MAY EXTREME METAL LIVE ON!
Extreme metal rules! But ive never heard of arch eneny, only arch enemy A couple of good under rated bands - Scar Symmetry and Darkane
Well, for Tool and TMV its ok, lets keep it to bands who have albums coming up! But while its here, I do love some extreme metal. Opeth is one of my favourite bands, as well as stuff like Dillinger Escape Plan, Meshuggah, Between the Buried and Me, In Flames, Agalloch, and some early Avenged Sevenfold is pretty sweet.
Old Avenged Sevenfold may be sweet, but they're not metal, let alone extreme. it was more hardcore than anything. I forgot to mention BTBAM. they're a great band. also, check out Children of Bodom if you haven't already. I guarantee that 85% of you won't like them.
I don't get why you'd exclude Slipknot just because they're so mainstream right now and everyone likes them. "Extreme" metal? I'd say Slipknot is pretty "extreme" metal. Korn definitely isn't, but it seems like you're just saying not to put them because of their popularity right now, not because of the music they make. I believe many screaming professionalists have said the Corey Taylor has perfected the ability to scream. He can do it perfectly. They're extreme without a doubt.
Thank you. Strapping Young Lad are indeed awesome. Alien is some of the craziest metal I've ever heard. Especially the song Shitstorm.
ROFL. yeah, you've made that clear on myspace. 10 bucks says the only thing that scares you is the album covers @Rinkin-Shitstorm and Shine can snap necks. ever heard "Relentless"? @zakrisk-please, for the love of god, don't call Slipknot extreme metal. that would totally ruin this thread.
That and the singing/screaming. Obviously not my kind of band to listen to, but I appreciate their sound. How they play is amazing.
yeah, you have to admit, their guitar work is amazing and how it's complimented by the keyboards. if you don't like the screaming-ish stuff, check out their newest album, specifically "We're Not Gonna Fall".
problem is with the new album, is that....it sucks to a lot of old CoB fans, but at the same time it's gained them thousands. yeah, there's not a lot of death metal in the new CoB.
True, i thought 'Are You Dead Yet' was great, until testament told me to download some of their earlier stuff, their earlier stuff is much much better.
Nah, never heard Relentless. I definitely will though if you're making me infer that it's crazier than Shitstorm and Shine.
So what's missing from Slipknot to be an extreme metal band? Please tell. You mention Atreyu being "extreme metal." Okay well let's compare. Atreyu has hard guitar riffs, screaming through most of their songs, with some melodic choruses and singing. Slipknot has hard guitar riffs, Corey is screaming throughout each song almost the whole time, with some not so screaming, sometimes singing choruses. Alright...I don't see what makes the other more extreme.
