Go on. Any type of extreme. Extremely noisy, extremely heavy, extremely weird, or even extremely bad, give me your best (or worst) shot. ;)

This'll be interesting, at the very least...

Amazing Grace on bagpipes. Extremely evil.

Dragonland. Extremely awesome.

Marduk.

May what you want out of it... ;)

Go on. Any type of extreme. Extremely noisy, extremely heavy, extremely weird, or even extremely bad, give me your best (or worst) shot. ;)

This'll be interesting, at the very least...

Napalm Death - "The code is red...." and "Order of the leech". And the oul dog for the hard road - Slayer - "Reign in Blood".

Children of Bodom. Extremely extreme.

Dethklok. Extremely deth... klok.

from the top of my head: mezbow, aube, massona are extreme noisy and maybe ryoji ikeda, no real noise but it can drive people insane (as do most minimalist musicians). you might want to look for extreme noise on wiki or something

biosphere, drone ambient, cool in small doses, it's basically the same long note over and over again with some ambient sounds.

minimalism like steve reich. or ryoji ikeda, wich is also minimalist but electronic music instead of 'classical'.

the most extreme piece of music must be 4′33″ by john cage though.

Saliva especially the song "I Walk Alone"
Alter Bridge
Mercy Drive
Three Days Grace

Anthing by these bands is a good choice.

Alter Bridge? You couldn't get less extreme if you tried.

I would suggest Penderecki's Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima if you want some extreme music. Many would barely call that music at all.

Alter Bridge? You couldn't get less extreme if you tried.

I didn't say which extreme :p

Oh wait, I forgot the Great Kat. Classical music done as thrash metal? Hell yes.

"You Don't Know Me" by Ray Charles is extremely slow.

Saliva especially the song "I Walk Alone"
Alter Bridge
Mercy Drive
Three Days Grace

Anthing by these bands is a good choice.

Those are extremely unextreme.

Those are extremely unextreme.

Yay you win. I congratulate you on winning the which extreme are they competition which I thought of. Have a cookie taco.

Hardcore Extreme

EDIT>> Damn! Isidoor pretty much named all the artists I was going to. Go with his/her choices. And if you want extreme, then Massona is your best bet, though other artists like Sonic Subjunkies, Killout Trash, Shizuo, E-De-Cologne (especially his album Synthetic Overdose, a gabba masterpiece) are a great listen. Or you could always throw on some ATR. :p

Reich. or Ikeda, I wouldn’t call extreme IMHO, but I can see why someone could find their music taxing. If anyone’s into Brian Eno or Aphex Twin, then you have got to check out Reich’s work, especially Music For 18 Musicians and Different Trains/Electric Counterpoint. For some uber-ambient, immensely important experimental music, go and find Alvin Lucier’s I Am Sitting In A Room. It has to be heard.

Amazing Grace on bagpipes. Extremely evil.

Now that's what i'm talking about.

Napalm Death - "The code is red...." and "Order of the leech". And the oul dog for the hard road - Slayer - "Reign in Blood".

I have those albums, but I don't think they're really extreme as far as metal goes.

Marduk.

Black metal makes me laugh. For the most part.


extremly retor, extremely noisy

Yay! :D



And power metal is extremely irritating, yes. But no need to recommend any more.

This is.. umm. This is why we do not get to be proud to be German. No, seriously, this is a motherfuckin' cool boygroup with immigrant background and, umm, immigrant German singing a devastated lovesong. It definately is a candidate for worst song ever, but for some unidentifiable reason someone made the mistake of putting them on some TV show or the other (probably as a cruel joke), and suddenly the whole nation was - well, first covering their ears in horror, then laughing, and then, nuts as we are, buying the single in masses and inviting them to every and any show to perform there.

You have been warned.

P.S. I've seen them being called the "Pfälzische Arctic Monkeys". Don't ask me.

P.P.S. This country really is going to the dogs. Proof?

That's hilarious. I'm mesmerised by this video. It's just so...bad.

I wish we had artists that bad. Instead we get ones that pretend they can actually play music and people believe them. These German guys do nothing of the sort.

If you want extremely long songs, then go for Dragonforce. I've yet to find one of their songs under 5 minutes. Also, they have Herman Li. Who is extremely uber.
Anyway. There's a song called Acoustic Ladyland called "Road of Bones" which was pretty extreme in my opinion because it's such an odd mix.

German? Nope. Bloodlines wise, I'm some deranged cross between Native American and this Celtic/Norse concoction. Nationality wise, I live in the US, and speak only American :)
Please note that I don't believe in 'bloddline wise' nationalities.

And yes, that's what I thought. If you don't know neither German nor the Turkish-German 'subculture', you miss a lot, if not most, of the 'quality' of this.

I dont know if you'd call them "extreme", but, you much of a Misfits fan?

Kinda. I never really got into them but I like what i've heard. I like Danzig, though.

Extremely gay.

*points to location* I get more than enough Kylie here, thanks. :/

If you want extremely long songs, then go for Dragonforce. I've yet to find one of their songs under 5 minutes.

Oh, pfft. The song "Dopesmoker" by Sleep goes for 63 minutes and I have more than a few albums with 20+ minute songs. :p

Go on. Any type of extreme. Extremely noisy, extremely heavy, extremely weird, or even extremely bad, give me your best (or worst) shot. ;)

Lenny Dee and Radium - "Headbanger Boogie"

Like Fat Boy Slim. With balls.

Well, you didn't specify between German as in ancestry or German as in nationality, so I covered both. And the video just reminded me of the days thankfully long past when friends of mine were obsessed with a band called N'sync. Ugh

I like some of Glenn Danzigs solo work, but never heard him with the Misfits (or Samhain for that matter)

Danzig would certainly disagree, but I think its his best stuff.
The musicianship isnt the greatest, bit since its punk (more or less), it doesnt have to be.

Not to take away from any of the other band members, but they indeed got lucky and found "a diamond singer".
Before age and redundancy got the better of him, Glenn Danzig was a bad-ass singer in a punk band.

Samhain......is for serious Danzig fans only.
Its sort of like Misfits 2.0, only not as good.

Danzig sings and plays rythmn guitar, and frankly, hes just not that good.
This is important becuase the music is going in a more "metal" direction than the Misfits did, and the musicianship isnt quite there.

Check out "Static Age", "Walk among Us", and "Earth A.D".

One of, if not THE best American punk bands of the late 70's/ early 80's.

Okay, then. Here's extremely gay + French + cute + informative (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_-XDK2EdGw).

Hahaha. I liked it. :p

Stahlgewitter - ZOG

Extremely racist, extremely poorly sung.

It is extreme enough for the German government to ban it, along with pretty much any neo-nazi band. Hardly seems like an effective measure against neo-nazism if you look at NPDs history.

Circle of Dead Children
Cattle Decapitation
Pig Destroyer
Fuck... I'm dead
Bodies in the Gears of the Apparatus

Those are all grindcore bands, and that's basically the most extreme I know, although usually not my cup of tea, those bands have a few nice songs.

Not unless you listen to death metal, and that's just screaming into the mic.

Nope. There's more than enough metal out there that doesn't involve any screaming whatsoever and is still more extreme than Rammstein in one form or another.

is there a connection between extreme noise and digital hardcore?

and some pieces of ikeda are rather extreme imo, the beginning of dataplex for instance (the only cd i have of him :()

Ignoring the lyrics (which I obviously can't understand) that is a pretty shithouse song. It held promise in the first 30 seconds or so, and then...no.

he's ok, autechre's later stuff is extremer though, do you know any similar artists?

Not that I've heard.

Well, without bothering to get into specifics, your argument is easily defeated. There's metal without vocals, which as a consequence is far less radio friendly than anything Rammstein have done (and therefore more extreme) without fitting your stereotypical notion of metal. ;)

Great minds think alike, and fools seldom differ ;)

I got into electronic music, whether it being extreme or not, through digital hardcore. Used to listen to nothing but punk until I was introduced to Alec Empire and his over-zealous use of Amen My Brother. EC8OR, Atari Teenage Riot and E-De-Cologne was the soundtrack to my later teens.

Certainly Mr. Empire, Mr. Kramer and the rest of the the DHR cohorts opened up my attitude tpwards ‘extreme’ music. I wouldn’t listen to half the stuff I do now without those formative years.

Go on. Any type of extreme. Extremely noisy, extremely heavy, extremely weird, or even extremely bad, give me your best (or worst) shot. ;)

This'll be interesting, at the very least...

Some Japanese musical forms are extremely annoying to the first time listener due.

Gagaku is the traditional court music. It sounds extremely annoying at first due to the scale used and the instrumentation.

Minyo are "folk songs". They are often performed at festivals. The Ondo, or festival songs, feature the shamisen (imagine a really twangy banjo) and the words are usually sung by women in a high pitched, almost screechy falsetto.
This has some samples, but my computer doesn't have speakers, so I have no idea how annoying it might be.... Hopefully it will be extremely so...
http://www.komuso.com/albums/Minyo_of_Tohoku.html

Finally, for Japanese music, J-Pop is often extrmely annoying in the way that only an imitation of western manufactured pop music can be. Look up the groups Morning Musume (morning daughters) or Mini-Moni (a sub-group of the former, deriving from all members being very short). "Mini-Moni Telafon a Rin-Rin-Rin" isn't quite as bad as "My pal, Foot Foot" or "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy", but it's definately in the top ten most annoying pop songs ever.


I'll get back to this in a bit with a few extremely weird reccomendations...

You don't get much more extreme than free jazz and contemporary composition...someone already mentioned Reich, which if you can call minimalism extreme, certainly is, but lets do free jazz first...

There is the first and only really true free jazz, Ornette Coleman's double quintet recording, Free Jazz. 45 minutes of fury, straight, no breather.

Pharaoh Sanders, when I saw him in concert half way through his solo he just yelled into the mic.

Eric Dolphy. Not enough can be said about Eric Dolphy, but I'll say this-when both John Coltrane and Charles Mingus, already in the heights of their career, become in awe of the guy they just hired for their band, that guy is a badass.

Greg Osby, so free he's Banned in New York...probably not, but that's a good album.

Art Ensemble of Chicago.

Sun Ra, 5000 year old man from Venus. Or so he said...

On the contemporary compositions-
Dark Angels recorded by the Kronos Quartet, brutal. Actually, most of what you can find recorded by the Kronos Quartet, gonna be quality.

Harry Partch, made his own instruments as well.

I'm blanking on composers for some reason, so you'll have to take that.

Yeah. Pretty much. Also, Burzum is pretty extreme.

The Locust and Hella are some noise bands. Pretty cool.

I've heard people call the Mars Volta extreme, although I wouldn't classify them as such. Pretty awesome, though.

Oh yeah, and Vader. In my opinion, the BEST Death Metal band ever.

Six Feet Under
Cannibal Corpse
Children of Bodom

Rembrandt Pussyhorse trumps all.

Dissection or Emperor tend to do the trick.

Rembrandt Pussyhorse trumps all.

damn! you have this great habit of pulling sounds out of thin air! LOLOL :)

MORBID ANGEL....their first four albums are absolute death metal masterpieces.

DEATH....especially their later stuff; it's heavy as f*ck, but it's also catchy and enjoyable to listen to.

EMPEROR....their albums "In the Nightside Eclipse" and "Prometheus: the Discipline of Fire and Demise" will satisfy all of your black metal needs...Cradle of Filth is Christiana Aguilerra by comparison.

MESHUGGAH....brutal, fist-pumping, head-banging metal, with the occasional weird experimental interlude. Post-thrash perfected.

CYNIC....totally psychotic tech metal, your mind will BOIL. Very fast, very intense, and strangely, very beautiful at the same time.

ISIS....a hybrid somewhere between sludge metal and post-rock...great stuff.

OK those are the best "extreme" bands I know of. There are plenty of other good ones out there too of course, I just focused on the bands I listen to a lot. Now here are some extreme bands to AVOID, do NOT buy anything by these bands, no matter what your friends tell you.

Napalm Death
Cradle of Filth
Cannibal Corpse
Sepultura

EDIT:

Dissection or Emperor tend to do the trick.

Ooh almost forgot Dissection. Another great band. Too bad about their singer.

ISIS....a hybrid somewhere between sludge metal and post-rock...great stuff.

They still sound like Pink Floyd to me. Go listen to some ISIS and then some Wish You Were Here and you'll see where I'm coming from with this. It ain't entirely out of leftfield.

No mention of mid-period Neurosis from you SE? If you don't know them I think you might just lurve them.

EDIT: Pleasent Valley Children - late 80's/early 90's twisted slow tempo hardcore band with Sned on drums and other leading lights of the contemporary Leeds/Bradford underground. Think of Buzzoven crossed with Unwound with one of the very few living people I consider a genius (Pig Havok) doing vocals for them - "I woke up this morning/looked outside my window/and saw nothing/THE-WORLD-HAD-DIS-AP-PEARED."


EDIT II: What the hell were they called? The Bleeeaaargh! 7" compilations? Were they on Slap-a-ham records? Featuring about a hundred bands per side? The logical and glorious extreme of the Napalm Death 'You Suffer'/Electro Hippies 'Mega Armageddon Death Part III' split 7" that got given away with early copies of Earache's Grindcrusher compilation (toatal playing time for both sides together = approx. 2.5 seconds).

EDIT V: Ah - here we go http://www.discogs.com/release/658252 and http://www.discogs.com/release/451584 Hmmm. Seven Minutes Of Nausea. Drools. The sound of a cassette recorder falling down a staircase somewhere in Australia. Again and again and again and again.


EDIT III & IV: fuck me, two edits for the price of one: Naked City and Wesley Willis

EDIT VI: Fuck it, I'll mention the amazing SST double compilation No Age which revisits the No Wave we touched on earlier with a wider range of musicians and ranges from a few of your usual suspects (Sonic Youth guitarist's solo outings, through The Process Of Weeding Out EP, to Fred Frith IIRC) via mutant slide guitar and fucked up Fairlight/Klavichord madness. Definitely a hit and miss affair, but an interesting and still somewhat challenging journay nonetheless. See also G-Spot Tornado by Zappa for an instance of sequencing gone too far...

EDIT VII: No. you're not going to get my copy of the Stalacpipe Organ (http://www.oddmusic.com/gallery/om25450.html) EP, no matter how much you beg me.

Extremely immature (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEIg3Qzk5fY)

http://www.morgan-fisher.com/discogpages_e/hybrids.html

Ex-Mott The Hoople keyboard player pretends to be 15 different punk/new wave/art bands from Peabody Texas, and knocks up his fevered imaginings on a fourtrack somewhere in the slums of london. The version of Wuthering Heights be 'Jah Wurzel' needs to be heard to be believed. Imagine if Jah Wobble smacked out on the cheapest non-prescription drugs he could steal hadd a sixway with Kate Bush and the entire membership of west-country novelty bumpkins The Wurzels. You ain't come close to how good and twisted that piece of music actually is.

Gnawa Diffusion from France, is only extreme in the sense that they combine a hell of a lot of traditional western musical styles & traditions with Gnawa.

Sore Throat from the UK, was a Noisecore (I think the USians called it Hatecore) band. Even 20 years later, the sound's still rather unique, but the extreme bit is more to do with the attitude & approach to music-making that Sore Throat possessed in spades.

Melt Banana is a Japanese Noisecore band, or perhaps a sort of Post-Noisecore band these days. They're the extreme opposite of Sore Throat & thus deserves a mention.

HardSkin from the UK, is an Oi! band, and only gets a mention because I think they're fucking brilliant.

Die Schröders from Germany, took (and continues to take) Porn-Punk to new extremes. They're hillarious, and sometimes even serious. Never pass up a chance to experience the Burger insanity live.

The Misfits w. Danzig from the US, was extreme both in the way Danzig was the band, and because they were the first, or at least the first to successfully combine proto-punk, acid-rock, old horror-movies & ass-loads of anthem-like melodic elements. Probably also the best there ever was.

Artless from the US (not to be confused with German Die Artless), was extreme. It was (perhaps thankfully) the product of one extreme right-wing anarcho-punker's fucked up brain. No, there's nothing racist about it, and yes, it is strangely compelling. It's also something only an Ayn Rand could love, and then only at gun-point.

Flogging Molly: Extremely badass.

Rock band, and the only rock band I know of that involves banjos, accordions, flutes, mandolins, violins, and god knows what else.

Why do you want Etreme music, do you wanna be a rebel or something, sport.

I’ll second Atari Teenage Riot and raise you KMFDM.

I’ll take that raise, and give you The Boredoms.

I’ll take that raise, and give you The Boredoms.Ooo! I've never heard of them! Cheers :)

The Rite of Spring (by Igor Stravinsky)
I like The Firebird better, but then, I'm a trumpet player, and love the brass in that one.
DragonForce (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonforce) FT epic W.
yes.
GWAR! :eek:
got to it before me :(


my suggestions:
TV On The Radio - I Was A Lover (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPyp92pExAg)
pretty decent song by them for a sample.

Horse The Band - The Cutsman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufKE0Uci4IA)
This isn't their video for it, but I don't feel like looking. All their songs are based off Megaman. This one just rockzorz.

Ooo! I’ve never heard of them! Cheers :)
You’re very welcome.

Ooh, and if you’re into Melt Banana, you might like to check out Oshiri Pen Penz, another Japanese noiscore band. Saw ‘em at Instal (http://www.arika.org.uk/instal/instal_06_music_festival.html); a rockin alternative music festival held here in Glasgow back in October of last year.

In fact, a load of the artists who appeared at Instal, including Maryanne Amacher, Ellen Fullman, Lethe, Tetsuya Umeda and Kylie Minoise, would fit the criteria of folks here looking for ‘extreme’ music. Whatever that means....

Jonathan Coulton's music is both extremely geeky and extremely entertaining. He writes and performs songs from the points of view of such characters as an evil genius in love, a horde of hungry zombies, a man attempting to intimidate his robotic butler, and, most famously, a plain old ordinary guy reflecting soulfully on how he likes big butts and he cannot lie.

"I'm Sad the Goat Just Died Today" is an extremely bad song by the Frogs.

"Umbassa and the Dragon" is an extremely bad song by the Turtles.

"I'm Going To Buy Me a Dog" is, depending on your taste, either an extremely bad or an extremely cute song by the Monkees.

And, of course, the classic "Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" is extremely likely to make anyone who has not seen or heard it before exclaim "What the HELL?!" several dozen times while giggling uncontrollably.

Edit: I almost forgot my personal favorite - "Who's In The House? (Jesus In The House!)" by Father Brian and the Fun-Loving Cardinals, which is extremely, extremely, extremely funny. :)

Oh, and The Moldy Peaches.

Here is streaming audio of their song Steak For Chicken (http://handyvaseline.imeem.com/music/FrvLtg_e/steak_for_chicken/)

You don't get much more extreme than free jazz and contemporary composition...someone already mentioned Reich, which if you can call minimalism extreme, certainly is, but lets do free jazz first...

I do need to check out more jazz...so I will have a look see.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor. (http://www.last.fm/music/Godspeed+You%21+Black+Emperor)

Already a fan of these guys.

Extremely bad....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgX-hiQdfFw

Dude...no. :p

Extremley Patinkinish. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYTY1NERLqM)

That was pretty strange.


Extremely poor? Fall Out Boy.

I hear that.

...Diamanda Galas.


Yeah, already like. :)

GWAR! :eek:

LOL. Seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWRKlNlRsgI

Mayhem, Bathory, darkthrone, emperor, graveworm: extremely black

noooooooooo...

As I said before, most black metal makes me laugh. Emperor are cool though.

Yeah. Pretty much. Also, Burzum is pretty extreme.

In his views and lyrics, maybe, but not so much the actual music.

Highway to the Danger Zone

Extremely... Top gun.

lol. Yes, it is.

Converge

Cool band. I got Jane Doe the other day.

bolt thrower are pretty extreme but still 'music'.

I find they're a bit "meh"

Extremely weird and unrelated name for a (from what little I heard) decent band - Butthole Surfers.

Already a big fan. :)


DEATH....especially their later stuff; it's heavy as f*ck, but it's also catchy and enjoyable to listen to.

I do need to check these guys out.

EMPEROR....their albums "In the Nightside Eclipse" and "Prometheus: the Discipline of Fire and Demise" will satisfy all of your black metal needs...Cradle of Filth is Christiana Aguilerra by comparison.

Yeah, they're good.

ISIS....a hybrid somewhere between sludge metal and post-rock...great stuff.

Big fan already.

Now here are some extreme bands to AVOID, do NOT buy anything by these bands, no matter what your friends tell you.

Napalm Death
Cradle of Filth
Cannibal Corpse
Sepultura

Napalm Death and Sepultura aren't that bad...


No mention of mid-period Neurosis from you SE? If you don't know them I think you might just lurve them.

Awesome band.

EDIT V: Ah - here we go http://www.discogs.com/release/658252 and http://www.discogs.com/release/451584 Hmmm. Seven Minutes Of Nausea. Drools. The sound of a cassette recorder falling down a staircase somewhere in Australia. Again and again and again and again.

LOL.

Extremely immature (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEIg3Qzk5fY)

You're right.


Melt Banana is a Japanese Noisecore band, or perhaps a sort of Post-Noisecore band these days. They're the extreme opposite of Sore Throat & thus deserves a mention.

They're interesting, but not really my cup of tea.

(i'll check out the others)


And, of course, the classic "Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" is extremely likely to make anyone who has not seen or heard it before exclaim "What the HELL?!" several dozen times while giggling uncontrollably.

It was. :P

Why do you want Etreme music, do you wanna be a rebel or something, sport.

Nope, I want to be amused. Good enough for you?

I myself enjoy...

In Flames
Arch Enemy
Iced Earth
Fear Factory
Machine Head
Blind Guardian

...though the "extreme"-ness of these bands is entirely dependent upon the listener. ;)

Kanabia, I know you like Stonerrock, so I'm gonna give you a few good ones:)

Dozer, swedish stonerband, very very heavy and slow.
Iron Boss, Yanks, I think, more like bikerrock, still great stuff.
Kamasutra, Only released an EP I think, a bit like Rollerball, great stuff.
Spiritual Beggars, biker/stoner from sweden too.

I can name alot more, but I'm sure you've heard of some of it already:)

Uhh, nope. Been out of the stonercirkus for a while now, but I dip in now and then:) I got some great sources at direct connect...

Flogging Molly: Extremely badass.

Rock band, and the only rock band I know of that involves banjos, accordions, flutes, mandolins, violins, and god knows what else.They are but one of many, and to be honest, most I've heard do a better job of it. But I dislike the polished, elevator muzak feel in general, so nevermind that. If you can get past the fundy-Abrahamite aspect, Ballydowse just might blow your mind, music-wise. If you like FM for the outlaw image, check out Shane Magowan & The Pogues. If you wanna keep the poppy sound, but the MTV hit producer stuck up your bum's bugging you, try Levellers. And those are just three extremes, off the top of my head. Oh and.. FM is very much a rip-off of Dropkick Murphys.You’re very welcome.

Ooh, and if you’re into Melt Banana, you might like to check out Oshiri Pen Penz, another Japanese noiscore band. Saw ‘em at Instal (http://www.arika.org.uk/instal/instal_06_music_festival.html); a rockin alternative music festival held here in Glasgow back in October of last year.

In fact, a load of the artists who appeared at Instal, including Maryanne Amacher, Ellen Fullman, Lethe, Tetsuya Umeda and Kylie Minoise, would fit the criteria of folks here looking for ‘extreme’ music. Whatever that means....Damnit! My life's too short for all this music! I already have more than 1500 albums, and my shopping list's almost as massive :p

To be honest though, Melt Banana isn't my cup of tea. I have the two latest full albums, but only because it was a package deal & something I was assured I'd like. I guess that's why humanity invented Torrents.. Uhm, anyway.. The appeal of Noisecore to me, is the disorganised, improvisation aspect. Doesn't work most of the time, but when it does, it really does. That's why I mentioned them in the first place, because without knowing anything significant about noisecore, it seems to me there's two kinds; The ones who work because they just happen to click together, and the ones who're damn good, damn professional & makes everything sound like it's an overly complicated, boring job. To my ears, MB sounds like the latter.

Oddly enough, I like a lot of math-metal & math'esque bands, but my real passions are (shockingly, I'm sure) Oi! & Ska/Reggae. Things like HardSkin (http://www.damagedgoods.co.uk/sounds/14_Audio_Track.mov) & 8°6 Crew (http://www.radioblogclub.com/open/114267/8_6_crew/%5Bska%5D8-6_Crew-Prohibition)
Thanks again though, I'm gonna pirate the fuck outta as many of those bands as I can & see what's what :cool:

But back on topic:

Mike Patton. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dpscox6BcQY&mode=related&search=) Not because he's famous for playing with feces & waving his cock at people, but because the guy can sing pretty much anything, and continually does. From mock-carnival shit, to bluegrass, to glamrock, to fusion, to rap, to noisecore, to pop ballads & much, much more.. It's not all good, but it is pretty fucking impressive.

The Movement. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZTgfcj0dGo) When was the last time anyone saw a real fucking Mod band?! That has to be some kind of extreme.

Black metal makes me laugh. For the most part.


Well, to be honest, black metal makes me laugh as well if I have to watch it. Listening is okay, but actually watching the videos... Not so okay! :)

Jarboe's song "Killer".
Early Swans, especially the Cop or Filth albums.
Diamanda Galas.
Foetus.

...more to come.

Agreed with all these...

Christian Death (especially "this is Heresy" - quite surprised to find a live version on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWuutWMHe64),

Pig ("Painiac", again impressed by YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leeT_ZwkHZ8)

Schwein ("You're My Disease": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Amgz7pUkazM)

Einsturzende Neubauten ("Die Interimsliebenden" is fairly accessible: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nufIYi_WYF0)

Skinny Puppy (one of my personal favourites :Candle": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu9htBbxA_Q)

ohGr (very different from the original Puppy material - something like "Cracker": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQu8A_Wjbbc... the video just rocks)

Tom Waits (obviously... I like "Chocolate Jesus": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wfamPW3Eaw... lucky enough to find this on YouTube too.)

The Damage Manual (I managed to find "Laugh Track" on YouTube...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnlaBBgEY_4)

Pigface (couldn't find much... "Little Sisters" isn't really representative: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxMh8lA_vts)

The Revolting Cocks (Their campy cover of "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6cHeNvzE30)

The Butthole Surfers ("Who Was In My Room Last Night?": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFoMxJPo4is)

I see the Surfers have been mentioned already, so I'll add their Jackofficers incarnation... couldn't find any video for it though :(

Ministry (circa the "Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste" and "Land of Rape and Honey" era... found video for "The Land of Rape and Honey" - one of the best incarnations of Ministry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bvgy08jPf4)

Seo Taiji (especially "Ultramania" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BykZNO5GCfA)

Malice Mizer (something like "Beast of Blood" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4GMimLrREo)

Yes, I spent far too much time on this...

Now here are some extreme bands to AVOID, do NOT buy anything by these bands, no matter what your friends tell you.

Napalm DeathWhy wouldn't he buy something from the best band that you named?

Fuck it, I'll mention the amazing SST double compilation No Age which revisits the No Wave we touched on earlier Oh, that reminds me, there's

Teenage Jesus and the Jerks
and
Lydia Lunch, extreme spoken word.

Flogging Molly: Extremely badass.

Rock band, and the only rock band I know of that involves banjos, accordions, flutes, mandolins, violins, and god knows what else.Korpiklaani has all of that, though they're metal as opposed to rock.

The Movement. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZTgfcj0dGo) When was the last time anyone saw a real fucking Mod band?! That has to be some kind of extreme.

That's a lot of fun.

- - - - -

Oh, and more extreme bands in a pseudo similar vein (although they aren't Mod) would be Choking Victim, Leftover Crack, and the Crack-Rock Steady Seven. Ska/Hardcore from New York. I recommend "Death Song".

Sore Throat from the UK, was a Noisecore (I think the USians called it Hatecore) band. Even 20 years later, the sound's still rather unique, but the extreme bit is more to do with the attitude & approach to music-making that Sore Throat possessed in spades.

HardSkin from the UK, is an Oi! band, and only gets a mention because I think they're fucking brilliant.

Artless from the US (not to be confused with German Die Artless), was extreme. It was (perhaps thankfully) the product of one extreme right-wing anarcho-punker's fucked up brain. No, there's nothing racist about it, and yes, it is strangely compelling. It's also something only an Ayn Rand could love, and then only at gun-point.

I use and endorse all the above products or services.

As far as the noisecore/hatecore thing goes, no - 'hatecore' was initially termed by the band SFA to describe their slightly metallic divergence from hardcore, and then was used to label bands lile Born Against, Rorschach, Yuppicide,Citizen's Arrest and similar bands of mainly New York heritage in the early 90's.

Some of the members of Pleasent Valley Children, whom I mentioned earlier, were also in Sore Throat.

On the subject of Hardskin I guess mention should be made of the at times extremely silly punk band Wat Tyler.

It doesn't get any more extreme than this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQfh5st6Pls

Honestly - that drives me insane.:sniper::mp5::gundge:

On the subject of bands with flutes, accordians, banjos and suchlike...

Korpiklaani has all of that, though they're metal as opposed to rock.

...or for that matter historical leftist fundamentalists The Men They Couldn't Hang, Ireland's gutter-punk/folk collision Blood & Whiskey, Australia's somewhat hippy punks Mutiny, and (not that I recommend them in the slightest) The Levellers.

Oh, and more extreme bands in a pseudo similar vein (although they aren't Mod) would be Choking Victim, Leftover Crack, and the Crack-Rock Steady Seven. Ska/Hardcore from New York. I recommend "Death Song".
Now that's some good music.

*pines for broken hard drive, with CV and LoC on*

Hmmm...the most extreme I can come up with is the band Genghis Tron. Extremely weird combination of styles: grindcore, thrash, electronica and synthpop, sometimes all combined in one song. My favourite band at the moment.

A couple of live videos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oa5wTuU31X4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjzM8YL4NAs

(the second song is better IMHO, but you might get bored by the 2 mins instrumental bit at the beginning!)

For extreme attitude, I suggest Insurge. They make Skunk Anansie, and System of a Down look, like pussies who are whining that someone stole their ice cream.
Those 2 bands are good, but for extreme attitude, go for Insurge.
Dead Kennedys are good for weird.

Extremely noisy: Napalm Death (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napalm_Death)
Extremely creative: Liquid Tension Experiment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_Tension_Experiment)
Extremely bad: anything by Craig David (or some other MTV by-product) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turd)

Why wouldn't he buy something from the best band that you named?

Maybe I haven't really given them a chance, but after I listened to "Scum" I was so appalled I vowed never to listen to anything by them again.

I use and endorse all the above products or services.Beers are better than giiiirls are...

I'm not entirely sure I endorse Artless, but it's a fucking riot. And arguably, a lot of our cult could benefit from a listen... Hmmm.. Did I just endorse it? Somebody fucking stop me!As far as the noisecore/hatecore thing goes, no - 'hatecore' was initially termed by the band SFAShockingly, there's a slight chance I won't have forgotten that before I've posted this. So thanks.
Still, US Punk/Noise subgenre bollox is a worse nightmare than Turkish DJs. Trust me, I [don't] know what I'm talking about.Some of the members of Pleasent Valley Children, whom I mentioned earlier, were also in Sore Throat.When I'm done posting this, I'm gonna browse through the whole thread & read you & Sensible's shit. I have a feeling that between the three of us, there just might be a decent taste in music.On the subject of Hardskin I guess mention should be made of the at times extremely silly punk band Wat Tyler.Haha, yea. Do they still exist? I've heard fuck-all about them since they did the Sex (less?) thing. Reminded me of Velvet Underpants or the Macc Lads though. Wish I had that single.

Oh, and more extreme bands in a pseudo similar vein (although they aren't Mod) would be Choking Victim, Leftover Crack, and the Crack-Rock Steady Seven. Ska/Hardcore from New York. I recommend "Death Song".All great bands, but nothing like The Movement. It's just Youtube's limitations that gave you the wrong impression. They're Mods & Pop music with a wee bit of a nod to trad Oi! & Rudeboy Reggae. They're also nowhere near as political, even if they do promote their Marxist shit every so often. It's more about the music than the message.

But keeping the "bands starting with a C" thing going, you might want to check out Capdown, if you don't already know them. London Skacore with the occational Dub tune & not at all bad.

The Fleeting.. Buying into anti-establisment attitudes promoted by the establishment, is indeed extreme. Extremely catatonic. Fuck Insurge, Skunk Anansie & all their ilk. If it's got to be Insurge-something, check out Insurgentes. Anarcho-Syndicalists, DIY and kicks all kinds of ass. Couldn't find a link, so Nacidos Del Odio (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkM7r3isb-Y) (Born of Hate) which they also cover, will have to do. Please note that clicking might make you uncomfortable, prove you wrong or otherwise inconvenience you.

Also, 'attitude' has nothing to do with heavy riffs. You won't find many bands in any time or place with more attitude & bigger balls, than Ska-P (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vweoY1WWTAs)

Get Google to translate for you, if you can't understand.

Extremely progressive:

National Health

Magma

But keeping the "bands starting with a C" thing going, you might want to check out Capdown, if you don't already know them. London Skacore with the occational Dub tune & not at all bad.
Have you heard their new single? If the new album (out next month :)) is anything like it, then I'll be happy.

Did they split up? I only got into them about a year ago. They're pretty cool. Haven't bothered to try to find any translations, though. They're anarchist, aren't they?

It doesn't get any more extreme than this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQfh5st6Pls

Honestly - that drives me insane.:sniper::mp5::gundge:
I have a sudden urge to nuke Bodensee and all the Fischerin contained within and all their musical implements.

I approve.

But keeping the "bands starting with a C" thing going, you might want to check out ...

Crudos. Los Crudos. No more need be said.

Moonspell's "Wolfheart",among others can be considered "extreme".

I like it.

Have you heard their new single? If the new album (out next month :)) is anything like it, then I'll be happy.New single? Niice! I just hope ordering it won't block any tubes :p
I got dragged to a show a couple of years ago by some locals, and fuck it was great. Bitches & Nikeshoes have been my label for MTV Hiphop ever since, hehe.Did they split up? I only got into them about a year ago. They're pretty cool. Haven't bothered to try to find any translations, though. They're anarchist, aren't they?Thankfully they're still together & yes, they're syndicalists. Lyrically they're content-wise similar to a Jello Biafra gone Class War, but imagery-wise more akin to Conflict. Obviously it's generally some extremely brutal shit, and that's part of what makes them great, at least to me.

There's something utterly fantastic about jumping around in pure fucking bliss, with a big stupid smile on your face, to some of the least serious dance music in the world, while singing some of the most serious class war lyrics this side of anywhere. It's very life affirming somehow. That's what I meant with balls & attitude. Defiance isn't a strong enough word.

How about something extremely long? Longplayer (http://longplayer.org/) seems to be a piece of music designed to take 1,000 years to play.

Extremely... Special: The "Right" Brothers (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=61264927)

Lol, found out about them on the (now nonexistent) Dream Theater forums....I wonder if they realize how silly they are coming across. The only thing more ridiculous than the music to "Bush was Right" is the lyrics.

probably more listenable than Green Day or the Dixie Chicks, huh?

Not particularly, in my opinion, but I don't listen to any of the three, so I'm not fit to make the judgement. I occasionally listen to them just to yank the chains of more liberal friends of mine, but they are, at best, tollerable.

Maybe I haven't really given them a chance, but after I listened to "Scum" I was so appalled I vowed never to listen to anything by them again.What's so appalling about it?

What's so appalling about it?

It's unlistenable. As I recall, the guitars sounded faint on several songs, the vocals consisted of incomprehensible grunts, and the occasional catchy riff was buried beneath a cluttered mess of apparent randomness. Maybe if I gave it another listen I would have a less harsh opinion of it, but I'm afraid I sold my copy of it a long time ago.

Yes, that was the whole point.

See?

It is extreme!

I'll give you the guitars, they didn't use a facility with great recording quality, but the grunts are no more incomprehensible than an Emperor song.

I'll grant you that part about Emperor's vocals being incomprehensible. However, I feel like Emperor's vocals are intense and add to the song, wheras Napalm Death's vocals are simply distracting.

Yes, that was the whole point.

One man's trash is another man's treasure, I guess.

I'm sure there's a few others.
