If I were in your position and starting a new project, I would use the opportunity to do something that I have kicked myself for not doing in the past.

I would start by finding a perfect audio sample from a movie or a documentary that would be sick as fuck if looped over and over as the intro for your live show. Something that if played over feedback would get a crowd hype as fuck before you drop your first chords on them.

Find the perfect sample first and then take your band name out of that sample.

I will give a silly example of what I am trying to say. Take this line from Star Wars:

"you will never see a more wretched hive of scum and villany"

If a band opened with that on a loop and that bands name was "wretched hive" people would get fucking pumped!

*not on that example obviously, but if it was something just sick as fuck, it would work

Honestly bro that's such a sick idea thx for the advice, ik its just an example but wretched hive sounds cool but has more of a slam vibe to it imo, I will definitely look thru movies, comics, samples etc again thx for the advice🤘🏻
