Yeah, nowadays the underground is surprisingly the strongest in the east, Russia and Ukraine have a lot of great bands, like Hate Forest, Drudkh and also in France and Germany, with Deathspell Omega, Katharsis etc. Black metal is still going strong.

I need to hear more of these bands. Drudkh definitely are lovely though.


Hell yeah.

Deathspell Omega is probably the best modern BM band, not just because their music is highly innovative but also because the lyrics on their latest album, Si Monumentum Requices Circumspice are very intelligent and thought-provoking. One might even call it a concept album -> prog

I am very surprised that no one has mentioned either of these two bands yet:

Sportlov -black metal with winter sports/holiday themes. The song "Snöbollskrieg" has such great lyrics. Of course, you have to be able to understand Swedish, but what the heck...

Ninja Magic -It's ninja speed metal. 'nuff said.


Also, the song Bullet's Breath by Iniquity deserves a mention. I bow to everyone who can hear what they sing about without seeing the text. (Hell, I'll bow to anyone who can hear it with the text).

I don't know how accurate this is, but what seriously turns me off from the Eastern European black metal scene is that they really seem to be into the racist ideas of the original black metal chaps . So they can piss off . (NB I'm not at all saying that every group is racist, or even most groups, but even so...)

I like Necrophagist and Origin a little bit.  Extreme Metal fans are usually very cool people.  Well Extreme Death Metal fans, I don't really like Old School Death Metal or Black Metal fans.

progressive death metal is really interesting, such as death, opeth or cynic..i can only stand one black metal, and i really dont like it, but its not disgusting to me, which is marduk...as you can see the extreme metal is not my favorite genre...

Doesn't bother me that much. Sure, some of them are pure racist idiots, but Slavonic paganism, nature and Anti-judeo-christianity seem to be the main topics in their songs.

The rather strong nationalist ideologies in Eastern Europe seem quite natural to me. Remember; the Iron Curtain was over Eastern Europe for a long time.

My favourites, in no particular order:

Windir - everything in their catalogue. RIP Valfar.

Enslaved - Eld, Mardraum, ISA, Monumension, Below The Lights

Opeth - everything in their catalogue, My Arms Your Hearse perhaps being my favourite.

Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale, Sideshow Symphonies

Rakoth - Planeshift. Russian band with flute(!)

Nile - In Their Darkened Shrines, Black Seeds of Vengeance, Annihilation of the Wicked

Old Man's Child - Ill-Natured Spiritual Invasion, Revelation 666

Thorns - Thorns, Thorns vs Emperor

Immortal - At the Heart of Winter

Akercocke - Choronzon

Behemoth - Thelema 6

Other bands I listen to on occasion include Electric Wizard, Ophthalamia, Atrox, Morgul, Bloodbath, Vreid(the new band from the Windir guys), Satyricon etc.

Lots of Norwegian bands. There's a reason why we rule the extreme metal world

The only four extreme metal bands I can say are among my favorite bands are:

Wintersun
Megadeth
Children of Bodom
Cacophony

Slayer, Norther, In Flames, and Pantera are alright, too.

I've also heard plenty of other extreme metal bands, like Emperor, Immortal, Dimmu Borgir, Opeth, Cradle of Filth, Testament, King Diamond, Motorhead, and Exodus, and I guess they are cool, but I prefer other genres of music over extreme metal.

I used to listen some extreme metal a lot, but i rarely do anymore. I don't know why.

Krisiun - Having a great drummer

Malevolent Creation - father of Vader

Behemoth - Also superb

Biomechanical - Mindblowing thrash-death based extreme prog, try it!

Lock-up - Drummer is Nicholas Barker, what else to say?

Mayhem - Recent highly technical albums esp.

Hypocrisy

etc...

Many good bands mentioned in this thread, and black metal bands as well .

Sceptic is a very good Polish technical death metal band, somewhat in the Death vein.

Burning Witch's "Crippled Lucifer" is a little-known doom metal classic.

Suffocation and Immolation are also great.

Can't say the same for Incantation and Malevolent Creation

I think reactionary nationalism (in fact anything suchlike that comes as a reaction to something else) has much more potential to overstep the mark, for me anyway.

I'm going to sum all my thoughts from everything I have seen here:

1. Slayer are indeed a thrash metal band ...Mike

2. Trash metal is not used anywhere instead of Thrash Metal

3. I'm much more into heavy/thrash/power metal because when I was 12, I didnt know who Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis etc. were (I know thats an offence) but I certainly did know who Metallica, Maiden, Anthrax, Annihilator, Sepultura etc. were... dont blame me

4. Favourite bands (not classic): My dying bride, Paradise lost (-1995), In flames, At the gates, The haunted, Annihilator, Nevermore, and Psychotic Waltz (oups...sorry thats prog )
