacophony) of the sound of certain words, phrases, and sentences.
The closely related but different concept of phonaesthesia should be distinguished from this meaning. Phonaesthesia does not refer directly to aesthetic attributes of sound, but to phonetic elements that are inherently associated with a semantic meaning.
Euphony
Euphony is used for effects which are pleasant, rhythmical and harmonious. An example of euphony is the poem Some Sweet Day.
Observe the symmetry of the lines and how the last syllable in the first three lines rhyme. Poetry is considered euphonic, as is well-crafted literary prose. Important phonaesthetic devices of poetry are rhyme, assonance and alliteration. Closely related to euphony and cacophony is the concept of consonance and dissonance.
Cacophony
Cacophony consists of harsh, often discordant sounds. These sounds are often meaningless and jumbled together.
Cacophony (album)
Cacophony is the second studio album by English anarcho-punk band Rudimentary Peni. It was self-released in 1988 on their own imprint record label, Outer Himalayan.
Background
Cacophony's entire track list and lyrics were inspired by the life and stories of early 20th century horror author HP Lovecraft.

The Ninja
by: CacophonySomeone's read into the race.
They've seen behind me,
Words so brave.
On the left, where righteous men
And horror meant close to a end.
The characters changed,
From inside my mind.
One less change, one man to live.
Ninja! Ninja!
Sword made of steel, the Ninja in red,
Destroyed one ten minutes part
Some distant to fear
Demons waiting away from the best
Ninja cries out desperately,
With a urgency raised.
The characters changed,
From inside my mind.
One less change, one man to live.
