I think those bands combine Melodic Death elements with Power Metal elements. Maybe some bands the vocals become blackish but the previous label attracts more the listener even clean Death Metal fans thats my opinion.

Melodic Death maybe lil but more I say its speed metal whit power metal, becaus efor example CoF are werry fast power, and vocals isnt typical death metal growls, its hard to desrcibe those genres and define tham

Extreme man its fast and cheesy if its more hoe power/speed but real power/speed was in 90ties, so it can not be extreme power

i think it's a mix of melodic death with a few power metal influences, but for example the singing (if you can call it singing lol, the first albums were screamed, not sung) is typically death metal style.

I said the bands who are called "extreme power metal" bands need a new name because it's wrong to call the style like that ! cob and all the others are simply not power metal, not even extreme, it's some sort of violent melodic death metal

Are all black/death and trash bands with powermetal influences not extreme powermetal?

COB is not "extreme power metal"

the guitar playing of COB is very fast and melodic, so it's a bit of power metal too (like dragonforce and all the other bands)

How Does one keep up with all these genre, and how or who decides to create another. I'm sure a lot of bands just play their music or what they love to hear not thinkin what they're going to be categorized as, but yet they are caught in this mess. Me personally I think we should just have the basics and not try not narrow it anymore than needed.

I support the term "Extreme", but I'm amazed nobody has proposed also the term "Extreme melodic metal", is it really too stupid, or is accurate??? that would help to close a lot of open links.

You are not alone in this way of thinking, but neither are the people who DO care about genres. If you don't care, just stay out of the discussion, is it that hard? Regarding your opening line, new genres are "created" when a moderate to large number of bands begin a movement by playing with a new sound.

OK, I respect your opinion and surprisingly I agree with you, but I do feel I have the right of Freedom Of Speech, at least in my country do I, and well earned too. therefore I will continue posting my opinion. Thank you for the information on how the categorization works though.

Please stop referring to [melodic] death metal until you actually know what you're talking about, by hearing how bands like Death and Morbid Angel created the first, basic form of death metal in the mid 80s by taking thrash metal and feeding it with more dissonance and chaos, and then in the very early 90s bands like Dismember and Carcass combined this death metal with an obvious sense of melody to create true melodic death metal. Nothing in the sound of bands like CoB has anything to do with the early works of Dismember, and likewise, same bands have nothing to do with melodic death metal. The items in your collection here on MS that are labelled under "death" are only fringe forms of death metal, so please listen to and learn the roots of death before continuing to make incorrect references to melodic death metal.

Once more, you cannot define a genre by placing the majority of your reasoning solely on the vocals.

Whatever the artists say they are is what they are, if COB says that they are melodic death metal than thats what they are, and the pseudo-intellectuals who are pulling these stupid genre names out their asses should get the hell out.

Written by Guest on 23.07.2008 at 23:53

There are way too many sub-genres and sub-sub-genres, its absurd. Just the other day I heard about a band being labled 'brutal melodic folk metal'. Wha...? Same thing with 'extreme power metal'. Whatever the artists say they are is what they are, if COB says that they are melodic death metal than thats what they are, and the pseudo-intellectuals who are pulling these stupid genre names out their asses should get the hell out.

You've got it backwards, it's the artists who come up with most of the retarded genre names. The fans are the ones who try to make sense of it all.
