Okay, here`s the deal. I`ve loathed Extreme Metal for quite some time now. Being mostly into stuff like Dream Theater, Symphony X, Threshold, Arena, Shadow Gallery and their like, the most "extreme" music I`ve listened to extensively has been Finntroll, Soilwork and Meshuggah. Yeah, I can feel your despise right from here. To me, 3xtr3me death metal had always sounded like perpetual blast beats with some guitars playing random shit while the vocalist, who sounded like a camel gurgling his own vomit just growled some random shit. That was until I heard Origin.
When I first loaded "Portal" into my Winamp, I was like HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Maybe it was so god damn extreme that it just clicked. Who knows. Well, I liked the songs I found at their mp3.com page, and I am considering buying their new album. But first, I want you guys to recommend some of your favourite stuff. Note, that sound is very important to me. I can`t stand the trebly mix you hear on obscure black metal records. I need some shit with good, clear production where all the instruments can be heard. Black Metal or Death Metal, the same deal. Just tell me what I should check out.
