Extreme metal
Encyclopedia : E : EX : EXT : Extreme metal
Extreme metal is a broad term for metal subgenres of a more aggressive style than traditional heavy metal.
Extreme metal is characterized by its tempo, which may range from fast-paced, as in death metal, to the extremely slow-paced, as in funeral doom. Drummers often utilize double bass drumming and blast beats, though not all make use of these techniques. Vocals are performed in a growl, scream, or both, with some vocalists also using clean-sung vocals, though just how "clean" these vocals are varies widely.
