I'm not getting into genre battles, so here is my favorite 10 groups of any extreme metal genre.

 

[Triumphant Apostle]

1. Opeth-Also my favorite band regardless of genre. By the way they are death metal regardless of what some people might say. Brutal vocals like that are considered death metal, period.
2. Samael-The most underrated band in all of extreme metal in my opinion.
3. Death-R.I.P. Chuck.
4. Morbid Angel
5. Bloodbath
6. In Flames
7. At The Gates
8. Dark Tranquillity
9. Dimmu Borgir
10. Epicurean-My friends band. Check 'em out at Epicureanmetal.com

Black Metal:

1) Abigor
2) Arcturus
3) Old Man's Child
4) Dimmu Borgir
5) Emperor
6) Sirius
7) Dark Funeral
8) Cradle of Filth
9) Siebenburgen
10) Chthonic

I would mention Ancient for the simple fact that i loved "The Cainian Chronicles", but i simply cannot stand anything else they have released. Also, i would add Apotheosis, because i love "Farthest from the Sun" so damn much!

1) Edge of Sanity
2) Opeth
3) Carcass
4) Malevolent Creation
5) Vader
