Doom Reference Band Name

[Richo Rosai]

Obviously I failed with Jehovah Gyra, and I'm looking to Doom references
for my new band's name.

So far I thought of:

Demon(s) Can't Step

(The) Former Human(s)

Pistol and Fifty

Hell by Rappel

But I'm sure there are plenty of awesome ones that I'm not thinking of.
Any suggestions?

[Naked Snake]

Impse, obviously :-D

[exp(x)]

Icon of Sin might be good depending on what type of music you're doing.

[darknation]

Pink Taggart
The Ballshit Snakes
Sweet Christmas
Fat Mancubus
BFG

If you some up with something really awesome i'd be willing to design your logo for you.

[Ichor]

Ashun Düm
Daisy on a Stick
The One-Eyed Monsters
Visplane Overflow
The Chainsaw and Two Moons
The Cratejumpers

[baronofhell]

Knee Deep in the Dead
Icon of Sin
Hell on Earth
Doom
Pain Elemental
Mastermind
Lost Souls

[Dr. Zin]

The Misalignments
The Detail Whores
The Fragged

[Bucket]

I'd figured "Refresh Daemon" was an obvious choice.

[leileilol]

BERSERK PACK
RIP AND TEAR
SOULSPHERE

[Job]

Night Train.

[CODOR]

Depending on the type of music:

BFG9000
Wallrunner
Degreelessness
Delta-Q-Delta
Hall Of Mirrors
Tag 666
Slime Trail

If Smashing Pumpkins hadn't already been taken: SPISPOPD

And if Dave Barry were here I'm sure he'd agree that Phobos Anomaly would make a great name for a band...

The Arachnotrons
Imp Bizkit (somebody made a hilarious picture of that once)
Shotgun Guys
E1M1
Slough Of Despair (you can see it on 17 year old girl's Myspace profiles already)
...And Hell Followed

Circle Of Death
(the) Barrels O Fun
Slimetrails
Medusa Error (images of java-covered Myspace profiles appearing in my head again)
AASHITTY

WTF does "Medusa Error" have to do with Doom?

[Bank]

Oh No I'm Radioactive

[BlitZ]

Rip And Tear

A Medusa error happens in the original engine when you put a texture with more than one patch on a two sided line. When you look at it up close, the game comes to an almost complete stop until you look away again.

Rip And Tear
Thy Flesh Consumed

These are both good choices.

[Richo Rosai]

Wow, thanks for all the responses! I've gotta go teach some little kids English to cover my studio fees (a certain game company in Osaka pays shit), but I'll look at them in more detail later.

One thing I can say is that I did think of a lot of others myself, but:

I didn't want to something that would box me in later (like, "Icon of Sin" is awesome but might make people assume some kind of one-note dark metal)

And I didn't want something that was so Doom-specific and well-known that it was obvious, immediately nerdy and would lead to claims of unoriginality (like "Thy Flesh Consumed", for example).

[deathbringer]

Some slightly more obscure (mostly referencing the manual) Doom references:

Earth's Toughest
Floating above Hell itself
Challenging Electronics
DaButcher
The Perfect Enemy
Unwelcome Guests
Purgatory Pedestrians
Eric Dylan & The Massacre
Master Levels

Eric Dylan & The Massacre

dude

[insertwackynamehere]

not only is that extremely wrong but its Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold not Eric Dylan

[deathbringer]

But that would make an extremely long band name, and i didnt come up with that one, somebody suggested it at a metal gig (of 25 people, including band members, sound man and the bar staff) last night

I think that was the point...

[Dittohead]

Perfect Hatred

[Richo Rosai]

Perfect Hatred would be awesome if it didn't sound all Nine Inch Nails-ish...

Right now I'm thinking "Pistol and Fifty" and "Medusa Error" look good, but they don't click quite hard enough...

Of course if I give up on the Doom references and there I have a ton of others, the best of which are:

Pig in the Ground
Basically Fake
Mindless Button Mashing
Japanese Bending Machines
Tunnel of Sky
Defloweration Project (alt, Refloweration Project)
Pauxeurs (pronounced 'posers')
PITA(People for the Ingestion of Tasty Animals)

But I still think I can do better. And then there's the whole issue of wanting it to be easy fo Japanese people to pronounce, heh!

Band v0.99


Obscure references aside, I couldn't stop laughing at Eric Dylan & The Massacre.

[Darkhaven]

Hell Beneath
Sign of Evil
Armored Carcass (vague)
The Bloodfall Stalkers
Twice-Dead
Cybernetic Nightmare

That's all I got.
