The video game was "Altered Beast".

That's if you're refering to this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altered_Beast

It is. The text looks pretty similar. Just add more spikes behind it and remove the "ed." I wonder if it was their inspiration?

Their original name was 'Gary Busey Amber Alert'. So, maybe?

I've been searching articles and I can't find anything about why they chose that name.

EDIT: See, I knew if I made a post about it, I would immediately find the answer.

"Their name is an obvious reference to Altered Beast (1988). Michael Alvarez would later go on to use "Rise From Your Grave" as a song title in Flub."

Flub - 'Rise From Your Grave'
