Eh, pic related has its moments if you're in the market for poppy as fuck, loud as fuck metal but I warn you, it is incredibly hit or miss. But if you're just looking to shut your brain off for 45 minutes to some riffs, this is surprisingly adequate. On that note,

pretty much on point but I would put sludge doom at the very bottom

just like most other subgenres

Anybody know some doom like this?
like so https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd6lXvnPL9w
>>
>>60735930

MDB has left their comfort zone on occasion with shit like 34.788% Complete or Evinta, albeit to debatable success. Also, I feel like they got considerably more depressed and less angry in their outlook after Dreadful Hours, though Feel The Misery is kinda a return to Dreadful Hours form in a way.

Anathema has been consistently good but Silent Enigma notwithstanding it kinda feels like metal's always been a slightly odd fit for them. They seem much more comfortable in their skin from Judgement onwards.

Paradise Lost is fucking Paradise Lost, they're gonna do whatever the hell they want and somehow it'll be fine. They've pulled so much shit at this point that the most surprising thing they could do now is settle on a sound.

Alright we all know about death metal and black metal as far as extreme metal genres go. We also know about self-labelled "extreme power metal" bands such as Stormlord and Dragonforce.

But how about other kinds of extreme metal?

Is there such a thing as extreme glam metal? Extreme thrash metal?

Does Funeral Doom count as extreme doom metal? Or would that rather be drone metal? Or is drone metal extreme sludge metal?

How far can we take the concept of "extreme metal"?
>>
>>60736030
death/doom = funeral doom > sludge doom > black doom > gothic doom = drone doom = trad doom > stoner doom
>>
>>60735873
Birthday Massacre, Lacuna coil (though their recent album was horrid), and Girugamesh.
>>
>>60736067
I also think non-metal music suits Anathema better, but it would be really funny if they suddenly dropped a death doom album.

Paradise Lost might be the only metal band that didn't go to shit when they sold out, their mid era stuff was definitely inferior, but not bad.

>>60736098
Extreme is kinda meaningless word
>>
>>60736030
Progressive Space Doom (Monolithe) > Funeral Doom > Epic Power Doom (aka Candlemass) > Drone Doom = Industrial Doom= Blackened Doom > Trad Doom = Gothic Doom > Stoner Doom > Sludge > Atmosludge
>>
Why isn't there much progressive doom yet?
>>
>>60736098
grindcore is extreme metalcore
>>
>>60736149
I get that, but I'm kinda curious as to what extreme glam metal would sound like.

I guess the closest existing things are Dir En Grey and The CNK.
>>
atmosludge is really just gay post rock with heavier guitars

why it gets labeled "sludge" or even "metal" is beyond me
>>
>>60736098
Yes theres loads of extreme thrash, basically proto death metal, demolition hammer, dark angel, morbid saint
>>
>>60736142

>Birthday Massacre
>Lacuna Coil

My African-American brethren, though I'm really, REALLY ready for Lacuna Coil to stop trying to force the buttrock angle. Not sure if that's ever gonna happen, though.
>>
>>60736182
Because it requires artists to have an EPIC COSMIC VISION, like the dude from Monolithe.

it also gets labeled as "post-metal" which is a more fitting title desu

>>60736187
pretty sure it's rather extreme crust punk.

>>60736212
Fair enough then how about extreme industrial metal?

>>60736224
still a retarded title because it implies that you can somehow "move beyond" Metal, when Metal is more of an abstract category than a historically-determined genre at this point. What's even more laughable is that "post-metal" is actually pretty backwards historically speaking since it's mostly just atmospheric rock.

2bh proto-slam is really great

if you're unaware, the bands that paved the way for slam were the first brutal tech bands, Suffocation and Dying Fetus, who are both really (deservedly) acclaimed death metal bands

i mean fuck, one of the first riffs in Effigy of the Forgotten is the literal first slam riff

Every element on the album art represents a song on the album.
Yes, that's Dream Theater's idea of symbolism

they literally just put a representation of every song in the cover art

I fanboyed Dream Theater in high school.
I don't know what any of that shit means except the broken glass is probably about Portnoy's alcoholism and the blue sky is about one of the member's dad who died and him forgiving him for his faults.

He's right.

Do you guys listen to metal mostly through headphones or on speakers?

My speakers are shit so I use headphones, but I seem to get listening fatigue from them quicker than I would on speakers.

>>60740119
That's classic DT, they did that same shit on I&W and Awake.

>>60740123
the dude illuminate shit represents A Dark Passage (a song that's literally about illuminati lmao).
The elephant represents good memory, together with the blue sky they stand for that song about Portnoy's dad.
The elephant being scared of the mice stand for The Count of Tuscany
The raven and moons are for A Nightmare to Remember.
>>
>>60740134
Headphones. I like to absorb as much of a song as possible. And I use Skullcandy Ink'd.
Yeah, I get shit on by audiophiles but I have never found ones that sound as good for so cheap. Sony, Bose, Phillips, Turtle Beach ( I know they're more for gaming), all that shit.

Kek. Ever since that keyboardist left them in the late 90's they've had shit lyrics and symbolism. Images and Words and Awake are the only albums I enjoy entirely from them anymore.

Ok guys, you need to hear this, it's essentially a bunch of teenagers making shitty prog metalcore and the only reason anyone gives a fuck about them is because the drummer's father is Mike Portnoy who apparently produced the album, but I think he has done much more.

You don't have to listen to the whole album, the first track alone (which is called really extremely creatively The Edge of Sanity) is pure gold, it starts with extremely original intro of thunder and bells before transition into chug chug riffs and terrible screaming vocals, but the best part is the middle section which contains random drum fills and several samples of, I kid you not, Internet memes, when I heard that part for the first time I was laughing for straight 2 minutes.
(Kudos if you can guess all of them)

Isn't it obvious? Prog metal is for pedophiles. Hell, the "PROG" in prog metal doesn't actually stand for "progressive" as is commonly believed. It's actually an acronym that means Pedophiles Raping Orphaned Goobers
