Reaction w/ reason:

Lively Wasteland- ...just no.
Brightened Night- no, Oxymorons are cliche
Elegy- no, overused
Confined Sight-No, makes too much sense to be abstract, but too little sense to be "deep"
Abstract Reign- no, use of the word "abstract" takes away the abstractness
Hard to Swallow- no, would lead to a lot of laughs when you introduce yourselves on-stage
Anthem of Doubt- maybe, but still a little cliche
Immortal Calling- maybe
Fugue- too many people would pronounce it wrong and you would get annoyed
All Hope is Gone- no, full sentences make for a lot of people calling you something else because they don't want to take the effort to say them
Violent Saint- maybe
Numbered Days- ...maybe, but it's so-so
Lifeless Life- no, just no
To the Sons of Man- maybe, it's okay
Element of One- again, makes too much sense to be abstract, but not enough to make it meaningful
As the Palaces Burn- no, already a band named "As Cities Burn"
Sobriety Uprising- no, it sounds like an AA coup
Elect the Dead- maybe, it's okay
Metabolic- maybe, it's okay
Diluted- no, I don't know why, I just don't like it
Start a War- no, too much war already
Roulette- no, it just makes you seem like you don't know that it's actually called "Russian Roulette", even if that's not what you were going for
Torn Asunder- perhaps
Break the Sky- "Shatter the Sky" or some other verb would be better
Suffocating Sight- no.
Tread the Floods- another noun, like "Waters" would be better here
Ember to Inferno- maybe
Tomb of Doom- oh, god no...
Bomb Shelter- no
Abracadaver- ...no

Out of all of these, either "Break the Sky", or "Tread the Floods" with the modifications I suggested would be my favorites, but you could do better.

How about a verbose band name? such as: A Palace of Worshipping the Upcoming Apocalypse AKA Temple of Doom.

Phorpyrus Flax. It sounds sweet and you could print it like on fire or something.
Wouldn't that be a purple form of a flax plant? Isn't that kind of...not metal?
You could be going for irony, I guess.

You've got to be kidding me! Be honest, you did you just read off the back of some of your favourite albums for these didn't you?

I think the key to getting a good name for a metal band (without plagiarising other artists) is not to try too hard to make yourselves sound metal. Call yourselves something non-generic and try to actually stand out. The Fluffy Kittens perhaps? Or maybe The Morally Upstanding Young Gentlemen Of A Pleasant Demeanour

I call this one for my band!

Call it "Unknown Artist" and if you release an album name the songs "Track 01, Track 02" etc.
This would be make sorting through your music in Windows Media Player or whatever hilariously tedious for any potential fans.
