It is not uncommon that album titles are chosen after the band`s name. However, song titles that include or are identical to the band`s name are relatively seldom found.
This is a list of song titles with the (entire) band name / band names after (their own) song titles.

Please feel free to suggest further titles/bands.

1.71TONMAN - 71TONMAN

2.A Feast For Lampreys - Graveyard Abyss

3.Aaskereia - Mit Raben Und Wölfen

4.Absent In Body - The Abyss Stares Back - Vol. V

5.Absu - Absu

Had been wanting to do this for a while, title's pretty self explanatory. Black and doom are my two favorite metal subgenres, and when the two are combined into pure melancholic chaos, I scream like a little girl. I decided to take a broad approach with this one and include blackened sludge bands as well, as I think doom and sludge have similar origins and can fall under the same general banner. *Translation: I don't care if you think they can't. As usual, suggestions are both warmly welcomed and appreciated. Limit one album per band.
