I don't really know how to name the title so if anyone has any suggestions let a rip.

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.

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

kinda like people saying and naming Columbia instead of Colombia

yeah but at least it sounds almost the same

Same thing happened a few times in Budapest too. Hard to understand...
...And the band Hello Budapest will be realese a Live concert DVD called "Live in Bucharest... or Budapest"

i didn't know people confused the city with Bucharest too lol i only thought it happened to us since we're the "lesser" city

and yeah, that should be pretty epic, "live in Bucharest", the front and the title written in Hungarian, and with a photo of Budapest on the cover and on the back everything in Romanian lol

These band names always sound cool to me:
Falkenbach

falkenbach sounds really cool to me also, though i've never listened to them any idea what the name means?

Falkenbach means "runnel of the falcons"

I love the band name Vaginal Jesus, although I disapprove of their racist lyrics.
Hmm, best band name... Always loved Chimaira. Simply because it sounds awesome.

I always though Mayhem was a wicked name. Perfectly sums up the band and their music. They also have a kicks ass logo to boot!

Hate to blow my own trumpet but we were all pretty proud of our current band name...

"Tungsten Riff"!

Anal Cunt is a lame name.
on topic: Pungent Stench is one of my favorites.
Gorefest, Arkhon Infaustus, Leng Tch'e an Excess Of Cruelty are very nice names imo

You got ninja'd.

But yeah, glad to see someone agrees with me. I just think the name is simple, like the music. Offensive, like the music... Overall a punch in the face, like the music. It just works in all angles so that's why I picked it. They couldn't have choose a more perfect name for the music they create.

I got what? ninja'd, what that even means?

Yeah man, I acutely searched for a topic like this, 2 weeks ago, just to post their name in it, believe that? I'm in love with their name, but the funniest thing when you mention their name a front of people, Eyehategod = I-hate-god, classic.

EDIT: haha

ninja'd means:

I prefer names that seem to have more of a meaning behind them. Listing bands like Mayhem or Grave isn't really my thing, though I tend to listen to such bullshit; the name is nothing special.

A Forest Of Stars and Secrets of the Moon are two of the greatest band names ever... but that's just like my opinion man.

For me, it's the opposite. I find stuff like Behemoth, Mayhem, Grave, Entombed, Immortal.. alot catchier than A Forest Of Stars.

I like more techy names, Like Vektor, Trivium, RazOr, SPECTRE, shiat like that, Death Metal and black metal band names have some of the lamest names, except for a few, Like Vader is a cool name, but shit like Bolt Thrower, Anal Cunt, and Canibal Corpse is pretty wack.
