Fahrenheit1221: Eh, whether you like them or not, you'd have to admit Nasum and Cannibal Corpse are rather extreme.

i-am-venom fails...I mean, I support the claim Cradle of Filth *are* extreme metal. But Evanescence aren't gothic metal, maybe with influenced from but are not...

The only band on the top artists that actually is "extreme" or deserves to be called as such are ANAAL NATHRAKH.

right guys lets get things strait, i am god so listen please.... cradle of filth started off as death metal (krieg make up the lot), they then started to get money so started to fail a bit and their music changed to gothic metal. they are now extreme metal, as they are too heavy for gothic metal (really do you think evanesense sounds anything like CoF) so i win stop arguing now please.
