Primordial Silence or Unholy Defiance. The latter is pretty cool, while the former is just made of awesome.
I was going to name my band Rape Trauma but the others didn't like it for some reason - go ahead you take it.
"Woo It's Power Extreme Metal Yeah And Sonic Suckage".
Or just WIPEMYASS for short.
Sorry, not a fan of power metal cheese. How about 'Gorged On Saints'?

Yeah I'm more of the song writer, but the rest of the band members saw I have some creativity and lumbered me with everything including naming the band and designing the logo, so I'm a little wired and burnt out atm xDstarfox444 said:
I would say you should go with a anme that isn't really definitive and (for god's sake) try to use something non cliche and somewhat original.
For example, some names that simply sound good, but you can't say what exactly they are playing and have some sutle depth (can't say how exactly original are they though):
Nile (their lyrics are mostly about egyptian an mesopotamic culture, customs, myths, and since river Nile is was extremely important in ancient Egypt that name is pretty fitting)
Augury (well their are some pretty progresive death metal band with lyrics about all sorts of crazy shit, actualy pretty much any band could use this name, but either way it just sounds good)
Aeternus (well interesting, quite cathy I would say, name, doesn't define anything either, but is fitting as well)
Meshuggah (Hebrew and Yiddish word for ?crazy?, sounds quite interesting and leaves you thinking "Meshuggah, wtf does that mean?". Also that name is quite fitting for their lyrical themes)
You get what I'm saying? Just don't use something generic, I would say use one word and spend some time thinking about which way your band is going and try to think of a name that has some kind of sutble meaning with you music but also is quite interesting and cathy.
