He had this all wrong. The best way to find “extreme metal” is to call a song the heaviest thing you’ve heard and check the comment section.

[@PortugueseMACPOW]

Ah what do you know? You're just a core kid

"Extreme Metal" is basically an umbrella term, so that's probably where you're getting tripped up. The melodeath stuff would fall under extreme metal. It's basically just any metal that happens to have the more "extreme" elements (growled/screeched vocals, blast beats/fast double bass, tremolo picking, etc.).

[@SunRayz3r]

Same with “heavy metal” a “genre” or label, I dislike because it’s super vague. All Metal is heavy except maybe Doom Metal. It comes down to HOW heavy.

[@digitalmortality2001]

I second that. ​@@digitalmortality2001

No tech death bands in an "extreme metal" playlist is criminal. Spotify never fails to frustrate

[@BlackVeilSpectra]

There is tech death in the playlist for me. The playlist is different for each person.

[@chasm9557]

It was missing some mathcore as well. Something like Car Bomb or Dillinger Escape Plan definitely belongs there.

[@charlespeter5610]

I saw some of the new Suffocation in the list

[@certifiedmonkey5003]

I saw alkaloid at at around 3:30 dont know if they are necessarily tech death though

[@iamdecentatguitar1091]

There was quite a few

[@jackdunc]

Its definately partially made for you because for me the top five are Necrowretch, Misery Index, Nile, Gorgoroth and Immortal with pretty much no core throughout the playlist.

[@NEKROMONICON.]

Nile was always a GO/TO for me every year around ages 14-16. Been 19-23. They are amazing

[@S4B3R117]

Yeah these are all whipped by algorithms for each person

[@paladinminipedro707]

You are correct. I have rock playist made for me by spotify and it that list has Orbit Culture on it hahahaha!!

[@josejesushernandezbustillo9139]

Right, the playlist's stuff is more deathcore, beatdown and melodic death metal than extreme shit like tech death, butral, deathgrind and any subgenre of black metal

[@NEKROMONICON.]

@@josejesushernandezbustillo9139 I agree, 100%. I mean if we’re talking just technical death metal that could be its own sub genre. If we’re talking blast beat death core that’s another group of bands. You can’t really make a top 10 of extreme metal bands these days there’s just so many bands. You could do a top 50 may be a top 20 you would have to include every sub genre of metal imo

[@mason_dale]

Defeated Sanity, Disgorge, Brodequin, Ecchymosis, Excoriation, Delusional Parasitosis, Mortal Decay, Gorevent etc.

[@Hauntingthechappell]

Putridity

[@johnwalker6675]

This is what what I was hoping for but not surprised by the lack of it. Excresence is amazing as well

[@waltermodel9730]

Devourment

[@jdb5961]

​@Hauntingthechappell best band ever. Also Cephalotripsy, Orchidectomy, Liturgy, Internal Bleeding, and Devourment

[@pastromer8552]

i could find more extreme metal in my dads garage than in this playlist

[@FergusonFiller]

yeah spotify’s playlists are straight ass

[@metaltrucker97]

Probably "Pornografiti" on cassette

[@lynxlubbpeeps]

It's just your dad banging his car with a wrench from frustration.

[@mikeaquelarre6992]

[@XwoooahX]

I think they just defined Extreme metal as anything with harsh vocals

[@Qui-Gon_Jinn69]

yeah, probably

[@jordans.2675]

The thing about extreme metal is that you have to dig into the underground of it to find the gems

[@cool_sword]

I actually don't think this is true. There's lots of relatively unknown bands, but bands that get popular while being "true" tend to be very good. I think the relative elitism of black and death metal fans helps with this.

[@altuervo]

I bought a random ahh cd (i never heard of the band before) last month and i actually loved the songs. It was satanic north

[@Mason_____]

I think thats the case for metal in general. Theres a lot of lame popular bands in the gatekeeper bible that are just so mid its insane. There are people that legit go off on KZbin comments for years about how Cattle Decapitation "went soft". Bruh..........

[@ryantannar5301]

traditionally extreme metal just meant Black Metal, Thrash Metal, Doom Metal, or Death Metal. it has nothing to do with how heavy a song is or anything else. It's extreme metal if it is in one of those genres

[@eziofreya7541]

​@@ryantannar5301the definition according to some fans is, the one subgenre thats expanding from traditional metal trope like darker music no clean vocals and shit

[@Certified_P.O.5]

DSBM is Depressing Su!c!dal Black Metal. It's a genre of black metal. Usually known for their wails and low growls. And the topics of loss, hate, death, and sadness.

[@dragongaymer5734]

I always argue for niche metal sub-genres but I honestly feel like that's just taking it a little far lol. I could be wrong but I don't really see a large enough difference between DSBM and regular black metal for their to be a distinction.

Extreme metal? Should probably check out the New Wave of British Death Metal (NWOBDM) bands, like Celestial Sanctuary, Mortuary Spawn and Vacuous. That is probably where the UK extreme metal scene is today, along with the older, active extreme metal acts like Cradle of Filth and My Dying Bride.

Funny how within the same day, I'm listining to Volumes, Erra, etc, and then the next hour I have Abominable Putridity and Carcass playing

[@Owlr4ider]

You were looking for DSBM: Depressive Suicidal Black Metal. Anyway, Melodic Death Metal is technically still considered as Extreme Metal, as are all the Black and Death Metal sub-genres. I do agree with you that Melodic Death Metal is the lightest of all the Extreme Metal sub-genres, but it's still in there, right on the edge of the spectrum.

Its about the heavy riffs and aggressive vocals. And you can understand the lyrics if you listen, and a lot of the time, its brutal as fuck. Like one of my favorite albums of all time, Whitechapels Somatic Defilement. The lyrics are all shit about mutilating woah mans corpses and shit.

What i like about extreme metal is like you said: the vocals are more supporting and the focus is on the instrumentals. Extreme metal is a very broad term tho. The songs you picked are more melo death, and certainly it is extreme metal too, but theres missing a lot of stuff. IDK if you need more suggestions but if you do check out: Blood Incantation, Spirit Possession, Black Curse, Yellow Eyes, Ultha, Fluisteraars, Division Speed, Necros Christos, Tomb Mold. These are some of my favourites. And if you also count funeral doom to extreme metal, check out ahab and bell witch.
