Not really a fan of the band, but !T.O.O.H.!'s actual name - The Obliteration Of Humanity, is one hell of a name. Destroyer 666 is badass, Gorgoroth is bitter, but this one is just daunting.

You say it and you're like... whoa dude...

Shame, people.

Death. Death is an awesome bandname. The only name that's better is Megadeth.

It had to be done!

Anyway... Judas Priest. Or Sabaton. A "sabaton" is, if I recall correctly, a piece of armour placed on your foot. This band doesn't think too highly of themselves, it'd seem. They're humble, which is rare in the world of metal.

Speaking of metal, the band Metal. Or Alestorm. A storm of... of beer! A bunch of drunken scottish pirates in a storm of beer!

Finntroll's pretty awesome too.

And while we're at it, why not "Frog and the Porn" from Malaysia, with their 2006 demo This Day All Frog Must Die?

The be-all end-all of metal band names: SODOM motherfuckers!

I think Nuclear Assault is badass, and their name really encapsulates the fears and anxieties of the Reagan era, hurhurhur. There are also some cool names that I don't know the meaning of, like Queensryche and Thyrfing. I also really like the anti-christian names like Impaled Nazarene and Rotting Christ, that's fucking metal.

Megadeth is probably my favorite band name. It's just so insanely brilliant. As if death wasn't bad ass enough they had to be Megadeth! Without the A! They're that awesome. Hehe...

Others I like: Black Sabbath, Helloween, Kiuas (sauna stove in Finnish, perfect for a pagan power metal band), Morbid Angel and Wolfpack.

I've always been partial to Anaal Nathrakh. Sure, it reads ike Anal Nutsack, and I'd never wear one of their shirts for that reason, despite how cool their logo is, but just say it out loud. It sounds so... vitriolic.
-Black Sabbath.
-Blut Aus Nord. Yeah, it's grammatically incorrect and all, but it sounds cool.
-Cryptopsy is a pretty good joining of words, kind sounds like a word of it's own rather than a clumsy amalgamation. I have no idea how there aren't any bands called Gravaged going around either.
-Decrepit Birth
-Deicide of course, it's just badass.
-Demolition Hammer
- Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Boring band, but that name always makes me smile.
- Impaled Nazarene
- The Lord Weird Slough Feg. Not a huge fan of the band, but the name always puts a smile on my face.
- Loudblast. Come on, Loudblast. LOUDBLAST!
- Marduk. Probably my favourite of the demon names out there, maybe Belphegor too.
- Sadistik Exekution. Idiotic bludgeoning in word form.
- Thanatos
- Zyklon

Ulcerate is a name that that strikes me. I'm still not sure whether it's really a good name or not, but it's certainly memorable.

I'm honestly surprised we're on page two and no one has said Black Sabbath or Motörhead.

I mean, seriously... MOTOR-FUCKING-HEAD. If there's anything that should scream "heavy metal" to someone, it's that name right there.

There's also just something aesthetically appealing about Voivod's name. It seems to fit so well with their whole shtick.

A lot of classic heavy metal bands. I mean even if the names Judas Priest or Iron Maiden weren't initially cool, now we all think they are.

Also some Death bands like Death and Terrorizer and Dismember. Black metal wise- Gorgoroth and Darkthrone are evil and tasty.

Thrash Metal wise: Exodusssssssssssssssssss. Slayer and Sodom are cool too but Exodus has an X and Xs make band names sound more thrashy and thus more sexy. Exumer for instance.

The correct pronunciation when spelled with an "ö" is something like Moteurehead which sounds gay...

I can't think of a more awesome or more appropriate name than Emperor.

Entombed is quite nice as well, even if the music hasn't always lived up to the name.

Nunslaughter is pure fucking death metal. One of my favorite bands I'd say it's a good name too.

I like Circle Of Dead Children, Drown Retarded Children, Anal Penetration, Nuclear Vomit, Hellbastard, Aborted and Cannibal Corpse. In general names that'll make people angry.

I dig

High on Fire - Must be an incredible high.
Artillery - I´ve always liked that word.
Invocator - It just sounds powerfull as their music.
Nunsalughter - METAL.
Mammoth grinder - Cool name. Not a cool name Rumpelstiltskin Grinder.
Skeletonwitch - METAL.
Serpent Throne - Great name i like it even more than Dark Throne
Warhorse - It just sounds as something that could crush you.
Bestial Warlust - Evil
Satanic Warmaster - Same as above
Pig Destroyer - Kinda inmature, but its a great name.
The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza - I just think its funny.

You're suggesting that the band actually cares about the pronunciation of the umlaut and has included it for reasons beyond the aesthetic.

Hint: That's not the correct pronunciation of the band's name. Don't be dumb.

I know how to pronounce it and I know why bands have stupid umlauts which they have no clue whatsoever what they are for in their band names. For us who actually know how to pronounce "ö" it just looks stupid.

Among us who know how to pronounce ö, there are also those of us who possess enough reasoning ability to figure out that it's an ornamental mark and don't bother bitching over how a name is typeset.

See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal_umlaut

If Motorhead's typesetting is that big of a deal for you, I can only imagine how tight of a bunch your panties get in over Sunn O)))'s name.

Nunslaughter is a great name for a metal band, as someone else pointed out earlier. Very straight to the point and very metal. I also think Skepticism is a great band name, it is one that sticks out in my mind at least.

Electric Wizard


Really? Electric Wizard? That name prevented me from listening to them for so long. I thought it sounded so damn stupid.

Anyways, as for band names I like, I always thought Pestilence was pretty badass. Entombed is pretty badass too, I used it as a character name in a few videogames, along with Megasus. Goblin Cock might be one of my favorite band names just because it makes me laugh so much. "Damn man, I love Goblin Cock...oh." Municipal Waste is pretty good, I love the whole look and everything associated with it. Others that are pretty good, if you ask me, are Black Cobra, Big Business, and Gallactus (hey, I'm a nerd, what can I say?)

Hell yes it is.

So many good band names...where to start...always liked the name Arcturus for some reason, seems rather dream like and strange and fits the music well, in my mind at least. Bolt Thrower? Sweet as. Dresden always seemed a pretty metal name to me, because of the associated carnage I suppose. Speaking of Carnage, that's a good name for good death metal.

Lots of bands starting with Ex sound cool; Exciter, Exodus, Exumer...

Infernäl Mäjesty is good, especially when its covered in all those umlauts.

I could probably think of names all day but I can't be bothered, so that'll do unless something pops into my head that I have to name.

Burzum, no idea why. It's just awesome, remember when I first heard it when I asked my friend what he was listening to and he said "Burzum" and I was like wut? Sounded kinda funny back then.

Agalloch, weird name, no idea if it means anything but it sounds cool.

That's a good one! But I think it would be kickass for a song name. It seems too long for a band name.

I'm proud of... HYMENGAARD!

I also like/second:

Emperor
Slayer
Blind Guardian
Iced Earth
Obituary
Deicide
Incantation

Also Municipal Waste is a great thrash/crossover name.

I like the name Waking the Cadaver. Shame the band is without doubt the worst I've ever heard.

Other names I like (many have already been mentioned) are Emperor, Immolation, Armored Saint, Darkthrone, Exodus, At the Gates, and, of course, Rumpelstilskin Grinder.

Truth be told, I bought my first Metal Church album just because of their name. i mean, Metal Church? Not the greatest name ever, but I really digged it. It proved to be one of the bands I listen the most.

I'm having trouble thinking of some really good metal band names, most of them are either laughably ridiculous or just lame.

here are some I like though:
Defeated Sanity
Blut Aus Nord
Lurker of Chalice
Estoric
Mercyful Fate
Celtic Frost
Morbid Angel
Emperor
Demilich

any band with anal, necro, goat or satan is instant fail band-name wise, shows a complete lack of originality.
