I was wondering what is the most Xtreme/insane thing you think you have ever heard...
It went kind of gradually for me and there have been a couple records I thought were *absolute*. Nothing could be more Xtreme at the time.Metallica - Kill'em All (1983)
Venom - Possessed (1985)
Slayer - Hell Awaits (1985)
Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion (1986)
Hirax - Raging Violence (1986)
Voïvod - RRRÖÖÖAAARRR (1986)
Slayer - Reign in Blood (1986)
Voïvod - Dimension Hatröss (1988)
Nocturnus - The Key (1990)
Napalm Death - in concert (1992)
Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse (1994) Emperor is the last thing I remember being a real *punch in the face*. I guess I'm missing something there as well. No? [ June 26, 2002: Message edited by: The Outcast ]

Venom - At War With Satan
Metallica - Ride The Lightning
Voivod - War And Pain
Slayer - Hell Awaits
D.R.I. - Dirty Rotten E.P.
Carnivore - both albums
Ministry - Land Of Rape And Honeyall totally floored me when I first heard 'em. Then several years later it was Praxis - Sacrifist
Carcass - Heartwork
Sepultura - Arise
Kittens - (local band, kinda like a really extreme Melvins) then since about 2 years ago Emperor - IX Equilibrium
Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
Faxedhead - Exhumed At Birth
Fantomas - 1st album
Nile - Black Seeds Of Vengeance if you haven't heard Faxedhead go to their official site http://www.faxedhead.com/
go read the bio FIRST, then go download some songs. This shit is fucked up.

Oh yeah, I already see a lot of the same bands that made the same impact on me!Like Warcorpse, the first couple of albums that punched me in the face were Metallica's "Ride The Lightning" and Sleyer's "Hell Awaits". Before that, Iron Maiden was as heavy as it gor for me (keep in mind that this was in 1984-85). Then came:
Possessed: Seven Churches + Live show (I saw these guys open for Slayer in '85 and remember thinking they were pretty nuts. Then I got Seven Churches and FUCK, that was some seriously deathly vocals!
Celtic Frost: Morbid Tales (whoa! SLOW and heavy! TGW's guitar tones were soooo cool too!)
Voivod: RRROOOAAARRR (I thought this album was, and still is, pretty extreme! So raw and dirty... nothing else quite like it! This record actually sounds like the cover looks!)
Kreator: Pleasure To Kill (My indroduction to extremely fast, faster than Slayer, metal! I've actually been listening to a LOT of Kreator once again lately!)
Melvins: Gluey Porch Treatments (the heaviest album of 1986! These guys played locally all the time in my youth! Not suprising I guess, since they were local.) Not much has really shocked me since those days... but a few bands/albums stand out. O.L.D. - James Plotkin & co. tear shit up with some pretty extreme noise metal here! "Lo Flux Tube" and "The Musical Dimensions of Sleastak" will peel the paint off your walls! JP's new bands Atomsmasher and Khanate are also rather brutal!
Naked City (nice one Emlyn!) John Zorn's usually pushing something pretty weird! Also good is his project with former Napalm Death drummer Mick Harris and Bill Laswell called Painkiller! Very extreme!
Nile - Most extreme metal doesn't excite me like it used to, but I found Nile to be rather interesting on a number of levels! Great band and I hope to see 'em here next month! The most extreme cd I own: Yasuano Tone's "Solo For Wounded CD" The most sonically abusive recording I've ever heard! Two long tracks of noise so extreme it will make your eardrums spasm (I am not kidding)! Yet, like Emlyn said, there's a fine line between extremity and pure nonsense, this one is probably on the nonsense side of things, but I keep it in the collection so I can torment my metalhead friends who think they're real hardcore! BTW, I've owned this discs since 1996 and have never made it completely through one of the tracks! 
Cool topic Outcast!

i think you guys are a few years older than me, because my first introduction to extreme metal came in, i think, 8th grade in the form of reign in blood
i couldn't believe the non-stop evil and how fast everything was
it was absolutely shocking i tell you!the only other time i thought a tape was too extreme for my tastes (for a week or two) was when i bought martha splatterhead's maddest stories ever told (the accused) blaine's vocals shred all!!! (blaine and alex are in the reformed Fartz, i hear)

Mayor, the people on this forum are way older than you and me.  Reign in Blood(Angel of Death was like legendary at my high school)
Kill'em All
Leprosy by Death Recently I'd have to say anything by Fantomas
Oh, and Outcast, you asked a while back what Hypercube was doing? He's getting married this summer and is also busy with law school so he has little time for forum talk.

There's no way to make this a "complete" list... but here's a few things that i remember gave me actual goosebumps upon first listen, for its intensity...Extreme doesnt mean anything anymore, anyway, so i'll go with intensity... off the top of my head...1) The Accused - Martha SPlatterhead's Maddest Stories Ever Told
(Y'know.. even the most "br00tal" of death metal vocalist cant even come close to Blaine's murderous raging vokills. I was never the same again)
2) Sepultura - Beneath the Remains. (speed.)
3) Deicide - Deicide. (oh yah.)
4) Carcass - First two albums.
(Jesus! Symphonies of Sickness...?/%?$/%$/?%$/?%$%"%/"!%?/*%?|#1111#1#1#1 AAaaaaaaarghhhh!!!!!!!!)
5) Righteous Pigs - "Overdose" (cant remember the name of the album, perhaps 'Stress Related', but that tune made me wanna break everything in sight)
6) Exorcist - Nightmare Theatre
(Evil beyond fuckin' belief.. still is, too)
7) look, i could go on and on... there's also Pleasure to Kill, Infernal Overkill, the first B.A.R.F. demo, the first time i heard Pestilence "Consuming Impulse", etc...
Now if you wanna talk about "what i still think is intense today", which means i still bring those records out when i feel like beating people up but i really dont want too cuz that's too much hassle, well here they are...
1) Voivod - RRRoooaaarrr
2) Voivod - RRRoooaaarrr
3) Voivod - RRRoooaaarrr ...you get the picture. [ June 26, 2002: Message edited by: Skulhed ] [ June 26, 2002: Message edited by: Skulhed ]

Nope. Even though my list was rather metal-oriented cos' it's 75% of my music collection but it could be whatever you thought really on the "thin line between extremity and pure nonsense", be it metal or not. quote:

I finally heard this band for the first time on the weekend. I kind of like the German intros, even though I have no idea what the singer is saying! Like the 'Spieluhr' track off 'Mutter'. Apparently, KMFDM re-mixed some of their stuff. They seem a little image concious, in an Einsturzende Neubauten kind of way, but I dig anyone who will light themselves on fire for my entertainment, lol.

Much extremes in speed and noise, but I also like to mention some other extremes.Extremes in HEAVINESS:
-Saint Vitus: Born Too Late
Never before Doom Metal sounded so ugly, stripped-down, cold and lacking in any form of vitality.
-Amebix: No Sanctuary & Arise
Doomy Punk straight from the gutter. Not for the faint-hearted.
-Swans: Cop/Young God
Proto-Industrial Noise. Monotonous thundering at unbearable slow pace.
-Godflesh: Streetcleaner
Inspired by The Swans they got one step further. If this was music for the future, Apocalypse would be VERY near.
-Winter: Into Darkness
The perfect soundtrack for a dying world. If they played slower, they would stand still.
-Cathedral: Forest of Equilibrium
Once described as the most suicidal album ever. I'm not sure, but it comes close I think.
-Esoteric: all albums
Guaranteed to clear the room at all your parties. Very long songs with nothing really happening, only despair. Now, where's my prozac? Oh, yeah, just one:
-Metallica: Reload
EXTREMELY BORING!!!

Motörhead - Iron Fist - my introduction to heavy music, what an album!Slayer - Hell Awaits & Reign In Blood - They were released here at almost the same time, by different record companies. They both blew me away for their intensity! Never could tell which one of them was the best... Voïvod - Killing Technology - Voïvod never appealed to me for their brutality, but this one is a gem. Somehow it started my interest for European HC bands. Ministry - (Psalm 69) - The Mind... is a revelation, of course, but this one (with the undeciphrable name) still blasts my stereo from time to time, as it is timeless. Morbid Angel - Covenant - Pete Sandoval really shines on this. The first to appeal to me, still one of my fav death metal albums. Deicide - Once Upon The Cross - Deicide at their best. Serpents still shined, nowadays they're rolling down the hill. Terrorizer - World Downfall - This one always make me breathless. Grind! Napalm Death - Diatribes - I knew and had previous Napalm releases, such as Utopia, Enslavement or Harmony, but THIS is the Napalm Death album that appealed to me the most, even being so "modern" sounding. Laibach - Opus Dei - People that claim they're nazi, as I've already seen around (not here, fortunately) are being unjust. Their extremity is in the mood of the songs. "Life is life" is one of my favourite songs of all time, with those chilling vocals! Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia - Just for Nick's drumming. Not that the rest of the pack isn't excellent, but his performance blew me away. Disrupt - Deprived - Crust rules!!! And so does the insane Disrupt. Nile - Black Seeds Of Vengeance - Can anything or anyone be more brutal? Hate Eternal - Conquering the Throne - Maybe yes... Lock Up - Hate Breeds Suffering - The latest in a row. Phew!
