Best Extreme Metal Songs of All Time
Nord666 Death Metal, Black Metal, Thrash Metal and Grindcore (in a way). No Melodic stuffs, no traditional Heavy Metal etc.The Top Ten
1 Raining Blood - Slayer
Wow, how can I deny Slayer's awesomeness. All hail Lombardo, the godfather of drums, he got magic hands, no doubt. - Nord666
Great song I'm surprised no freezing moon by mayhem. oh well.
Meshuggah, Slipknot, Lamb of God, Bathory (newer)? Really? This started the entire wave of it all!

2 Angel of Death - Slayer
Honestly sounds just like raining blood
This Song Just Blows My Mind
I like when the drums come in after the guitar breakdown. Sounds like a machine gun.
The most brutal and heavy song of ALL TIME
3 Lack of Comprehension - Death
As a representative to this vote, I want you all to know that Death pioneered the Death metal genre during mid to late 80's thinking Death's place in number 3 maybe also good but Death at least deserves to be here (not to be overwhelmed by incoming bands in this list) Lack of Comprehension is one of their heaviest songs (or maybe of Extreme metal genre). RIP Chuck Shuldiner. Death influenced many Death metal bands.
Technical old school death metal with jazz influences, just beautiful...and brutal.
4 A Fine Day to Die - Bathory
5 Quintessence - Darkthrone
This is just the perfect Black Metal song. Personally, I prefer Lamb of God (which is not in this list) but this song is absolutely epic
It was hard to choose, but I think Darkthrone deserve the crown! - Nord666
The riff...by Odin almighty...the riff!
Ehh, I like Darkthrone and all, but I don't particularly care for this track. - ryanrimmel
6 Welcome to Hell - Venom
It isn't extreme metal - somekindofaguy
7 Dead by Dawn - Deicide
8 All Shall Fall - Immortal
A perfect song for this list. - Nord666
9 Lost Wisdom - Burzum
His voice! Oh, that was the craziest voice I've ever heard!
The guitar was INSANE! - Nord666
10 Curb - Nickelback
There are so many things wrong with this. I can't stop laughing. - ryanrimmel
When I first heard this album my mind was blown by the music. The vocals were filled with emotion but at the same time, low, dark, and with an eerie feel. Kind of like the sound a horse makes. The guitar work is very basic and someone playing for a week can play the songs, but that is the genius behind it. It creates a very chaotic atmosphere when there is no musicianship. The drums were as generic as could be, but there was reason behind it. The generic drums that might as well have just been a drum machine, made a satanic atmosphere that made the music delve into an entirely new level a heaviness I have never heard before.
Nickelback is a super satanic Black Metal band! They are better and more underground than those posers Mayhem and Gorgoroth! *sarcasm* - SirSkeletorThe3rd
All hail underground black/death metal. Clear Death and Bathory influences.

14 Whiplash - Metallica
Kurt Cobain's favorite song.
15 One Rode to Asa Bay - Bathory
I'm not sure if this song fits the criteria of this list but I strongly believe this is one of the BEST Black Metal song I've ever heard.
Quorthon was epic with his guitars..R.I.P.
16 Freezing Moon - Mayhem

Although unconventional, this song kills it.

Amazing composition, the vocalist ate the dictionary I think, laugh out loud. - Nord666

Well, guys, this is Cannibal Corpse at their best! Chris Barnes kills it and Paul played high profile.
