Band names? Empty Band names?

Post by Philly Homer 2009-05-23, 22:19

So yeah, my band still doesn't have a name. Caustic was already taken, as was Lament Configuration. Doug wants it to be the Mayan death god, Cizin but that's a bit short. I was thinking about Equanimous Chaotic, but that's grammatically incorrect, even though it sounds cool. So yeah. Help me decide on a band name that would sound cool. We are playing metal, by the way.

Rules...

1. Should not be more than three words (that means we can't be called Papyrus Containing the Spell to Preserve Its Possessor Against Attacks From He Who Is In the Water. Cool song by Nile, by the way.)
2. Should sound cool.
3. No "The" or numbers in the name. We're not playing punk music.

EDIT - Well, Doug just sent me a suggestion that broke rules 1 and 3. He suggested "The Unit of Beings Who Materialize Instantaneously to Play Metal if the Sacred Words Are Uttered in the Divine Pattern of Correctness for the Purpose of Rock." Sounds so amazingly epic, but we would probably break a world record with that kind of name. So we'll have to scrap it, unfortunately.

Go latin, i didn't think anyone learned it anymore. I'm in Latin II right now.




@alka don't know any good band names. I would need to listen to more metal to even understand the genre.

MNIM, if you've nothing to contribute to the thread other than just cursing at me for making generalizations, then kindly shut up and get out. And no breaking world records for us. The bass player disagrees with our epic idea.

@Other people - I've been thinking about having a Latin band name. It would sound cool. Welsh would be cool too, but I have no idea how to pronounce Welsh stuffs so it'd be slightly weird having a Welsh name.

What kind of personality does your band have? What instruments?

Knowing none of this, I'll just try a random cool-sounding name... Lightning City Shout.

Nevermind that's not cool enough. I'm not good at cool bad names. I'm good at awkward, humble, classic rock-ish names. Like my band. "Us Guys."

Heh. Alright, we play metal. From Def Leppard to Morbid Angel. But we will never play hardcore. Awkward names are okay. It's like naming a brutal death metal band Hello Kitty.

We're a three-piece group with one E-guitar player and one bass player and a drummer (me).

Name sounds good, but it doesn't really fit with our band. We don't do screamo music, which the name seems to imply.

We've got multiple ideas already that'll work, but now we just need to agree on it. (The Unit of Beings who Materialize Instantaneously to Play Metal if the Sacred Words are Uttered in the Divine Pattern of Correctness for the Purpose of Rock...)

That Latin sounds a bit iffy.

DW, I thought you were doing drama?

Some Latin suggestions:

Dolor (regret)
Gubernātor (helmsman)
Infractus (broken)

I don't curse at you for making generalizations, so I would appreciate it if you would stop grasping at straws to find a way to simply criticize me.

All those Latin names sound really cool. I'll be discussing it with the guitar player today. Gonna go practice now.

well, sonic scream might work, scream doesn't have to belimited to screaming vocaly, perhaps a guitar "scream" or something like that, a sort of trademark, i don't know. And yes, I'm studying Drama, but I have to take multiple courses of different variety to get a degree, and so for my languages I'm going to take a stab at latin

You're digging into Latin?

Congrats!

@ Alka

Yeah, sonic scream is a pretty good name.

You don't forget it, and it's just cool sounding.

I say go with it!
