It has been ten years since Luna was reformed, Equestria has since grown to be a thriving nation filled with artistic wonders. Yet, Luna’s age and experiences make it difficult to take intrest in such repetitive overdone activities. She has seen the latest in Modern Art, watched hundreds of movies and plays, and listened to enough mainstream music to drive one insane. She seeks some activity or hobby which would capture her passion, something new, something exciting, something powerful!
After searching, deep within herself and amongst Equestria, her choice was clear; metal.
So Luna dons her custom Ibanez electric guitar and embarks on an epic quest to be the greatest (and possibly only) metal musician in all of Equestria! With the help of four others, she will conquer the music scene through melodies never heard before, riffs that were never even thought of, and lyrics that would make Discord's eyes bug out!
This is a fun story I have been meaning to try, on the side. It will contain linked youtube videos for the music since lyrics are obviously restricted. You can find all the music here at my youtube channel. The videos will be added as Luna and her band plays them.
The idea for this is credited to Eagle (aka Callsign Eagle) and so is the pre-reading of this fic.
Editing is done by who is now being dubbed my lifetime editor, AuthorGenesis to which I am more than very thankful.
Heck yeah! I love metal.
Not bad. Upthumbed. I still think Eclipse is a more appropriate name for her legendary guitar.

Name for her guitar? That isn't a name, it's a brand
Though it would be a good name.
I'm still expecting my MGR:R OST. Do not fail me.
You have your work cut out for you. I have an idea in my head of Luna fronting Evanescence and so far none have topped this idea for me. Challenge accepted.
Manowar - Die For Metal
Mare-O-War, Motorherd, Discord Priest, Maretallica, Trotley Crue, etc...
all the puns yo
Band name suggestions:
Quagmire.
Scythebomb.
Hell No.
Teradeath.
Bloodskunk.
Lycan.
Dropzone.
Trapezoid.
These Damn Fools.
Dawn of Fire.
Demon Cage.
Knife.
Thestral Missile.
Knock Three Times.

Evanescence? Well I can tell you that Luna's band will be much more intense then Evanescence. Think more along the lines of prog. metal, thrash metal, power metal, and maybe some harder stuff
4194861
There are some awesome names in there!
4195720
Only two of them were inspired by real bands: Dawn of Fire is a play on Day of Fire, and Demon Cage is a play on Demon Hunter.
Which names are dodecafinalists? (12th round)... or whatever.
I understood from the start it was going to be a li'l harder
I wanna see Shining on this band.
Nightwish? Now i need something for my head to meet... lol
4198863
That's the point! I wanted it to be such an obvious reference that even my face would meet my desk!
4198882
Its actualy one of my favorite bands. I sadly have to agree that i prefer their earlier stuff. Theyre still good though.
Lunatics
Night furies
Sleepless
Insane nighters
(Only ideas right now due to me being all of the above. Self-inflicted sleep deprivation, yay!)
\m/. Any band names, Void or Darkscape.
If it's a metal band then "Blood Stained Moon" is an awesome name
Wolves of the night for the band name.
Dibs on bass, I can play some mean ass pentatonic fills.
Children of the Night
Demon of the Darkness
Would be random if Emoshy turned up
An Epic quest of Drugs, Sex, and Rock and Roll.... Well 2 out of 3 ain't bad (actually its 33.333333333% but whose counting)
Well... Luna sure is stunned. Now then, any more contestants. I do want to see Shining Armor in this band by the way.
Behemareth? You mean either Megadeth or Beheamoth right?
Band name idea: Tarterus's Gates
Live metal, be metal
*Devil Horns*
4305066
I am referring to Behemoth (or however they spell it). That band had the coolest name to ponify in my opinion as well as their genre fit perfectly with how I invision metal in Equestria before Luna's band.
4305346 Ahh ok
How about?

Luna could possible go to the same stylist as the Powerwolf Founders Matthew and Charles Greywolf. Celestia would most likely pass out, when she sees her younger sisters new style. :D (And Rarity most likely aswell. ^^)
Matthew Greywolf
Charles Greywolf
Two of my other favorite bands are Sabaton and Gloryhammer.
Unicorn Invasion
4372097 Well, if you're gonna throw Sabaton in there, best not forget Hammerfall and Nightwish.
Liking and faving. Please for the love of metal continue.
Also I think a good name for the band might be Darkstar.
I like Aeterna's name suggestion, and Children of the Night, though it may be a bit revealing. Iron Maiden wrote a song called "Children of the Damned".
Anyway, I want to see where this goes, but take your time! I like Metal Belle, and I want to see who else shows up!
This is the first thing that came to mind...

Are you still working on this, or are you focusing on the HtTYD crossover for now?
5288634
My focus is on my two crossover fics. This isn't dead mind you. Ideas are there, just not the priority.
Hmm. band names... not sure if this has been abandoned, or is planned to be continued. But, because the thought amuses me, a good name would be: Audacious Key.
I personally think that despite the fairly clear reference, the meaning of the name will fit well with Luna's band. Key being used in the sense of ones singing. Think about the meaning, and I believe you would agree that it would be a good name, In general at least.
I hope it is continued, and I look forward to any potential continuation it may get.
