Not sure if this is the right place to post this.

I'm trying to come up for a name for my metal project (i.e. the name that I put out covers/original material on), but have failed so far.

The music is going to be relatively progressive, with Devy influences.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Sorry man, there are so many bands around these days that all the good names are taken

I think the problem with asking musicians for band names is that the good ones they come up with they'll always want to keep for themselves.

Don't listen to Biert, though! You just have to think, well, unusually. Or jam two random words together like I did: Swimfail

Woh . Thanks

T-Rex is awfully close to T.Rex (Get It On, 20th Century Boy), but still, that's quite a list!

Let me suggest.. the best name ever..

Hahaha no problem. That's the result of months of undecision, boredom, and i guess what you could call creativity? In the end we settled with something more original. Our band name is Secret Weapon, and we aren't changing it just because we don't want any more stress. hahah

Athletic Fetus

Fear of Hair


Genius!!!!



Athletic Fetus hahahahaha
