Hey guys. I'm trying to find some cool band names for my metal/rock band, and can't really come up with anything. Ideas? (NO BAND NAME GENERATOR PLEASE)
-
I've got a bunch of ideas for Rock Band names, trying to start one up myself. What sort of rock stuff do you play?
-
The Stationatiors :)
-
Wieners Aplenty
-
Kraftwerk.
-
@ NFX >
Stuff like avenged sevenfold, shinedown, disturbed...
-
Ah, okay. Does Chasm sound alright?
-
Pacific Trash Vortex would be my band name of choice, but that's, uh, an aquired taste...
-
Clockwork Hydra.
-
Various Artists, just to mess with people ;)
-
Gigaton
Powerbomb
Resurrection
Xplosive
Retribution
Malice
Legacy
Renegade
-
Gigaton
Powerbomb
Resurrection
Xplosive
Retribution
Malice

Make sure they're not taken
-
Chainsaw Suicide.
-
Snoop around the member list and the bot exchange and you're bound to stumble over some good names. :P
-
Or the Starcore AI Pack.
Neglected Waterbugs
Clockwork Hydras
etc...
-

Neglected Waterbugs
Clockwork Hydras

I think they'd sound better without the S's. It makes them sound like "sage and the neglected waterbugs" or somehting else made of 60s.
-
haha pwnator was right. sooo many cool names on the bot exchange.
-
The Wicked Udugs
They were the name of demons who caused disease and misfortune in the ancient Sumerian religion. Also, the name is quite catchy for some reason.
-
Gorilla Monsoon
-
Annihilation of Paradise
-
Violation
Tormentor
Subterranean
Undergrowth
Behind The Wheel
Erasion
Mental Disorder
What sort of music is the general order of the day in your band? Thrash, Hard Rock?
-
Ice pick lobotomy. :P
-
Under the wheels?
-
Limozeen
-
Limozeen
Teen Girl Squad
-
Honestly, words that are adjectives applied to people make good hard rock/nu-metal names, eg Disturbed, Avenged.
Satanic adejectives or nouns make good thrash names eg Helstar, as do destruction/killing related words, eg Annihilator, Overkill.
Religiously related words make good Death Metal names, Morbid Angel, Atheist
Try using that.
-
Limozeen
Teen Girl Squad
Taranchula
-
Burrowing Nose Wiesles or Rancid Pig Bile.
-
The Pustules
-
Really, we need to know what the sort of band is. What band would you compare it to?
-
Stuff like avenged sevenfold, shinedown, disturbed...
When I get a metal band going, I'm planning to have the name 3rd Floor Martyr.
-
Crush-Hour :trollface
Faceless Ones
When I have my metal band going I'm going to call Violation and I'm going to play thrash ;)
-
Lava Brain, End of Studidity, Assylum, Throbbing Volcano, or Bleeding Penicillin.
-
The Gun Slingin' Penguins.
-
Shinedown
Hatred
Demented
-

Why are these names always sound and look the damn same ?
-
black sheep wall (yeah Joe... I know but I think it sounds like a good name ;) )
-
Me and a classmate have been planning on forming a band, my main musical influences are around Death Metal and his are mostly Metalcore.
However we just can't think of a name yet. I'm not going to follow the common ways to make band names because I like originality, and no satanic stuff either because I don't like it (And on a side note I have my religious beliefs, while my friend is agnostic), so, sorry Sage but I can't help you at the moment :P
And I didn't really like the ideas thrown in here. I mean, I do like some, but I'm looking for something different.
Grande Quesadilla?
-
Limozeen
Teen Girl Squad
Taranchula
Burninators.
-
Limozeen
Teen Girl Squad
Taranchula

That's not bad. Trogdor's also a nice name. :P

Grog, the Vengeful

Disgruntled

But some are adjectives, they make good modern metal names, while the others for extreme metal are nouns.
Err, for Larrain, how about Rising Pulse?
-
How about, fluffy kitty...OF DEEEEEAAAAATH RAWRZZZ *punches cat*
-
I Wanna Smack Your Cat
-
Yes, sage's band name has to have SOMETHING to do with hurting cats!
-
Well here's the deal. At the moment our name is Abandon Sanity, which I never really liked but everyone else did. So i need something really good to change their minds.
-
Mutillated kittys?
I kinda like abandon sanity actually, what's your problem with it?
-
Oh, just seems a little.. idk.. childish. I always have this weird awkward feeling when I tell people our band's name is abandon sanity.
-
I understand, probably would go well in lyrics though...
Anyway, one word name's probably best if that's the kinda thing you're looking for, if I think of any decent ones, i'll post them for ya ;)
-
Clockwork Hydra would be an awesome band name.
-
^that^
-
Do you sing or just drum Sage?
-
Clockwork Hydra would be an awesome band name.
If I ever started a Rock Band, that'd be the name I'd choose.
Chopsticks.
-
If sage doesn't choose it, it's mine :evilsmile:
-
What about Nuclear Seagulls? :P
-
Limozeen
Teen Girl Squad
Taranchula

Chasing Sanity
Chasing Seagulls
Twisted Twilight (Sounds '80s hair-metally)
Midnight Meltdown
Chasing kill343gs
Descent
-
Tell us what type of metal bacause if it's modern thrash you need something like "flaming corpse" or "rotted Fetus" or "Christian anti abortion advertisement that is so fake #25"
-
I do like Clockwork Hydra. I'll see if it goes over well.
We're melodic metal with little to no screaming but heavy riffs.
Also, I can't sing, only drum. :P
-
That seems sorted.
Do you have access to recording equipment?
-
I can't sing, only drum. :P
An 80-year-old wierdie beardie on drums!?
MOM! I NEED TICKETS TO SEE CLOCKWORK HYDRA! NOW!
-
Hey, how about you post demos (when you eventually make them) here? We could give feedback on your guitarists riffs or something :evilsmile:
-
Naw, I'm just going to say it sucks so that they break up and I can steal the name :evilsmile:

We're in the process of recording at McNally Smith College of Music, but so far our recording techs are super busy and we've only been able to record my drum tracks.
However, we have almost all of our songs written out in Guitar Pro 6 (a tableture program that plays the tab for you) so I could burn a MP3 file of that if you want? It has all the drum and guitar parts we play, just no singing.
-
That would be great sage :mrgreen:

http://raw.gametechmods.com/Shhhh/Sage'sMusic.rar (http://raw.gametechmods.com/Shhhh/Sage'sMusic.rar)
There's 3 of our songs. Of course they sound much better when played on real instruments and with singing, but you can get the general idea of what we sound like.

I want to put a supercharger on my car and put that on my license plate :P
-
Also, I can't sing, only drum. :P
I smell the next Keith Moon :D. How about the name, anonomys?
-
It took us so long to write lyrics for it we just decided to call it Nothing Yet because we got so used to calling it that...
-
Guitar Pro 6? Is that out yet?
I've gotten a few songs kinda half-written in Guitar Pro 5 by myself.
Speaking of band names, what about Antagonyst?
-
Haven't decided on a name yet. We're sticking with Abandon Sanity for now, but hopefully we can change it sometime.
@NFX yea it's been out for a while I guess.
-
just change it before you become famous :P not after
-
I was expecting generic metalcore, but this actually sounds kinda awesome. Given the absence of vocals, the songs kinda feel too long though.
-
Writing lyrics has been my biggest problem as well.
-
There's nothing wrong in being an instrumental band. :P
-
You tend not to be as popular (unless your over-advertised in guitar hero-coughcough Endless Sporadic).
And the riffs could be slightly more original on the guitar, but they aren't weak.
-
Hm...name for a rock band...

-
yea the songs drag a bit without vocals for sure. I'll be sure to upload the demo/EP whatever once we finish recording. thanks for all the positive feedback!
-
An EP? :gawe: And have you set Clockwork Hydra in stone as the band's name?
-
Sage, just a note, do a number of styles on albums, because if you have an album that sounds the same you won't as compelled to buy future albums. So, considering your style, you should add, yes, a thrash song (but with choruses similar to the rest of your music) and an industrial metal song, since this will appeal to more audiences and please your natural audience with more varied music.

No, he should do what he wants :p
Music evolution comes naturaly, or sometimes it doesn't, not that that's neccesarily a bad thing (disturbed anyone?).
-
Fair enough. But if he does evolve, he should do it cautiously. :rolleyes:
Also, on a related but not very relevant note, check out my review of Cracked Brain by Destruction, which is on Sputnik.

Ha-haaaaaaaa...yeah, it was more to have the word "Agony" in the middle, rather than just deliberately misspelling things for no reason. Like Florida.
-
Just listen to Dragonforce. Every single album is equal to the last one.
And they are all really boring.
-
I have a friend who likes both them and
It blows my mind he can like Dragonforce when he has as high standards as shown elsewhere.

-
I like. :claping
-
The demos you uploaded earlier reminded me more of Children of Bodom (Beau-dom?) than anything, but the live performance seemed to have a little A Perfect Circle mixed in with some pretty standard modern metal.
I liked the guitar solo, I may go as far as to call it beautiful (or beau as they say in French). You seem to like your double pedal too.
I agree with you that "Abandon Sanity" seems kinda... immature(?) for a serious band, but my buddy's band is called "StrangeFruit" which is even worse for a metal/hard rock group. Unfortunately I suck at naming though, so I can't help you :(
-
For some reason that performance reminded me of American Head Charge even though both are nothing alike. o_O
-
The riff sounds so much more awesome live. I only watched the beginning and I like it. Thrashier than I expected too.
-
Thanks for all the feedback!
Of course, the sound was recorded on a average camera and the mix wasn't perfect, so it's not gonna sound great. This was our 4th show, and the guitarists had troubles playing their solos with all those people getting their hands in the way >.> The downpicking is a problem, but he knows about it and has been working to double-pick.
I do like my double pedal, but I try to variant the rhythms more than just straight 32nd notes. It is sorta a staple of metal music tho.
Remember, the mp3 is a computer version with no vocals. Will sound much better when we record it with real instruments.
@R0b0- I KNOW. I def wish we could come up with a better name. Also, stop picking fun at mine! :P
-
Needs moar Slayerish riffs.

download winamp.
Yea I was thinking he could sing over the midi... i'll ask him if he wants to try it sometime.

But he does have a beard... Can't you guys see it?

it's a magic beard. only true believers can see it
-

Beard Cult?
That can also double as a band name :D
-
I feel compelled to tell that anecdote about the only member of ZZ Top who did not have a beard being called Frank Beard.
I really liked the Fissure MIDI track, I'd love to be able to hear that one live.
-
Haha I don't know! I didn't write the guitar part.
Of course, district 12/8 was just a punny name i came up with to share it with you guys, haven't actually decided what to call it yet.
-
I liked it, although it is crushingly dissapointed to realise you don't look like gandalf :frown:
-
Oh, but he does Scorp:
it's a magic beard. only true believers can see it
Clearly, you are a heathen and a godless sorcerer. We shall burn you at the stake!
-
Well, the song's in 12/8 time, so i did a play on words with that one movie.
Also, we still need band names! like larrain said
-
Go to Wikipedia and hit "random page" The name of the page is now your band name.

We've come up with a few new ones...
Silent Spring
Mercury's Vain
thoughts?
-
typically trying to be hardcore sounding names :P
-
'course. If I had my choice we would be called Terror Turtles, but noooo we have to sound "mature"...
-
Trying too hard makes you sound like losers.
Why not just shorten the name to Abandon?
-
Killergeddon would be a good name.
-
Trying too hard makes you sound like losers.

already a lot of bands named that
is mercury's vain "trying too hard"?
-
I don't understand Silent Spring and do you mean "Mercury's Vein"?
-
Abadon would be cool, off kill's idea.
Below Ground would be another decent one.
-

Staggershock
Day of Judgement
Monolith
The Crusade
I like Staggershock.
-
Crusade or Monolith.
Probably monolith.
-
I prefer Monolith out of those five, personally. Though I reckon that sounds a bit more deathcore or something than what you've got going on now.
How about Affliction / Infliction?
-
Shackles of Life? Sounds fairly fitting.

I guess everyone liked silent spring so i pulled come concept art out my ass... thoughts?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/4921silentspring.jpg)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/47568band photo.jpg)
Personally I like it, how it's not too heavy but can still be cool. Supposed to be like a spring where all the sound is gone, such as like the birds aren't singing or something, i dunno. It's hard to come up with a band name that isn't taken, but this is pretty sweet. The other option was Murder Game, but i felt that was too emo. Please tell me your thoughts, i want criticisms or comments!
-
I actually kinda like it too.
-
First one looks less emo.
-
I'd go with the first one.
-
Nice! First one looks awesome. (would make a rockin' tee shirt for sure)
Second one looks decent... but the font is a bit too messy. Def not as nice as the first one.
-
Agree with all y'all.
My guitarist wanted a logo.. >.>
so i came up with this
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/75145logoidea.jpg)
-
Kinda generic but I'd say it'd do.
-
I'd add a little more color or texture but intreguing shape.
-

well yea it was just the shape. I can make it look much cooler or whatever.
@Enigma: no one's used it, as i know. by generic do you mean simple? i felt that a complicated logo is less memorable and sleeker. KISS- keep it simple stupid

Yeah, that's true. And that is kinda what I meant by "generic". But don't take it the wrong way though, I do like it.
-
It looks like a hurricane logo for a weather report.
-
This might be too late, but what about Maces and Eights?

the vines one was just an idea by my guitarist... not my best work but still looks cool
-
I really like the vines as a concept, but they definitely need more work.
-

Yea. All photoshop skill I have comes from RA2 splash making... maybe some graphic artists (oh hai joe :P) could possibly make a cool logo for me? :D
-
I especially like the middle one, with the fire and stuff. Don't know why, but I like that. I'm not sure if that shape's already been taken, though.
I also see the number 69 in it. Hehe. =P
-
Middle one is sweet and doesn't look too black metally.

-
Well, we actually decided against Silent Spring because our guitarist didn't like it and such.
Just changed our name last night to the final anthem, and got some good feedback for it after we won the battle of the bands last night as well.
-
I'm becoming a little fed up of the names (seriously, too generic-hardcore), but so long as the music's good I'm not bothered.
I'm not sure what they should cover. Silent Scream seems to be a good choice.
-
We can cover a bunch of avenged sevenfold (bat country, afterlife, second heartbeat) but haven't tried anything else. writing original stuff is more fun.
We wanted a generic name, soooo cool that you think its generic
I'll try and get some concept art up soon, unless someone else wants to give it a try haha
