On the subject of bleakness, this week for Extreme Thursday we're going to look at quite a range of different styles and genres of extreme metal that all pull in some sort of blackened influence. From the folk-ish overtones of Grimtotem to the grim tones of Sanctus Nosferatu and the melodic growls of Dreaming Dead, a certain hidden blackness is evident in each band's sound while never being out-and-out black metal. A little bleakness for every occasion.
