Title: band names...
Post by: TheJamsh on March 29, 2009, 12:20:33 PM
So... my band has been going for quite a long time and many many months down the line we still havent decided on a name.

so far, the only word we can all decide on is 'Hadea' (yep, put forward by me after playing FE for a while!). Occasional random words have been added likes 'scars of hadea' and all that jazz, but so far nothing really sticks.

Thought i may as well post something on here. oh its metal btw... so nothing girly, like 'angels of pink fluffy hadea'

Im sure its harder to name a band than to write the material...

It is. My band took about a month or so to decide on our name (Complication)... and some of the suggestions were utterly awful! We can get songs written (music and lyrics) inside of a day, sometimes in just a few hours... our guitarist is a genius :D The only bad side is that I have to sing it, lol

I'm sure we can come up with some suggestions, though, let's see...

first few nicked from various ship names...
Avenger
Blade
Brawler
Claw
Demon
Dominator
Dragoon
Drath
Gorgon
Griffin
Hammer
Harpie
Jackal
Krul
Lancer
Liberator
Locust
Mauler
Scorpion
Sentinel
Sentry
Siren
Talon
Titan
Thunderbird
Thunderbolt
Triton
Tyrant
Warrior
Wolverine
Wraith
Zeus

Some of those would make really cool names, actually, espcially if you make them plural and add either 'Of Hades' 'Of Hadea' or 'Of Cerberus' to the end :)

Tyrants of Hades is the best I can come up with from that lot, but I'm sure you guys can do better.

My band's name is Harbingers of Cool. You can't have that one. My old parody black-metal band was Pink Unicorns of Doom. You can't have that one either.

Other finalists:
Walking Around The House Wearing Only A Lampshade (or maybe that's an album name)
Oozing Uvula

EDITS:

Closed Due To Aids
Diablus in Musica (A reference to the tritone, not to Slayer)

Eternal Scar
Bullet with a Name (the name of my Rock Band 2 band)
Rend these wounds
Hadean Gate

aaaand...

ZERO ANGEL

Yeah i know it sounds egotistical but my nickname sounds like it would also be suitable for a band name.

Actually I like some of your suggestions too, in particular these ones:
Quote from: AHadley on March 29, 2009, 01:03:24 PM
Avenger
Lancer
Liberator
Talon
Tyrant
Wraith

suffix: "Of Hades", or "Of Hadea"

Building upon his idea, I also think these would be cool names:
"Slasher Prime" (after the commander of the HDA, Slasher Prime Thanatos)
"Miasma"

Solar flare
Portal
Bio-metal men (your sound is metal rock right?)
Laughing Stock

Cythonians

lol, this is fun.
When my band was Axeminister we came up with the name because our bassist worked laying floors and Axeminister is the name of a type of hard-to-lay flooring. lol

Something I read in the news made "Raghead Gangbang" pop into my head.  Good for a punk band, I guess.

I am bored, here's some BZ2 related ideas (if you could call them that much, I am waterlogged from the pool at the hotel we are staying at for these past 2 days).

- Recycler (heh)
- Lightning Titans
- Arc Titans
- Damned Scavvies!
- Scions of the New Age*
- Arc Warriors
- Jimmy and the Jammers (major heh)
- Colorgroup Not Found

And...spent...

*This one could be taken a couple ways:
1. BZ2 Reference about the Scions and the Dark Planet transformation.
2. The definition of Scion is "Decendant or heir."
3. You like motorized boxes...

Run some of those by your band. Hit us up with the feedback. I'm really not feeling "Hadea" though as its too hard to construct a decent band name around it.

we went with scars of hadea. well, for now anyway.

its bound to change to something entirely different. i only posted on here because of the word 'hadea' :lol:
Title: Re: band names...
Post by: sabrebattletank on April 06, 2009, 09:06:24 PM
See, I don't particularly like the sound of the word "hadea." I would go for something more guttural, something with a lot of nice, hard, Germanic consonants. Or some multisyllabic Latinate words.
Title: Re: band names...
Post by: sabrebattletank on September 28, 2009, 05:44:16 AM
So, how has the band-naming gone? Still on "Scars of Hadea?"

I've been recording original music a lot here lately. Got seven done with guitars, vocals and drum loops, now I need a bassist and a real drummer to practice this stuff and go to studio. I'll reveal some of it soon. I already gave Red Devil a taste.
