I don't know whe ever tought of that name at all... and the strangest thing is when I see that Children Of Bodom are listed like that... quite frankly it pisses me off quite a lot!
and the most annoying thing is that I've read for example Alexi Laiho say that it doesn't matter how that style of the band is reffered to by people no matter if they say black, death or whatever kind of metal AS LONG AS IT'S NOT POWER METAL! And I really don't think that Children Of Bodom and Manowar for example should be both counted in the same cathegory... and I don't really think that the word "extreeme" changes so much... and I don't think it's the same style at all... for me the two styles have nothing in common...
and I think it is alfully rude and wrong to try to push a genre name to people that even the bands that are supposed to be in do not agree with... for me the most important opinion about stuff like that is the one of the people who create the music... there for if a band does not consider themselves something, you don't have the right to tell them what kind of music they play... especially when the bands is not made from complete retards...
I think people here should drop this gender name and go with melodic death metal or something... or finnish melodic death metal... or in other cases with Gothenburg Metal or something... But for me Extreeme Power Metal is comlitly incorrect... especially for Children Of Bodom

Poll

Do you agree with such genre label?

Yep! I think it's correct...

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.


Total and utter nonsense this post.
So if Children of Bodom say they play doom metal then that is the case?

I think it sounds good but maybe the correct genre for COB and other similar bands is Melodic Death / Power Metal!!!


No disagree there can be death/doom, death/black, death/thrash but death / power its from diferent family, but if you say death like die in cemetary and flowers grows why not

I honestly think it comes down to conveying a message. I like to use the term "Extreme Power metal" because when i say it, people know exactly what bands and what style's I'm talking about. That and it saves time from saying "Melodic powered death black metal", or whatever other people use to describe Bodom, Norther ect.

There hasn't been many other things to mix with metal that hasn't been done already. Anything between random noise to classical music (Which is why I fucking love this genre so much).

So when something "different" (and I use that word cautiously) comes along why not give them a new genre in order to illustrate what you mean exactly. I'm not usually one to stereo type or classify things, but music IS about showing ideas. And extreme Power metal, in my opinion is just another concept to convey.

First time I heard the term "Extreme power metal" was in reference to DragonForce, THEN in reference to Bodom, so I was always a bit fuzzy on it...

Only problem is Children of Bodom refers to themselves as "Murder Metal" which is freekin rediculous....then every damn band can think up their own nonsense to make themselves more unique and we end up with 400 different sub-genres for more or less the same thing.

Dragonforce is absolutely not Extreme Power metal. There's nothing extreme in their music..

This is what pisses me off the most about the whole genre labeling thing, it's practical use is to simplify a band's sound into a specific category alongside similar bands, which makes it easy to recommend to people who like that style. What we end up with is overuse and "extreme" exaggeration, what ever happened to the law of parsimony?

This is a joke right?

Speaking of the topic, I'm not one who likes to use sub-sub-sub genre titles, but I think it applies. Its just easier saying Extreme Power Metal than saying "Power metal with harsher vocals".

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.


Holy Hell! Someone who gets it!

True melodic death metal does NOT equal the popular gothenburg style. There is very little actual death metal influence in bands like Soilwork and In Flames (even the old stuff) aside from the vocals and the occasional blast beat.

An example: Listen to almost any song off of Arch Enemy's pinnacle album "Wages of Sin" Now slow down the drums and take out the growling vocals. What you are left with is a song I you might find on a late 80's early 90's Judas Priest album.

The exact same test works with Children of Bodom or any other Extreme Power Metal band. You have to get past the vocals (which aren't real death metal vocals anyways) and you'll find that the music doesn't sound remotely like any death metal band you can name.

Thank you guy I am quoting for having a freaking clue...


i agree, people who say that bands like soilwork, in flames, arch enemy are all death metal bands have obviously not heard them before. Soilwork has some death metal influences in their very early ages they did but around the album Natual Born Chaos they kinda changed to heavy metal / Metalcore. In flames was never death metal to begin with even their vocals are not death metal. people need to listen more carefully to the music before they say something stupid about them.

Well I dont see them as straight up death metal - The past couple of albums have been much more melodic than what I would normally consider death metal. Could be wrong I guess...but if you ask me Hypocrisy is what I would base melodic death on. If not what do you consider melodic death? Since it seems that many of the bands on MS who everone assumed is melodic death suddenly is not.

lol me neither I hardly like any death metal so Im not very sure about the proper classification. All I know is Hypocrisy sounds the way I think Melodic Death metal should sound. None of this electronic bullshit, just really in your face and very ,melodic - makes sense to me to call them melodic death metal I guess.

why? Those bands have noting in comon with thrash metal at all. Calling them melodic or symphonic thrash metal is just as stupid as calling them melodic death metal


so as call them power dont you think?


power metal is the appropriate label for them cause they play powe rmetal. Just listen to the instrumntal parts and all it is is a quicker version of Stravarius, Sonata Arctica and those other horrible European flower metal bands. It is just the vocals generally and a bit in the speed that makes them slightly different to those other cheese masters.

I Disagree they play in a darker vein but yes they are melodic like power but i just dont think power is the right label but oh well
if melodic death and melodic thrash doesnt help so i guess thats the correct one

Melodic, Nocturnus used keybords and in that case you labeled them power to?
Old Mans Child Use keybords, you labeled band power black to?

Marcel - and poeple only know nowdays Stratovarius, ''Fight Club'' was good album if we look at nowdays albums and it
