Some bands incorporate jazz fusion to their works, and is often termed technical metal.cite web | title = Tech/Extreme Progressive Metal | publisher=progarchives.com | url = http://www.progarchives.com/subgenre.asp?style=43 | accessdate = 2008-03-07 ]

Later on, many extreme metal bands began to experiment and developed an array of progressive metal fusions with other genres, including death metal, black metal, thrash metal and avant-garde. It also received a lot of experimentation and became common elements in post-metal and sludge metal bands.
