Band names that sound metal but arent

What are some band names that sound like they'd be metal bands but they arent? Mad at the World is the first that comes to mind.

War

The Grateful Dead. How about The Killers? It couldn't be further from the truth.

Between the Buried and Me sounds like black metal.

For the longest time I thought Five Finger Death Punch was metal. Then I heard them and thought it was Nickelback

When I heard the name Smasing Pumpkins back in the day, I thought they were a metal band.  But not so much.

Nick Cave sounds like the name of a death metal singer, and while he does have plenty of dark songs about death and murder, the music is far from metal.

Killing Heidi
Mental As Anything
Noiseworks
Regurgitator

Metallica

That is such a great name for a band.  Haha I love it.

Oh, and My Bloody Valentine sounds somewhat metal, or at least punk/hardcore.

Eagles of Death Metal (though this doesn't really sound "metal", it just sounds self-referentially goofy)

No, thank you for this discovery 
Pauwels was the name of a French author/journalist Louis Pauwels, knows for his paranormal/fantasy books. Titles of some songs are titles of his books, like Le Matin Des Magiciens (Wizard's Morning), L'Amour Monstre (Monstrous Love).

Kerrick: Sure ^^

Thx, but i meant the sludge/stoner band Pauwels, my last name is Pauwels as well, so hence the question....

Ah you want to know for that ^^
Pauwels means nothing, but there is a word with a near pronunciation, Poêle, who mean frying pan 

Don't know if this one was mentioned or not:

Unspoken.

The band name sounds like something from the Tooth and Nail roster from the 90's. The music... not so much.

Actually, there was a band on Tooth And Nail called Spoken (though not during the 90's).

So these guys could be the UN-Spoken.
