I saw that Dave Grohl named his metal band Probot, but I can do better and so can you:

Torrentula
Death Toll
Grindhouse

So what are some other great names for metal bands that no one has used yet?

There is a band named Tarantula Downpour, and it actually took me months of subconscious background thinking to figure out the pun implied. Alas...
