Please feel free to suggest more examples of (MS-listed) metal/rock bands that mention their band name in the lyrics of a song.

Note: The songs in this list do not have the band name in their title.
For those examples see: “Song Titles With The Band`s Name”.

Some of the bands listed here (“Band Name Drop”-list) have also self-titled songs that can be found in the previous list (“Song Titles With The Band`s Name”-list): Amon Amarth, Avantasia, Infectious Grooves, Nightwish, Rainbow, Rammstein, Sodom

Great and Smart list… here is a few suggestions

Kiss | Dr. Love / I know what your problem is
The first step of the cure is a KISS…
King Crimson | In The Court Of The… / [Refrain] For the court of the CRIMSON KING , aah Aah, aah…
Iron Maiden | Iron Maiden /IRON MAIDEN's gonna get you, no matter how far…
Motörhead | Motörhead/ MOTÖRHEAD , remember me now MOTÖRHEAD , alright…
Sodom | Sodomized / I need at last your private parts To satisfy my fucking pride SODOMized SODOMized SODOMized SODOMized…
Overkill | Overkill / Never heard, seen, then too late, OVERKILL seals your fate…
Queensryche | Queen of the Reich/ Your soul slipped away It belongs to the Queen of the Reich, The QUEEN OF THE REICH.

I suppose most of them dont count since they have the band's name in the song title.

Thank you very much for your nice comment, suggestions and support, Blackcrowe.

I have added the Kiss example to this list (because the band name is in the lyrics).

The other suggestions have the band name also in the title of the song. Those examples can be found in the list: “ Song Titles With The Band`s Name”.

Thank you very much, Blackcrowe. I have added. D. R. I. and Anthrax to this list.

Death is already in the "Song Titles With The Band`s Name" list, because it has the full band name in the title of the song.

I will keep the Judas Priest example in mind.

Uhm... Sepultura - "Born Stubborn"?

I don't know if that counts, but Metal Church has a song called "Metal Church", which obviously mentions the band's/song's name. If it doesn't, then here's "Bludgeon" by Forced Entry where the singer says "Relentless pushing on / Forced Entry at your back!"

Thank you very much, Metal God. I have added your Forced Entry example to this list - because the song has the band name (only) in the lyrics.

The Metal Church example has the name also in the title. I have this one in the corresponding list: “Song Titles With The Band`s Name”.

Thank you very much for your support.

Here I am to suggest Nevermore once again

Album: Dead Heart In A Dead World
Song: The Heart Collector

Nevermore to feel the pain
The heart collector sang
And I won't be feeling hollow for so long
Nevermore to feel the pain
The words fall out like fire
Just believe when you can't believe anymore

Another from Nevermore, from What Tomorrow Knows on their first album

To see life clearly, regretful nevermore

Vintersorg - Till Fjälls
Song: Asatider

Lyrics:

Hednahären leds av Vintersorg
I dagerns bleke över myrar och berg
De tappra hirdmän ifrån nordens borg
Med kämaglöden rotad djupt i sin märg, djupt i sin märg

King Diamond | Them | Song : Tea /"Wake up KING, wake up My dear I am gonna show You about the house of Amon"

missing this classic: Bathory - Woman of Dark Desires

Woman of dark desires
Woman of eternal beauty

Ok some additions to the list might be:

1) Heavens Gate - Gate of Heaven: "...we are all waiting for the Heavens Gate..." "...Heavens Gate wonder with lightning and thunder..." (I know has the words in the title of the song but not quite the same order but in the song actually appear as their band name)

2) Magic Kingdom - Symphony of War: "...The Magic Kingdom has to see the light again..."

3) Saurom- Mordonórienna (Hacia el País de las Sombras): "...Pondrías a una reina en el sitio de Saurom..." (This one is in spanish but still)

4) Stream Of Passion - Passion: "A dangerous Stream of Passion flows through my veins..." (The title of the song has the band name partially but the lyrics do contain it complete in the 1st verse)

5) Wizard - Hammer, Bow, Axe and Sword: "...with the help of the Wizard he gave them magic power..."

Thank you very much for all your interesting suggestions, valcrist.

You are right, the "Heavens Gate: Gate Of Heaven" example does not fit exactly. I had included it already in the “Song Titles With The Band`s Name” list, because at least all words of the band name were in the song title.

I have added all of your other examples to the list here, as suggested.

This gives me an idea for a new list: Bands that mention other bands in their lyrics.

For example, Stallion with the song Meltdown:
"Raise your iron fist
all hail to Judas Priest
heavy metal breakdown
fly the jolly roger
cry out “I'm a rocker!”
working class meltdown"
