What is in your opinion the best band name ever? Also write a little explanation please.

Mine is Rompeprop (dutch for Torsoclot) . The guys from the band where watching some freak show or something on the tv and there was a lady on it with some huge tumor in the area of her torso and one of the guys screamed "Da's ne grote rompeprop!" (That's a big torsoclot!). It might not appeal to non-dutch speaking people, but it's kinda "funny".

I dunno I think Godflesh is a pretty clever, non typical name; almost an oxymoron.


Yeah I was gonna post that one... And Streetcleaner is also in my list of one of the best albums titles.

I think my favorite band name at the moment has to be Eyehategod... I just love how it sounds and it is as in your face as the music. They also have kickass album names like "Take as needed for pain" or "Confederacy of ruined lives".

Other awesome names imo:
- Acid Bath
-Agents Of Oblivion
- Diablo Swing Orchestra
- Electric Wizard
- Explosions In The Sky (not metal ut still awesome)
- Lifelover (cheesy as hell but it suits the band oh so well...)
- Melechesh
- Neurosis
- Sigur Rós (same as Explosions...)
- Skepticism (I dont know... I like how it sounds.

Most of my favorite band names are old school death metal with simple one or two word names. Immolation, Dismember, Morbid Angel, Grave, Merciless, Entombed... Nothing really fancy about them, but it just gets the point across. Dismember makes you feel like your limbs are being cut off, Morbid Angel sounds like... A Morbid Angel

For me the best names are the simple ones that conjure cool mental images, like Blind Guardian, Armored Saint, Scar Symmetry, Deathspell Omega

I've probably mentioned this before but I think Deathspell Omega is a stupid name. They'd be far cooler abandoning the "Deathspell" part.

- Acid Bath

When I first heard of the band Acid Bath I laughed, because I remember when I was in elementary school I thought if I ever started a band, Acid Bath would be the name I'd choose. Someone stole it.

Don't think I can choose a "best" but a few off the top of my head that I like are:

Vehemence (The word sounds "powerful" or something, to me anyways)
Severed Savior (I like the alliteration)
Impaled Nazarene (I like how it's a "violent" word paired with a sort of "pretty" sounding word, for lack of a better way to describe them)
Funeral Inception (Not sure why I like this one)
Monstrosity (Another good "old school" death metal name)
Aborted (Short and sweet)
Fuck... I'm Dead (Makes me smile, although it's a bit stupid I guess)

... and one that I can't decide whether it's a good name or a horrible name:
Drown Retarded Children (So blatantly offensive I couldn't help but sorta laugh and shake my head when I first saw it, and very blunt, there's no "deeper" meaning to it, nothing to misinterpret, although it could just be, or more likely is, a cheap attempt to gain attention through shock value)

These used to be a portland crust band called Fuck God in the Face. I have a hard time finding any of their music on the interwebs nowadays though. Still, there name always amused me.

Worthy mentions:
EYEHATEGOD
Anal Cunt (i hate these guys with a passion, but their name makes me lawl)

I really couldn't tell. However I found most death metal's band gore names (Disembowelment, Cattle Decapitation, Dying Fetus, you get the picture) to be too cliche to like, hence they turn lame in my book


Cattle Decapitation is pretty clever considering the irony of it.

Off the top of my head:

-Nekrogoblikon (I thought it was clever)
-Graves at Sea (makes me think of a viking burial, which is cool)
-Black Sabbath (Classic, evil sounding, etc)
-Vaginator (self-explanatory)
-D.R.I. (Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, I don't know, just love the name)
-Mortuary Drape (love the morbid, depressing sound of it)
-Demolition Hammer (I just picture a giant ass fucking metallic hammer smashing a building)
-Flagitious Idiosyncrasy In The Dilapidation (Trying saying that 5 times fast, incredible all female Japanese grindcore, btw, the way those type of vocals come out of such a small chick, are amazing)
-Satanic Cumshot (it's funny)
