I couldn't disagree more. Devastatingly sad music is the most extreme music in my opinion. I think slam / brutal death metal is the only thing that rivals it in terms of extremity. The depressive / suicidal black metal sub-genre is a testament to this. Bands like Abyssic Hate, Forgotten Tomb...

Instantly thought of Necrophagist. The song "To Breathe in a Casket" has some especially fantastic melodies. Also, make sure you give Demilich a chance. Nespithe is one of my favorite albums.

A lot of good slam has been released in the past year. Some of the best: Pathology - Awaken to the Suffering 7.H Target - Fast-Slow Demolition Abominable Putridity - Anomalies of Artificial Origin Ezophagothomia - Instinct of Inhuman Devourment Happy slamming.

Inveracity for sure. The first time I heard them I thought I had accidentally downloaded a Suffocation album I had never heard of. Good stuff.

Try some Gorevent.

Abominable Putridity and 7 H.Target

7/10 Not half bad, good raw sound

0/10. Awful.

You're not going to find people on these boards that listen to the genre of music you play. People here are more into extreme metal acts.

Skepticism and Ahab are definitely not what he's looking for.

Anthrax is god fucking awful. How can any self-respecting Thrash band decide it's a good idea to pioneer the genre of "rap-metal?" It's kind of like Cryptopsy's switch from BDM to deathcore. Except Cryptopsy was actually good at one point.

9/10. Never listened to Swallow The Sun that much, but I've always liked them a lot. Downloading that album now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQPY-020KSg Got this on the recc of Slam Minded and damn does it deliver

Good choices on The Mantle and Rain Without End, solipsism. Those two have become some of my favorite albums recently.

Try Leveling The Plane Of Existence by Abysmal Dawn.

Damn indeed. I love that album so much, and I'm pretty sure I've seen the artwork somewhere but didn't actually realize how badass it was. :kickass:
