I agree, Morbid Angel is a pretty great name. Others I can think of, Torsofuck, August Burns Red (crap), Type O Negative, Goblin Cock (Really? who actually names their band that), The Black Dahlia Murder, and Bring Me the Horizon.
^^ Those are both pretty well known/famous bands. They both, as far as I know, have international recognition. Try to keep it more local, like someone you might see at a club down the street.
I love new music and often come across great bands that are only local. So post you favorite local metal bands name and their website/myspace page if they have one. My three favs up here in Maine are:
Dead Season: http://www.myspace.com/deadseason
Nobis: http://www.myspace.com/nobis

Being a drummer myself I like to judge drummers by how bad they make me want to go jam on my set. That said: Matt Nicholls from BMTH, Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater (I guess he does the same playing for A7X), and Andols Herrick from Chimaira are my favorites.
In Flames- Colony
Benevolent- Divided EP
Dead Season- Life Death
Chimaira- Ressurection
Bring Me the Horizon- Count Your Blessings
Divine Heresy- Bleed the Fifth
Silent Civilian- Ghost Stories
Suicide Silence- The Cleansing
Devil Driver- The Fury of Our Maker's Hand
Dead To Fall-...
