Cirith Ungol was the first Tolkein/Lord of the Rings inspired band name I was aware of. I don't know if they were the actual first ever band to have a Tolkein-inspired name, but they were certainly one of the first as far as metal goes.

I think of this band's name every time I'm camping and stare up at the night's sky while ripping a piss.

Ah, that reminds me Oakenshield! Pretty cool folk metal band from England if I recall.

:-D

Don't pay heed to me, that was just drunken tomfoolery (the band's actually named after A Song of Ice and Fire).

Haha, not a problem! Tomfoolery welcome!
Oakenshield is actually pretty cool so check them out.

Another very common word is "blood" with 1,204 results (1,563 including partial matches)
"Anal" yields only 93 hits (124 including partial matches). I think it used to be way more that, apparently many grindcore bands have been removed.

I actually did this type of search some years ago; I can't remember the exact results, but likely they were similar.

And nobody has mentioned Moonblood yet!? Was the first one I thought of and they were actually pretty good. Just plain Moon which someone posted a song of above is another I've listened to before as well, and Crimson Moon a little bit.

Will check out Moonblood too. care to embed a selection you like?

Gorgoroth is another obvious one, taken from a plateau in Mordor. Similarly the bands Orodruin, Cirith Gorgor and Ephel Dúath are also named after topographical landmarks in Mordor.[/quote]


Voi paska! Of course, you're right!

I see they're an older CA band.

A lesser known band named from Tolkien is Mumakil, a decently okay grindcore band from Italy.

You could have a band name generator using the most common words found in band names:

To create your band name, select one word from the left and combine it with one word on the right:

Moon .............. Bong
Death .............. Forest
Angel ............... Moon
Legion ............. Death
Bong ............... Angel
Forest ............... Corpse
Corpse .............. Slaughter
Black ................ Lord
Lord ................. Hate
Morbid .............. Hell
Hate ................ Goat

I would bet, that you could generate several hundred names of actual existing bands using the above band name generator. If, for example, there is no such band as "Moon Slaughter" or "Corpse Angel" then I suspect someone will form one before long.


Corpse Bong

But out of this list.......shite it just goes on forever.....Moon Angel sounds kinda siistia....or Forest Moon.

I am pretty confident that had this one band been born into the English-speaking world, they would certainly have called themselves Disarmoonia Moondi
