Band names that dont seem to "fit"? Empty Band names that dont seem to "fit"?

Post by WildWorld Tue Oct 29, 2024 6:42 pm

Saw this on another board, what are some band names (Christian and Secular) that dont seem to fit with the music wherein? Brotality comes to mind, the name seems to imply some nu-metal or metalcore act, as opposed to thrash. And Fastway brings to mind some hyper speed metal, not the more mid-paced hard rock that they were.

Iron Maiden is the obvious one: none of the members are made of iron, nor are they even maidens!

I'd expect the Czech band Citron (which means "lemon") to be more classic/soft rock, not the hard rock/metal that they are.

Affector sounds more like a thrash name than prog.

Apostisy sounds like "apostasy" which is an odd name for a Christian band.

Slovak band Arzen is pretty soft sounding for a band whose name means "arsenic."

Wytch Hazel is an herb (spelled slightly differently, of course) which is an odd choice for a metal/rock band.

Vicious Rumors sounds like a glam band not power metal and Laaz Rockit doesn't sound like a thrash band.

Pretty Maids (classic heavy metal band). Just like Iron Maiden, there are no maids to be found in that band, pretty or otherwise

Testament were originally called Legacy, which sounds more like a prog band name to me. For that matter, Unleash the Archers also sounds more prog than their music would indicate.

While I know better know, I used to think "Deicide" was an alternate spelling of "decide" and wondered why they didn't name themselves something edgier

Also, Pantera sounds like a glam name... But that might be cheating Wink

Since an "iron maiden" is a medieval torture device, I think the name fits rather well.

Kansas.

Doesn't seem to fit a progressive rock band.

Sounds more like a country / southern rock / roots rock name.

At least to me.

Lamb of God reportedly chose their name as a way to mock God, according to what I have recently learned.

Anti Demon is also perhaps the laziest and most ridiculous name for a Christian band.

Ik, I just didn't know at first. So I thought it was weird they had such an inoffensive name. I was very wrong tho

There’s a Christian band called “God.”

Mercyful Fate sounds like a pretty light name for what they are. It almost sounds like a Christian band name (which MF is decidedly not).
