One of my students has formed a band called Angels of Death. That's pretty cool. Back in the 90's, some of my students formed a band called Black Vomit, inspired by a Louisiana history lesson about Yellow Fever and it's symptoms--one of which was black vomit. They were 8th graders and thought that was cool.
