A Name For This Urge

Sorry to bring up such an odd subject, but it’s only come about because of (would you believe) music.
Tons of years ago a friend and I did the engineering work for a band who wanted to record a couple of demo tracks. The title of one song, we later learned, was the name given by psychologists to a specific phenomenon. It’s when a person, in a kitchen with another person, takes a knife from the drawer for quite innocent culinary purposes but imagines, for a moment, stabbing the other. It’s a very fleeting thought and, typically, the person has absolutely no violent tendencies at all and would never consider doing such a thing.
This ‘thing’ has a specific name and I’ve been racking my brains, unsuccessfully, to remember. There is something called misophonia, but that’s not it. The song title consisted of two words.
I must stress this is of vocabulary interest only! It’s just that, a few days ago, something reminded me of the recording session and that led to me trying to remember the song title.
