Although im not a fan of black metal i just really liked "Emperor" it has that strong powerful vibe for some reason

Black Sabbath - the original, the best! Of course, they got the idea for the bandname from the old horror film of the same title. When a band like Black Sabbath (and the aforementioned Judas Priest) is so well known, you don't really think much about the name, because people say it all the time. But when you take a moment to think about it objectively, you appreciate how interesting it sounds and how the meaning could be interpreted. Many bands have 'Black' or 'Dark' in their bandnames, but 'Black Sabbath' still sounds the most sinister IMO.

I have to say, Deicide rolls off the tongue quite nicely. Deicide means the killing of a god, which is fucking perfect. Vaginal Jesus is a perfect band name for a 'Hatecore' band hahaha.

What the fuck is hatecore? I have a lot of hatecore toward stupid genre names.

Basically, it's exactly what you think it is. Highly offensive and racist lyrical themes, (sounds like shit lol). Here's a link to one of their songs.

I've heard Vaginal Jesus before, I'm just saying hatecore is the stupidest genre name I have ever heard. Seriously. Lets just start classifying Megadeth as politicore while we're at it.

Fates Warning. That's such a kick ass name. It just sound so powerful, makes me wanna clench my fist and raise it high.

No. The most retarded genre names are stuff like this:

Oi! (a well known style of punk)
Shoegaze (a kind of melodic soft music)
Unblack metal (also known as 'black' metal, christian black metal or white metal)

And a lot of made-up genres like

Immortal darkart
Blackness music
Necrogoat metal

which are usually made up by shitty wannabe black metal bands.

On topic however, band names that sound awesome to me would be:

Gospel Of The Horns
Grand Belial's Key'
I Shalt Become
Insect Warfare
Jungle Rot
Limbonic Art
Vacuum Era Gelid Atmosphere AKA (V.E.G.A.)

Best band names for me are: Dream Theater, because it sounds like anything seems possible in it. Mastodon, sounds like a name of giant metal beast. Also, I liked Metallica until Cliff Burton passed away, and I think their band name is really cool. Once you hear the name, you know what you are in for.

MESHUGGAH

You cant be a sissy-boy band with that name.....you need elephant balls to carry a solid name like that around man. Eat a drumset for breakfast and floss your teeth with guitar strings yeah!

Fates Warning. That's such a kick ass name. It just sound so powerful, makes me wanna clench my fist and raise it high.

Basically all shitty, generic and thoughtless names like that just gives me a headache. Pretty much all of those Core names too. "Die for life, tripping in dog shit, flailing romantically" thoughtless, crap sounding names like that.

Personally, I like names with meaning to the music, and simply roll off of the tongue.

Such as Ensiferum, Septic Flesh, Behemoth, Cynic, Equilibrium, Limbonic Art, Martriden, Iskald, etc.

Some of those meaningless ones are okay too, that sound like they were created by a J.R.R Tolkien fanatic.

You gotta be kidding me Fates Warning is a sweet name, Septic Flesh is a name that some kid in high school would go around saying something like "yeah man my favorite band is septic flesh because it sounds so different and cool that what YOU guys all listen to. Look at how cool i am. I like a band named Septic Flesh"......meh, thats was stupid man, back it up. Septic Flesh doesnt roll offf the tounge.

I'll basically use what you just said against you. Fates Warning, is the kind of shit name that I hear every single day at my school by emo fags chanting when they're practicing their roundhouse kicks. Anyway, to each their own. I think they just suck ass.

Your fuckin retarded dude no way. Ive never heard some kid walking around taking credit for a band that hold so much weight like fates warning who basically fronted along with Queensryche the birth of progressive metal. Kids arent that sophisticated when im comes to metal like that these days. But i have seen kids walking around like "oh my god slipknot and mushroomhead are so hard core dude, im gonna claim i like bands that scare off all the preps and jocks to prove my individuallity and by the way, septic flesh sounds cool too man how scary, hoy hoy." get outta here man.

Agoraphobic Nosebleed is pretty sick. fits their style of music perfectly. plus they made up the best DJ name ever: DJ RECTAL ANARCHY ! WOO!

Ok, this may be out of thread...
i think that one-word bandnames are very good, and makes u even very curious or very shoked, like
Rage
Death
Tool
Down
Grave
Pain
Agalloch
Nirvana

when u listen to those oneword bands the first time, u just have the feeling that it's incomplete, u always focus and expect to hear more, n hope the band to be brilliant and blow ur mind, bcz the name is short, and may have that metal feel and the wide and big meaning like Death, Rage........... i like that kind of feeling, maybe others don't, cz the big fuck is when the band suck...

on the other hand, when u first listen to a two or three words bands, u somehow feel a kind of relax, like Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, Bolt Thrower, Cannibal Corpse Eternal tears of sorrow, Cradle of filth, My dying bride...and it's kind of ""Ok, the band knows what they're doing, it's very clear""

offcourse it's not necessary of all bandnames, but this what often happens with me...
anyway, that was out of thread, my best sounding bandnames are, Emperor, Death. even the name Muse (rock band) is very good

Why are you trying to insult me? I said to each their own and left it at that.

But whatever, you sound like an arrogant asshole.

I like Immortal and Anorexia Nervosa, but Emperor and Hades Almighty are my favorites.

Quo Vadis is kinda good sounding band name, but I still didn't managed to find out what does it mean exactly Does anyone else know maybe?

Apparently it means "where are you going"!

For one-word bandnames, I always thought the British Death Metal band called Cancer had a very effective name. It's very simple, but the word 'Cancer' is quite powerful, as most people are pretty terrified of it and it affects so many people. Some people even seem to be scared of using the word, and use phrases like 'the big C.' instead. So it's quite shocking and gets a reaction, without being OTT and silly.

Equilibrium flows real well. I also like Cor Scorpii and Darkthrone.

Anorexia Nervosa sounds really powerfull.
And bony.
