One of my favorite albums ever but I was debating whether or not it belonged on an 'Extreme' metal list. Now that it's been nominated I'm definitely going to vote for it though.

if it wasnt then pretty much all thrash wouldnt and that'd be silly

i don't see any napalm death. why do you guys hate napalm death?

I've actually seen death metal fans online saying thrash isnt extreme metal .
Reminds me of those (funnily enough some are thrash metal fans) who say the original heavy metal bands of the 70s arent metal.

wow, lots of nominations! I'll be adding these asap... I def. think Agalloch counts, and very heavy doom def. counts (eg. Sleep, Electric Wizard, Yob, Cough) as well as sludgy stuff. Candlemass and Pentagram and other trad. doom doesn't fit.

So far everyone seems to know what fits, I haven't noticed any egregious nominations so far.

you didn't read the previous post did you

hopefully imago will get 51 flag posts

lol, I see it. very funny imago... obv. those aren't going on the list.

i cant see what point imago is trying to make there. just looking for attention as per

waiting for the "its just banter" post

Ripping Corpse - Dreaming with the Dead

i think its pretty fair to say anything by Boris from Pink onwards doesnt count?

pink & smile definitely shouldn't count imo

Yet Isis - Oceanic probably does.

How you gonna decide on this frobisher? Glad its not me running the poll, lol

I don't know enough about Boris! Did they turn into an indie band or something?

I think Isis counts -- if its long and experimental and complex that's extreme, but then that kind of definition would open the door to Tool, which certainly doesn't count. This is tough, I'll probably add anything that seems legit as there are already tons of stuff I've never heard being nominated, I guess this is based on the honor system. If I see obvious not-extreme stuff like Helloween or Iced Earth or Manowar, etc, those will not make it on the list. :)

This has me thinking about my early extreme metal experiences. This is probably way out there but does anyone remember the name of a notoriously bad goremetal/dm band with real obvious tacky drum machine drums? I think they're name started with a C, and one of their albums has like a zombie with a chainsaw on the cover... sorry that's really vague but maybe someone knows what I'm talking about.

Oh yeah and the early albums from the big 4 thrash bands count, but like for Metallica for example, I'm not going to add the Black Album or anything after.

they made albums after???

Frobisher you aren't thinking of Mortician are you
