SUSPENDED  Posts: 3187 Joined: 7 Nov 2007     | All hope is gone and elect the dead... that wouldn't go well with the slipknot band or Serj, and the rest sound a bit "Naf" to be honest. In fact, none of those suit metal in my opinion. User was suspended for: Lock this.. (7 days) |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 794 Joined: 20 Dec 2007   | Well I was playing Rock Band 2 the other day and when you pick a band name it gives you a random name to start off with. I got names like Material Five and Fatal Hill. I don't think those names really make any sense nor do they mean anything, but I guess they sound kind of cool. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4604 Joined: 13 Aug 2008     | Blatantly Subliminal Both really great names in my opinion. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 58 Joined: 12 Dec 2008 | Well we dont really declare it a subgenre, we just do good ole metal like how As I Lay Dying used to and how Lamb of God does |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 374 Joined: 12 Jul 2008   | What kind of metal are you playing? Out of those, Elect the Dead were my favorite.
I like that one. |

Tomb of Doom in a room with a broom, Sorry, I was having fun. Now have your friends agreed to all of the items on this list? I have always gone for really odd and strange names, like my RB2 band is "Yalapalooza Pops". |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 931 Joined: 17 Sep 2008    | Do you have any names that don't fall into the category of "generic metal band". Why not choose a name more upbeat and not just depressive? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1587 Joined: 16 Aug 2008   | I think you should pick a band name that sounds cool but doesn't mean anything, like Dir en Grey. |

As I Lay Dying is subgenre'd as 'hardcore metal'. Or so many people I know seem to think. However, I'd suggest trying for something original man, cause well...most of the stuff you listed is not creative at all. My old band just renamed themselves Divinity In Death after their move to 'hardcore' |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 527 Joined: 8 Nov 2008  | Fugue is my favorite... but I would recommend using.... THE FUZZY LUMPKINS!!!! (I don't know why but I felt the need to say that) But honestly go for a name off the beaten path. Make people think twice when they hear the band name. Livin' In Dysentry (LOD....Lord of Destruction... see what I did there) Crime of Cholera I dunno just random stuff. I would be more likely to listen to a band with a weird name but maybe that's just me. |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 691 Joined: 23 Nov 2008 | Dont use a name thats a song/album title, thats just cheap and unoriginal. |

Time to put my blunt hat on. They are all terrible names. I mean godawful, foul creations. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 429 Joined: 26 Sep 2008  | If your planning on going serious (difficult depending on talent) then google a name before you use it and do a myspace search as well; for example as stated above elect the dead is an albumn from serj tankian (lead singer of system of a down), break the sky is already a band, ember to inferno is a trivium albumn, tomb of doom is a copy right board game and those are just the top of my head. If your just doing it for fun disregard that previous paragraph and call it whatever you like. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 807 Joined: 4 Jul 2008   | I like lively wasteland. Also, 7 Car Pile Up would be a good name for a band. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 60 Joined: 16 Aug 2008   | The Bengals That's depressing enough, right? Serious names: Banshee, Bakunawa (Phillipine god of the underworld, usually depicted as a sea serpent). Thats all I got. |

in this vein, name your band No It's My Precious. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1117 Joined: 14 Aug 2008   | Go with "The Lumberjacks!" ok I was more joking than anything there. |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 754 Joined: 2 Jul 2008 | A suggestion-A name I wanted to give to a band I made but I doubt I will ever make one- call the band 'Deadlight' or 'Deadlights' Its from Stephen Kings It. The Deadlights are another realm beyond ours that the monster from the book was created in. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 824 Joined: 12 Aug 2008  | My friend and I (who are the least metal people ever) decided if we ever start a metal band it'll be called Asphyxiation Catastrophe. The band would have 7 vocalists. One bassist (his bass would only have one string) and a guy behind four Bass drums all with double pedal. |

I vote for that. User was suspended for: I'm the Gears of War guy Yahtzee hates...because I think Gears of War wears the Arty Game label. (3 days) |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2093 Joined: 3 Dec 2008   | Go into a bookstore and look at book titles. They really often make good band names. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1210 Joined: 1 Nov 2008 |
I think that would make a great name for a metal band. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1253 Joined: 4 Jul 2008 | how about "State of Anarchy" |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1072 Joined: 22 Oct 2008 | How about "The Generic Metal Band" or "The Couldn't-Think-Of-A-Name Band"? Seems appropriate. |
Press Junketeer Posts: 429 Joined: 26 Sep 2008 | I would have suggested "The Harlequins" after the psychopathic group of the same name from "The Traveller" series of books alternatively if you can find any lovecraftian type phrases that arn't trademarked I suggest looking into them. How hardcore a metal group are you going for? Singing or screaming? Makes a difference in terms of possible names. |
