Yay, more lists!
I love Extreme Metal, as if you havn't noticed. The best Metal bands to me have a way of being incredibly heavy, yet still very musical and innovative at the same time. To narrow the focus, "extreme" is Death, Black, and (some) Thrash metal and Grindcore. Also, if you want to include Doom and Sludge records, just make sure they qualify as extreme. Obviously this is where it will get tricky, as my definition of extreme could be completley different than yours. But, don't include something like "Master of Puppets", as wonderful and heavy as it is, it is far from Extreme Metal. In my opinion, the first Extreme Metal albums are Venom's "Black Metal" and Slayer's early albums. So things in that vein. Note; I am omitting Metallica albums for this thread for two reasons. One is because I don't consider them Extreme Metal, though certainly one of the key influences on Extreme Metal. Two is the fact that if I was to include them, I would have to include thier first three records all of which I love unequivocally. Therefore, I wouldn't have as much room for the other many Metal records that have been damaging my ears all these years. Here Goes: 1. Darkthrone-Transylvanian Hunger 2. Deicide-Legion 3. Napalm Death-Scum 4. Hellhammer-Demon Entrails 5. At The Gates-Slaughter of the Soul 6. Eyehategod-Dopesick 7. Death-Scream Bloody Gore 8. Terrorizer-Terrorizer 9. Gorgoroth-Pentagram 10. Mayhem-De Mysterriis Dom Santhanas 11. Beherit-Drawing Down the Moon 12. Morbid Angel-Domination 13. Darkthrone-Under a Funeral Moon 14. Cryptopsy-Blasphemy Made Flesh 15. Brutal Truth-Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses 16. Immortal-At the Heart of Winter 17. Death-Leprosy 18. Mercyful Fate-In the Shadows 19. Slayer-Reign in Blood 20. Gorgoroth-Incipit Satan |

Yeah, I'd definitely throw some WITR if I made a list. I don't really listen to much extreme metal though so I'm not gonna attempt.

you see, i love burzum, and almost included "filosofem", but there's one thing about his music which will always keep him off my list of favorites; his vocals. the best black metal vocals will always sound like screaming, but upon closer listen are more like screeching whispers, suggesting all sorts of satanic things to you. burzum's vocals sadly to these ears fall into the realm of "pussy ass whiny bitch" vocals.

i was gonna say anal cunt "morbid florist", but they have that humorous free noise thing about them, i am pretty sure their music is 99 percent joke. so i kept it to metal bands who take thier shit dead serious, and end up still being pretty funny (case in point: immortal).

1. Beat Happening- Black Candy
2. Belle & Sebastian- If You're Feeling Sinister 3. The For Carnation- S/T 4. Daniel Johnston- Yip Jump Music 5. Beat Happening- Jamboree that's all I can be bothered to do right now. They're dark super aggressive sounds burden my soul with so much evil I can only name 5 Extreme metal albums at once without going into a horrible transformation. |

This is why I couldn't begin to make a list. All of my favorite "extreme metal" is on the fringes of something else too. The band that comes immediately to my mind is The Flying Luttenbachers who obviously are as much noise and free jazz (and for that matter punk) as metal. Yet I still think Weasel Walter takes his metal riffs further to the extreme than many a death metal act. |

You may have seen me rep Weasel in a shitload of other threads; he's my absolute favorite contemporary musician. And he has amazing taste to boot. But anyways, this thread is about tunes that would blatantly be referred to as "extreme metal", no confusion with noise, jazz, free improv, prog, or things of those types. this shouldnt be that hard to come up with for anyone who listen to metal. |

In no order:
1. Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger 2. Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse 3. Mayhem - Live in Leipzig 4. Fimbulwinter - Servants of Sorcery 5. Candlemass - Nightfall 6. Bathory - Bathory 7. Bathory - Hammerheart 8. Morbid - December Moon (though this is a demo) 9. Burzum - Filosofem 10. Weakling - Dead as Dreams 11. Darkthrone - Under a Funeral Moon 12. Krallice - Krallice 13. Mercyful Fate - Melissa/In the Beginning Okay, I didn't quite make it to twenty. And my list is almost entirely black metal (the exceptions are Candlemass (doom) and Morbid (death)). But I'm planning to buy albums by Necrophagist and Death as soo as possible.

I don't really see why Mercyful Fate are extreme metal though. They sound quite similar to early Iron Maiden (twin guitars, great vocals (more like Paul Di'Anno than Bruce Dickenson)).
