[OT] Cool name for a heavy/thrash metal band...???

[Andrew D. Gable]

Since many of the heavier bands have demonic names, why not follow this trend and splice it with your DnD geekiness. Yes, your band could be called Zuggtmoy, or hell, even Iuz. That is such a metal-sounding name, it's not funny. Besides, Kyuss has paved the way for DnD band names.

 

[Impeesa]

Is "Sons of Kyuss" taken? How about one I saw mentioned on another thread: "Giggling Morrus". Or maybe "Complete Sellouts", that'll convince everyone you're evil to the core right off the bat...

How about Thanatopsis................ nothing like a view of death

Killer Kong
(old cheapo computer game, but an awesome name)

Cheatin Ho's

 

[Dr Midnight]

Nothing I've read here is as good as the first name you suggested... for a thrash band, KILL FRENZY is a great name.

...and holy crap, was ArcOfCorinth ever right with these, presumably all culled from the BOVD:

"Pit Fiend
Lifedrinker
Mortal Hunter
Soul Eater
Wight
Devil's Tongue
Love's Pain
Red Fester
Forbidden Speech
Death by Thorns
Rapture of Rupture
Death Grimace
Darklight
Dance of Ruin
Morality Undone
Soul Shackles
Slash Tongue
Heartache
Slow Consumption
Darkbolt
Charnel Fire
Heartclutch
Despoil
Abberate or Abberation
Dread Word
Grim Revenge
Gutwrench
Soul's Treasure Lost
Mindrape
Crushing Fist of Spite"

Of those, I like Grim Revenge best.

I have several names for thrash bands, but as I've not yet joined a band, I'll not share them. Good luck though.

This is kind of OT on an OT thread, so does that make it MetaOT? Anyway...one of the coolest names for a band I've heard recently is 'Besh O Drom' ...they're a Hungarian band and I can't begin to describe their sound--but if you walked into a bar in Sigil, this is the kind of music that would be playing. They were featured on NPR's 'The World Show' earlier in the week. If you want to hear what they sound like, and believe me, they'd make great background music for a game, these sites have some samples:

Name your band:

Fredholm Alternative

 

[MarauderX]

or use a few names from EnWorld? There are some that pretty good and can be used outside of D&D. Take mine... doesn't MarauderX just send out cool vibes??

Angelslayer sounds good...it's from the BoVD. Or Pallida Mors. That's latin for Pale Death, I think...

Dougy Ray and the Pie Merchants.
