Next year I seek to begin a band. I have been playing guitar for almost a year and have excelled a lot. I am simply asking for a name for a HEAVY METAL/DEATHCORE band name please.

In the bands I have been in/formed/started the name comes close to last.
First you find the members
then you pick/write the songs
then you learn to play them as a band
then you gig.
If between steps 1-3 no one suggests a name (usually a friend/GF) then you have to break out a few beers after practice one day as you close in on being gig ready and have a big BS/brainstorming session.
Almost everyone of my bands (good/bad or ugly) had a memorable story about how the band name came about.
For example:
I was in a band working step 3 (practicing as a band) and one of the members girlfriends/drunk bar hag made the comment…“You guys are some bangin daddies”
It was just a stupid drunk comment, the bangin part was we were head bangers…the daddies part was kind of a “hey daddy-o” beatnik kinda comment.
The drummer booked us a gig (surprise) and we didn’t have a name so he called us…
You guessed it “THE BANGIN DADDIES”:smack:
After the gig when people came over to talk to us (as we were packin up) we asked what they thought of the name.
There were 2 trains of though…based on the name alone, before we even went on, half though it was a pedophile joke :mad:
the other half though we were gay for each other and had kids :mad:😕:smack:

Thanks Vagabond. I guess that would be the way to go. I was just thinking of the name lately and next to nothing came to my mind

Name the band after a famous diaster. Plenty to pick from, and it fits right in to the musical genre.
