nice pick on the Napalm Death. so many people dismiss their death metal material. i think it's outstanding.

basically every opeth song. no death metal band comes close to touching them in my eyes

I semi-second that. I don't as a whole count Opeth as death metal, sure it is a big part of it, but I think they transend that genre just like Borknagar transends the black genre.

yeah they sure do transcend the traditional view of death metal just like Cynic did as well. i suppose it is all extreme metal
