Best-sounding band name
Original post

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 really think it's cool if a bandname either; perfectly reflects the music (Symphony X, Evergrey), has a multiple/double-meaning (Helloween, Blind Guardian) or is just plain bad-ass sounding (Lost Horizon, Masterplan).

I really love the name Katatonia, it has that gloomy vibe that i love. i know their music is gloomy, but when I first heard the name and not the music, that's what I got out of it (that and the name of a volcano god for some reason ).I also love the name Blind Guardian, it just oozes with coolness.

I always thought that The Lord Weird Slough Feg was an awesome name, but then they went and shortened it to the much less grandiose and more boring Slough Feg. Still a great band though.

Seeing the recent news about Agoraphobic Nosebleed got me thinking that's a solid band name.

For me it would be As I Lay Dying, because it's the last moment before you die, both sad, epic and often when you're supposed to say one of the most important things in your life, the name is epic, and when I tried to come up with an awesome bandname myself, I ended up with that name

I somehow like the name "Intronaut", very misanthrope, I'd say. It's an awesome for a dsbm / shoegaze bm band Couldn't believe when I listened that it was progressive/post-metal stuff o_O

I always thought DragonForce had a cool name. I mean it's cheesy as hell, but come on! A force of dragons! That's badass!

Good sounding and used - Zyklon, Overkill, Arch Enemy, Emperor, Nemesis, Exodus, Kreator, Therion, Agalloch...I like the name Extremely Flammable, I think it would suit a thrash metal band
