Best extreme metal band

[Dead Winter]

I vote for Akercocke. I just don't see many bands as diverse as these guys. Their music is both extreme and melodic, something that suits me very well.

People's opinions on what makes music extreme are so varied. I mean you may as well just post your favorite bands because one person's extreme metal could be another's slow and boring...

Into Eternity has been called Extreme Progressive Metal.

So in that case I'd vote them (they are one of my favorite bands all around)

I can't really pick one band as far as extreme music goes

I LOVE The Faceless.

The bands I've been listening to alot lately though are

Belphegor
Kult ov Azazel
Samael
Moonspell
Warrel Dane solo

By extreme, I mean anything that sounds extreme to your ears. Usually black, death, grind, etc., but not limited to that. It could be an amalgam of them all, kinda like Akercocke.

if you want extreme - melodic/black/grind listen to this crap


i think its fucking awesome i mean screams grunts clean vocals, blast beats, awesome melodics...just awesome

..think its been posted here before though...

new AN is fucking insane.

 

[firewalkjen]

Yes I definately agree with ya there!!

I like a lot of what I hear from The Faceless and also WhiteChapel, but you definitely have to be in the mood for it. At times it can be amazing, and at other times it can cause your ears to bleed!

no idea. i guess most of what i listen to is "extreme". I wouldn't be able to narrow it down to one.

USELESS POST!

Vital Remains

Pre-Benton VR >>>>>> Benton VR

Though the melodic break in the titletrack still gets me.

I still think that Strapping Young Lad are more extreme than every extreme metal band and write better songs and are heavier and faster and more complex than everyone and they are pretty much just fucking around all the time which must make real "extreme" metal bands feel really shitty about themselves.

 

[Super Mahrio]

Belphegor
Samael
Moonspell

I am Mah and i approve this post.

Umm the term extreme metal has always been weird to me but hmm... I guess Immolation counts, eh?

 

[Dead Winter]

I'd personally classify extreme metal as any metal you wouldn't see videos of on MTV...if they do have videos, they're not shown very often.

AN sounds kinda cool actually. There's still nothing heavier than a cool groove. Most extreme bands tend to forget that.

 

[Weizenkeim]

incidentally, it sounds like AN have listened to their share of SYL

Benighted wins it for me. Ultra brutal yet infectious and weird

 

[10_COURICS_ALONE]

Benighted wins it for me. Ultra brutal yet infectious and weird
