Heavy metal band names
Posted by Olthwaite on 2 March 2010 - 11:18am.
I never ceased to be amazed how heavy/death/thrash metal bands can up with so many names associated with death, decay, destruction and the devil.
For example, at Rio's in Leeds on April 1, Suffocation are supported by Annotations of an Autopsy, Fleshdog Apocalypse and Burning the Masses. On May 4 it's Rotting Christ and Dead in the Woods. Decayed Messiah are on in Bradford later that month.
Have you come across any outrageous metal band names? Or have you made up any yourself?
Here are mine - Dogthrottle, Agamemnon, Furious, Pulchritude(sounds worse than it is)
- More from Olthwaite.

Not death related
but I once heard of a band called Ringbinder. Either a mundane stationery based name or one redolent of gastrointestinal discomfort, depending on your point of view.
Isn't there a book listing all the metal bands ever?
Well, no, because Magwytch (note the none-more-metal 'Y') aren't in there. I checked. Later stripped down to a three piece and became Brute Force and Ignorance - there were Rory Gallagher covers involved, and my Dad made a point of asking which of us was which...

Northern Witchcraft?
Epic.
A.C.
There is a band called A*** C***.
The name was chosen because it was the most disgusting thing they could think of.
What?
Alan Carr?
Easy to confuse
I realize. I meant the "Hitler Was a Sensitive Man" hitmakers.
Alan Carr, as far as I can tell, is not a band.

I don't know about outrageous
but Destroyer 666 surely have the classic metal name? And the "o" has an umlaut above it, of course, but I can't get my keyboard to do that.

Only wished
I had copyrighted the name of my imaginary heavy metal band now.

You may have missed your true calling Patrick. Official namer of death metal bands. Just the right mix of horror and humour. Brainscab though, that's putting me off my crumpets (without Marmite, though it has been known)

Our band.
When I was at sixth form, our band swung between two names. Sometimes we were The Unhugged Teddies, at other times The Axewielding Satanic Warlords. (Random lyric: "Warlords, warlords, riding from Hades / With screaming steel and flashing blade-ies")
Some people accused us of not taking ourselves entirely seriously. Mostly because Dan, our very, very fine drummer, spent most of his time behind his kit doubled-up with laughter at the attempts the rest of us were making.
I preferred the Warlords incarnation.
