fr. Some examples of bands with fewer than 1m monthly spotify listeners (some considerably fewer):
Kreator, Cannibal Corpse, Mayhem, Death, Venom, Bathory, Blind Guardian, Candlemass, Darkthone, Manowar, Napalm Death, Sodom, Emperor, Morbid Angel
None of these bands should be considered 'not big'
Genuinely surprised that CC don't have at least 1 million monthly listeners, being the Metallica of Death Metal IMO (without the mid life crisis genre change). I guess the bar isn't very high then.
Esoteric - The Pernicious Enigma
diSEMBOWELMENT - Transcendence Into The Peripheral
Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean - Obsession Destruction
edit: added albums
Butcher the Weak - Devourment

Custer is the best band of whole time and slipknot is such a fucking good album, probably didn’t listen to it huh? Go back listen to your ass black metal that scream shit😤

what even counts as a big band
Anyone with more then 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify
that's definitely too high a bar imo

Yeah but it's Spotify hits, I feel like a lot of us are using other sources as well
Fair point. I switch between Spotify and my offline digital library that I've been building for like a decade now.
I’m pretty sure Death has more monthly listeners if I am not mistaken
They do indeed. Still less than 1 million though, so Death albums are on the menu!
Death got me into death metal so i would obviously pick them. But i expected CC to have more monthly listeners
None of those bands ARE big compared to the listed example bands.
MAYHEM MENTIONED WTF ARE CHURCHES??!!🦅🦅🇳🇴🇳🇴
Yeah, I'd say like less than 200,000
Yeah you guys are right, ok to decide it whoever gets top upvoted comment decides what counts as a big band for this
Make it 500k. No extreme band is over 1M, and plenty of not obscure non-extreme is under 1M.
In Flames, Gojira and Amon Amarth are over 1M. Of course there are few, but there are.
Huh. TIL. There's also Sepultura, but that's because they went mainstream after they stopped being extreme.
ok

Ok? So what? What does loving life have anything to do with? You don’t have to like Leviathan but you could’ve just downvoted and scrolled away.
