Funk Metal Albums

After a fifteen-year studio gap, Six makes it clear that EXTREME has always been far more than a one-hit story.

Saudades de Rock puts Nuno Bettencourt’s sharp guitar and Gary Cherone’s expressive voice back at the heart of Extreme.

Renegades turns Rage Against the Machine’s influences into material that still sounds like Rage.

The Battle of Los Angeles unites bouncing bass, hard drums, unorthodox guitar sounds and sharply delivered words in Rage Against the Machine’s tense political rock.

Evil Empire binds funk-rooted rhythm, rap’s sharp cadence and Tom Morello’s strange guitar vocabulary even more tightly.

Extreme’s debut joins sharp guitar riffs, funk-leaning bounce, and energetic choruses into a vivid first statement.
