The term "extreme gothic metal" refers to bands who perform gothic metal that regularly make extensive use of black metal or death metal elements in their music.
It is also occasionally used as a derogatory term for symphonic black metal and symphonic death metal bands by death metal/black metal's fanbases, denoting the bands as ''untrue'' to the original genres intentions.
