Recommended Posts

Extreme metal is a loosely defined umbrella term for a number of related heavy metal music subgenres that have developed since the early 1980s. The term usually refers to a more abrasive, harsher, underground, non-commercialized style or sound nearly always associated with genres like black metal, death metal, doom metal, thrash metal and sometimes speed metal, groove metal.[1]

 

Though not very well known to mainstream music fans, as it is by definition counterculture, extreme metal has influenced an array of musical performers inside and outside of heavy metal.

Shining - Fodd Forlorare

Tsjuder - Legion Helvete

Skeletonwitch - Forever Abomination

Primordial - Redepmtion at the Puritan's Hand

Brutal Truth - End Time

The Rotted - Ad Nauseam

 

and top of the list, and definitely worth checking out, has to be

Nice list, I really enjoyed Withered Shades by Ophis and Alloy by Skepticism. Check 'em out sometime. Though I was never a fan of Grindcore/Death, Nile is the best. I don't consider Opeth being really Death metal anymore. So for:

 

Death:

Ophis

Nile

Cannibal Corpse

 

Black:

Burzum

Mayhem

Darkthrone

 

Doom:

Skepticism

Ahab

Anilipnes

I love Opeth, of course. I'm also into Agalloch, In Flames and just started getting into Meshuggah.

Thanks for the heads up on Meshuggah. I'm not normally into death metal but those guys are riff monsters. It's addicting. 1022.gif

The swedes really know death metal, 73! 1022.gif

Hmm, I was starting to try getting into extreme metal recently. I think I'll refer to this thread if I want to refer to bands I should try.

 

Obviously, I love Opeth. Children of Bodom, I've know of them, I just haven't really listed to them, but they're from Finland, and knowing my love of Finland and the other Nordic countries in general, I'd probably dig them a lot. Boris I've only known through the Altar album they did with Sunn O))), who are my favorite drone doom metal band at the moment.

Noone heard about Dimmu Borgir?

 

I don't like this kind of music but Dimmu are pretty cool when the growler isnt growling.

 

Lots of keys and very dramatic.

 

Saw an recorded concert with Dimmu Borgir and a philharmonic orchestra. That was pretty cool.

Never really got into them too much after they got really symphonic - They're doing a few festivals in Europe with an orchestra next summer, which should be pretty cool.

 

I'll have to make a big list of bands to check out some time, as that seems to be the thing to do in here tongue.gif

 

 

Also, Nate, I thought Alloy came out a couple of years ago? Still a pretty solid album, mind. smile.gif

Huge Doom fan here and you can't have a doom list without Saint Vitus!!! I'm sure I'll get shit for this, but to me they're even better than Sabbath. No one does or will do slow, lethargic metal better than those guys. Anyone know YOB? Really good shit worth checking out too. Doom On!!!! 1022.gif 1022.gif 1022.gif
