Best-sounding band name
Original post
Posted by Valentin B, 16.12.2008 - 08:24
this topic is about everyone's favorite band name. it might sound cool, philosophical, or just plain "metal", name it.
my favorites are Rata Blanca(pronounced in the latin fashion like we romanians do it sounds pretty damn good, has like a special ring to it, though if i'm not mistaken it actually means "white rat"
), Iced Earth, it sounds pretty epic, the first time i heard it i imagined some kind of frozen tundra landscape, pretty much like in their self-titled song. also, 3 inches of blood sounds pretty close to their sound, very brutal, i got the image of some kind of medieval crusader slaughtering frenzy out of it. like i said, pretty close to their sound 
don't forget to explain a little why you like some of these bandnames.

I enjoy all those brutal names, those dangerous ones you know. Such as, Pig Destroyer, Pitbulls in the Nursery, Bloodbath, Cephalic Carnage. and for more 'epic' names, i like Kronos or Emperor.

My Dying Bride always conjures up quite a depressing image of dying love. From a comedy point of view though it has to be Prosthetic Cunt!

For me classic metal bands have the best names. Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Guns N Roses, these are some good names. Then their are some classic rock bands with good names like, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and even AC/DC, and Deep Purple.

Fuck...I'm dead. B-Movie Monsters, Gnarkill, Portugal. The Man. , <-if they had a chick parody band, I imagine it to be called Hungary. The Woman. lol Slayer, HORSE the band, Fall of Troy (before that, they were called 30 years war, clever) Megadeth, dinosaur jr., obituary, sleepytime gorilla museum, sparklehorse, Pink Floyd, Tool, led zeppelin, 36 Crazyfists(named after Bruce Lee movie), leaves' eyes, just to name a few I like all these cuz they're so effin original and simply named. that and naming your band after history or a bruce lee movie is awesome

Anathema is really cool name for a metal band IMO. band name shouldn't be stereotype like Darkane or Machine Head and... and shoudn't have cliché words like funeral, scar, tear and.... band name should suggests only the band that mean when u search the band name in google or something u should only find band. for example Death  :)

Anaal Nathrakh...people always assume a typo, and are like 'Why are they called Anal Nathrakh?' and just generally I like Electric Wizard, and Nachtmystium.

If I recall, I remember that there was a band just called "!!!" once. Made me laugh my ass off, and at the same time, smirk at it's genius.

Written by Lucifer123 on 15.04.2009 at 20:38  Yepp, Rotting Christ is a great name for band. I however am sucker for bands that end with the suffix -IA; Tristania for example sounds great to me, as well as Sirenia, Imperia... Otherwise I also like: Moonspell (especially within their album title Under The Moonspell), Satyrcion, Necrophobic, Septic Flesh, Graveworm and Theatre of Tragedy.

Raping Corpse to Sacrifice The Moon or Excruciation of Nose & Feet Cutting Off. It's like they've gone through a dictionary & just strung a whole sentence together to use as a band name.

I really like Six Feet Under gets right to the point. Dark Tranquillity is also perfect for the band, gives an apocalyptical feel, everything is tranquil but in a dark way, but the tranquillity also goes well with their Melodic edge. Cradle of Filth is one of my favorites. Of course one word thrash metal names kick ass, Slayer, Metallica, Exodus, Overkill, Testament... Blasphemy is a brilliant name for an extreme metal band too. And Rotting Christ is brilliant. There's loads more...

Written by Jan Destiny on 30.04.2009 at 13:33 lol many musicians(often of questionable skill) confuse Budapest with Bucharest when they play here, and it's half funny and half revolting to hear "GOOD EVENING BUDAPEST!!!" lol i heard David Coverdale said "Good Evening Buda...charest!!" when he played here that would be a great funny name for a romanian band, Hello Budapest or something lol
