Metal Song Name Generator

Metal song titles follow conventions that differ sharply by subgenre, and a tracklist that mixes them up sounds wrong to fans instantly. Thrash wants short, punchy phrases built on war, corruption and speed (Toxic Reign, Bleed the Machine). Death metal leans on anatomy, rot and clinical Latin (Exsanguinate, Cranial Liturgy). Black metal reaches for frost, night, ancient forests and anti-cosmic imagery, often in long, almost poetic lines. Doom slows everything down into funereal single words and sorrowful phrases. Power metal goes epic and bright with dragons, steel, dawn and riding into battle, while metalcore and nu-metal prefer first-person confession and one-word emotional hooks.

This generator draws from all of those styles so you can build a coherent tracklist or pull one title for a single. You will find one-word hammers (Hollowborn, Ironclad, Oblivious), two-word compounds (Wolf Cathedral, Static Martyr), imperative commands (Burn the Heretic, Raise the Black Banner), long atmospheric lines for black and doom, and a few parenthetical or numbered titles for prog and concept records.

The best metal titles are concrete: a noun you can picture, a verb that hurts. Match the title to the riff, not the other way round.
