Germany's Necrophagist is probably the most extreme metal band on this list. The tempos are blistering, the torrent of sound relentless, and the lyrics revolting. Fortunately, there's no way to discern what the lyrics are without research. Also fortunately, guitarist (and vocalist) Muhammed Suiçmez is an incredible player who, oddly enough plays clean-tone solo lines along the lines of good ol' Yngwie Malmsteen. Somehow, his fluid, arpeggiated soloing doesn't sound out of place in the music, which is otherwise textbook technical death metal.
On "Fermented Offal Discharge" (*cough*), as with the rest of the first Necrophagist album, Suiçmez handles vocal duties, as well as playing all guitar and bass parts... well. The form is too complicated for me to outline for you without spending a couple hours trying to analyze it. It's a terrific metal composition though, not to mention performance, and bears repeated listening. At least give it a once-through and pay particular attention to the guitar solo, beginning at 3:01 (like you can help it). It's jaw-dropping.
