The Extreme Metal Thread

Okay, I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only extreme metaller in this forum. This is a thread where people can discuss all things related to Death metal, Black metal, or even Grindcore.

Please Note: Extreme metal has absolutely nothing to do with bands like Slipknot, System of a Down, etc. as those are only commercial nu metal bands.

Anyhow right now I'm listening to my favorite black metal album: Gorgoroth's Pentagram. My favorite black metal bands include: Gorgoroth, Darkthrone, Beherit, Mayhem, Sargeist, Bathory, Emperor, Immortal, and Belphegor (okay they are blackened death metal, but whatever). Of course I also enjoy death metal but my favorites are far too many to list. So what are some of your favorite extreme metal bands/ablums?

Not real into the whole death metal/grindcore scene, but I do enjoy some bands. Probably my favorites are Napalm Death and Lord Gore. Cattle Decapitation and Agrophobic Nosebleed also arent bad. Anything else seems a bit too anti-melodic to me. I havent heard a lot of death metal/grindcore bands that carry a good, distinct melodic sound.

And I'm sure you weren't dissing nu metal bands, but just for the records, some nu metal isn't bad.

Some nu metal is good, yes. But I just thought I'd clarify something because most people mistake Slipknot and other such bands as extreme metal.

Anyhow, if you are looking for some death metal bands that carry a melodic sound I suggest you check out Vital Remains and Necrophagist. Well, Necrophagist is not so much melodic as it is insanely technical. You'd probably like it anyways.
