While the Black Metal scene has been very notorious for its history and rawness, the extreme offspring of modern doom metal has not been far away from such a cult ranking. On one side of the fence - we had bands with corpse paint who with their dark and raw sound sang about Satanism, Anti-Christianity and grimness. Other stories tell us that they also burned churches, committed suicide (Dead) and killed their band mates (Varg VS Euronymous). However, on the other side of the fence we also have the new wave of super ultra extreme doom bands that were never taught the word "compromise" in school. While their sound is as slow, dark, hateful and raw as possible - these guys spit out their disgust towards mankind, their cold and sorrowful emotions and sometimes their almost nihilistic ideas. Different sources tell us that most of these bands never play on stage, many of them remain unsigned to any label, a handful of them disband after only releasing their first couple of EP´s and some of them also like the idea of killing themselves (fucked up Mad Max).
