I actually think Bolt Thrower is a pretty good band name. It's descriptive and evocative. Devil's Train? No. Is that the train that the devil rides? A train on route to the devil? Or just a train that the devil owns and/or operates? I have a feeling that the band's music is as silly as any of these questions.

Naw, those are both cheese-free.
Megadeth = an extraordinary amount of Deth. They don't even need to use an "a" in death because you know what they mean so why waste logo space?

Metallica makes as much sense as psychedelia or electronica. It just means a whole bunch of metal packaged together.

Okay, so maybe they're goofy names but if they're cheesy then Devil's Train is aerosal cheese.
