CAULDRON (Traditional heavy metal) (Toronto, Canada) (Formed in 2006) I was walking around the stock room at work two days after Goat Horn broke up with the name Midnite Mass in my head, but then somehow Cauldron popped into my brain and I liked it more. It was simple, heavy and easy to remember and pronounce. Perfect. It reminded me of the simpleness of the name Carcass which I always really liked, so that was it! Jason Decay (bass/vocals)
CELLADOR (Power metal) (Omaha, USA) (Formed in 2003) I came up with the band name on a whim in the bands early, early days, around early 2003. We had recorded our first demos around this time and were posting them online on a now defunct music website called MP3.com. We were having trouble deciding on a name, and up to this point were considering the band name Apostate and even booked some first gigs under this name. But as I was setting up our Mp3.com band account one day, perhaps out of selfishness I decided to name the account Cellador after a J.R.R. Tolkien reference in that he believed the combination of the words "cellar" and "door" were the most beautiful combination found in the English language (as mentioned in one of his essays from the 50s). I had come across this strange Tolkien reference online somewhere and thought the background of it, as well as the name itself, sounded very power metalish, unique, and fitting for us. I can be weird about linguistics sometimes and this is an example. I told the band later that same day. At first they weren't digging it but quickly they became accustomed to it. Since then it’s been my band's name. Chris Petersen (guitars/bass/vocals)
CENTURIONS GHOST (Doom/Sludge metal) (London, England) (Formed in 2001) It comes from a ghost story from the city of York in the north of England. The story is about a legion of Roman soldiers which disappeared only ever to be seen again haunting the streets and cellars of York. They are known as the “Doomed Leigion”. We were gonna call the band Doomed Leigion but thought it would be more original and true to the story to call the band Centurions Ghost. In addition to this there is a fine porter ale which shares the same name. Richard Whittaker (bass)
