If you dig around the metal and metal sub-genres (death/tech/prog/doom/black/thrash) you'll find some wonderfully weird band names.

Fleshgod Apocalypse
Carcass
Gorefest
Gatecreeper
Caligula's Horse
Venom Prison
Opera Diabolicus
Ne Obliviscaris

All worth a listen by the way, if you enjoy screamy shouty stuff.
