good death metal name
- Thread starter BaSs_FrEak

Maybe something involving goats. Ubergoat, Ungoat, Irongoat, Burning Goat, Goatstorm, Stormgoat Assault Commando, Wolfgoat, Goatwaitress...
I enjoy coming up with ridiculous band name ideas entirely too much. And I like to eat goat meat.

Haha, seeing your username the first thing I thought was, "It's Peter Klima the hockey player!" I then read your sigpklima said:
.I like the goat idea, but I think a good death metal name should have something religious added to it. Sacred Goats Afire, or God Save the Goat. And then gore is just a bonus. Burning Goat is great. Goatscraper maybe?
It all depends.
If your band is more gore oriented, then something like Carcass Devourer might work.
Otherwise, explore various mythologies to find names.
You could go with Gozu Tennoh (the Japanese god of plague.)
Or Kukuth (http://www.pantheon.org/articles/k/kukuth.html), or how about Ah Puch (http://www.pantheon.org/articles/a/ah_puch.html). I wouldn't go for a figure from the more obvious mythologies. Dig deeper. EDIT: Or go with mythological locations, like Mitnal (where Ah Puch lives/rules.)

Actually, I kinda like Goatstorm. That'd be a good grind name. I mean, what with Cattle Decapitation and Pig Destroyer, it'd be the barnyard trifecta (Goatwhore doesn't count, they're not grind).

Pestilence already exists, and there is already a drum 'n' bass collective that is called Gamorrah Soundsystem..
sorry to dredge this up, but what's the sound dirt makes hitting the top of a casket being buried?? that's pretty hardcore no?? 
uggh... maybe "Los Sheepf***ers con Bulemic Scrotomizers"???? ....brutal-rape-sludgemetal....en espanol....
wow. sorry again!!!

The best ever death metal band out of Denton
never settled on a name
but the top three contenders after weeks of debate
were Satan's Fingers, and The Killers, and The Hospital Bombers

Chill, dude. The others are just funning. And you must admit, some death/gore/grind metal bands do have rather cheeseball names. Cannibal Corpse, Pig Destroyer, Thy Flesh Consumed and Cattle Decapitation come to mind.
However, though I was joking with "Carcass Devourer" I was serious with the mythology stuff. Particularly stuff from lesser known mythology. I don't think you can get more death than Mitnal (http://www.pantheon.org/articles/m/mitnal.html). In Mayan mythology it's one of the 9 hells and the absolute worst of them all.
Oh, and check out http://www.metal-archives.com to see what names are taken and what aren't.

Like we'd seriously give you a good name. Any good names we do have we keep to ourselves for our own bands.
