Naming my Metal Band

[Hiphophippo]

Actually, are there any samples of this music available online?

How about Generic Name? Seems to fit the angle you're going for.

Haha, this made me burst into chuckles (figure that imagery out) in the middle of my political science class.

Seriously, 99% of first-band metal bands seem to be trying for complete blandness.

And, to go along with the mainstream: Nuclear Prophecy seems to be the most-promising moniker, even though it, too, is begging for more life in its veins.

Also, if everybody in this thread will indulge me for a second, I've got a rant to get rid of.

[HEADING=1]Dear Metal Bands:[/HEADING] Please get rid of the notion that your band can only be cool by being 'Satanic'. I'm willing to bet the farm on you not knowing more than one form of Satanism. Associating your name with 'dark' and 'gritty' things only makes you fail harder.

Personally, I've always thought Of Iron and Oak is cool.

I would say Nuclear Prophecy out of the ones from your list. But how about something like "Amaranthe" (which means "unfading" in Greek, plus I just think it sounds cool)

 

[Hiphophippo]

Here, I'll offer my band's name to you. If you make it famous first you can keep it.

"Complex"

Choose whatever. But make sure you change your name to "Acapella", as you're leaving the pawn shop...I miss Mitch Hedberg.

How about, DONJE? It means nothing and is cool to say, BRING ON THE DONJE?

The J is pronounced like a regular J by the way.

Well we haven't recorded anything yet but our style is somewhere between Megadeth and Iced Earth.

I never said it was a Satanic band did I.

Whatever you choose, add some umlauts!

OOOH! How about, "Long Range Bowel Disruption"?

I SO vote for that one!

I was gonna Suggest the Flaming Walruses, but Long Range Bowel Disruption wins.

 

[Leaper]

Nah, but some of the names would imply it. If you are aiming towards more seriuos crowd I would try to avoid that.

 

[Withard]

Gopher & Doc

 

[S-Unleashed]

How about Wild Fire!

 

[Ciarang]

Lithium.

Just because I like the sound of it.

 

[Latinidiot]

Helpful tip.


Don't make a metal band.

FALSE!
OT: try something funny, I always geta bit tired looking at names like that.
