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.

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.

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...

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.

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

Slayer are difficult to describe - I'd call

What are your favorite Prog Metal bands? |
Please do not consider this a troll post but... How is it possibel to
label every single band? Some groups reinvented themselves every single
album. Sometimes people say a band with 10 albums is not prog
because they have heard one of their albums.
Slayer is a speed metal band or a thrash metal band or both. There
vocalist does not sound like the singer of Opeth or Cannibal Corpse so
no, they are not death metal. And I say that with Divine Intervention being the last Slayer I have heard. Look I am a hypocrite.
I think my favorite thrash band is Sodom. From Better Off Dead - Code Red they have been awesome thrash.
Forget In Flames, Dark Tranqulity, and Gothenberg in General. Coroner were the best technical death thrash band ever. I like Grin, Mental Vortex and No More Color.
Rage was speed and thrash but maybe (depending on opinion) at one point in their career became symphonic prog metal, see Lingua Mortis, XIII and Ghosts. I do like Black in Mind, Perfect Man, Secrets in a Weird World, The Missing Link and Trapped. I do think these fit more in the speed thrash label.
Mekong Delta started out as
speed and thrash with progressive touches, but eventually became almost
prog rock. Maybe they were just metal, but their last two release were
not speed thrash.
I hope I do not seem like a jerk, but can you see my point about labeling?

I prefer them to Venom. Reign in Blood all the way through Divine
Intervention were great. They used to be one of my favorites but I have
lost interest.

Also; if you are interested in the roots of extreme metal, I strongly suggest you to check Venom's "Black Metal". It's from 1982, and you can tell.  But still, considering their satanic lyrics combined with the soaring guitars and the fuzzy sound, these guys were surely seen as very extreme in the 80's. 
Edit. They're Britons by the way, not Norwegians, although Norway is the home of black metal these days. |
