Do you think this is a good band name?

And it also sounds cool to these guys. https://www.facebook.com/PrecipiceMetal. Gotta do the google search when you come up with great new band names
. Sorry I posted so fast dude.
I hate it when that happens.And it also sounds cool to these guys. https://www.facebook.com/PrecipiceMetal. Gotta do the google search when you come up with great new band names
Seems when you come up with a cool name, it's taken.
You gotta do the search
Not a good name - unless you want Prepuce (foreskin) comparisons... Lol
I think it's a cool name, metal band or otherwise, but yeah, you will have to deal with some ribbing from non-fans, like the above example or maybe... press a piss!
Totally metal sounding, dude!
Also, the band makes the name, not the other way round. Some band names are utter crap when taken out of context, but because you associate an awesome band with it's name, those crappy names become awesome names. Ugh, I explained that as though English is my 5th language. Sorry.

Metal-archives.com is another good site to look up band names. They have a lot of info on obscure metal bands. There are usually a dozen other bands who have already used the name you are considering.And it also sounds cool to these guys. https://www.facebook.com/PrecipiceMetal.

As for the name Precipice, you could just add "On The" to it.
"On the Precipice" might work. I'll ask my band matesMetal-archives.com is another good site to look up band names. They have a lot of info on obscure metal bands. There are usually a dozen other bands who have already used the name you are considering.

That's a cool name
Heh, my friend wants to call our band "Lion's pride". Any of the names here are better than that +_+ (To the bloke who said it was the band that makes the name, he wants to make nickleback-like stuff. Yeah)
BEAT me to it, yuk yuk.
Don't worry about the ribbing, it for more pleasure.
I'm here all week.
Since the basic name's taken, modifying it seems a good way to go. What sort of metal are you playing?
After dropping the "Dark", I like "Precipice of Death". Or "Precipice of Darkness"
"Mortal Precipice"
"Beyond the Precipice"
Not so serious suggestions...
"Pagan Precipice" (or just PP for short)
"Crag of Doom"
"Escarpment of Darkness"
Gotta say... "Lion's Pride" sounds like a sequel to "The Lion King" or a Wiggles knockoff.

Unless you come up with a really weird name or do the pop-punk thing and attach a random number to it, almost any band name will turn out to have been used by someone somewhere already. The question is whether your anticipated market and theirs overlap. If the other "Precipice" is playing around Seattle and yours is in North Carolina, and both groups are only playing locally, it's usually no big deal.
We play progressive and thrash mostly. Some alternative. I like your
suggestion Beyond the Precipice. Thanks for your help!
Precipice is good. If someone else has the name already, adding a word like; Xtal, Obsidian, Immortal, Cryptic, Pyroclastic, Alien, Vogon, Void, Iron, Steel, Le@d, Rubber-room, Acid, Legion, Driven, Nightmare, Fugue, etc. might get you over the line and help set the band apart.
An illuminating adjective can do wonders.

Mammogram is down but I'm working manually
Reminds me of a band I was in called "The Brink". There used to be a website that was so each to check, I think it was UBL. Using words like "The" beforehand don't really help, you'll need to mix it up a little.
