I don't think I've heard Power Metal described as an extreme metal sub-genre. You might be thinking of Doom.

I've heard every Metal subgenre but Hair and Traditional as Extreme.

I'm no expert, but I've always been under the impression the main sub-genres of extreme metal are Thrash, Death, and Black, with Power and Doom being debatable.

Extreme Metal really isn't a genre, it's just used by ridicilous people. Every person I've talked to who has knowledge doesn't use the term.

Doom is definitely debatable, but you could draw connections between Doom and the other extreme sub-genres. Power, at least to me, was on the other end of the spectrum and had more in common with Traditional Heavy and NWOBHM.

Of course, extreme metal is a term, not genre... similar to classic rock or southern rock.

Power is just traditional heavy metal taken to the next level.

Heavy Metal part 3, ergo.

I'll accept this definition.

EDIT: The second wave of Black Metal has little in common with Metal.

Opinon:

There are two many subgeneres of genres, that in their own right, are subgenres.
