Top 5 obscure Extreme Metal Albums?

Question

Here are my top 5 extreme Metal albums that aren't really mentioned alot around here

Absu - Tara (Blackened Thrash??). The drumming is amazing in this album (Proscriptor, who is also the singer) puts on a show. Check out his double bass rolls at 0:52

Akercocke - Choronzon - Can be extremely brutal/fast but also has clean vocals slower sections as well

Drudkh - Blood In Our Wells (black metal ) Very atmospheric somewhat similar to a burzum album

Sigh -Scorn Defeat (black metal) Japanese black metal band which started out as a very raw BM style...now they have experimental albums like "Imaginary Sonicscape" which I also posted a clip of

Let me know what you think, and give me some of your suggestions

Answer 1

Good stuff you have there... How about "The Merciless" by Aura Noir http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O8_CKZYI...

The song is called "Black Metal Jaw"

Also, there's a Doom artist called Aarni. "Bathos" is really cool! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpkvY_Y4j...

The song here is called "The Thunder, Perfect Mindf*ck"

Here's some High On Fire... I don't know if you consider them Extreme or even Obscure, but whatever... "Surrounded by Thieves" is the album. "Hung, Drawn and Quartered" is the song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmsXYwrZx...

Those are mine for now...

Edit-- Yeah, I just discovered Aarni... I'm getting desperate to find some of his stuff... but I figure I'm out of luck

Answer 2

Origin - Finite (Techical Death Metal)

Answer 5

Obscure extreme metal huh?  Well, if YOU haven't heard it, that makes it obscure. All those bands to me are super popular groups.

I guess i'll list some awesome bands and you can take your pick of who is obscure and who isn't. (Dimmu Borgir isn't obscure LMAO they were on Ozzfest for christ's sake)

1 Melechesh - proscriptors other band from Israel

2 Tsjuder - Swedish black metal

3. Enochian Crescent - Finnish black metal

4. Behexen - Finnish black metal

5. Impaled Nazarene - Finnish black metal

6. Carpathian Forest - just figure out where the rest are from, my wrist hurts.

7. Repugnant

8. Bloodbath

9. Ajattara

10. Blood Red Throne

11. Kalmah

12. Catamenia

13. Cirith Gorgor

14. Gospel of the Horns

15. Destroyer 666

I could go on forever, but here's a tiny list. In my opinion, all of their albums are good.

Answer 6

Cybion by Kalisia ( advance release )

Cryopsis by Cryopsis

The Snow White Rose of Paradise by Empyrean Sky

For Giving For Getting by Elenium

Fragments of a Withered Dream by Compos Mentis

that's the best I can think of :)

Answer 7

Extreme metal?

Uhhhh, does Demoniac count? They sounded like early DragonForce with black metal vocals.

And they're totally obscure.
