Hi im wondering whats the secret behind the playing of bands like Black Sabbath and Motorhead(and alot of other bands) Do they only use power chords? Or do they use these advanced "super chords"?
Lots of P5 and P4 intervals.
Black sabbath has alot of diminished progressions, which makes it sound weirder.
About your super chords, I'll give you a quick lesson.
Say Cmaj7add9
This may sound really hard, but look at it this way.
Cmaj (ionian) scale.
C D E F G A B C D E F G A B
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
A basic triad is 1 3 5 note. + 7th, +9th, which is the octave of 2.
so when you look at the scale chart, a Cmaj7add9 is very easily made:
C (1) E (maj3) G (p5) B (maj7) D (maj9, or 2nd octave)
Hope this gave you some insight. it's really easy when you know to count higher than 10+know the scale.

Im actually finding it very hard to play standard, im trying to explore open tunings. I especially favour the open d tuning as a matter of fact open strings in general
Learn your theory before venturing onto those seas. It'll make your research harder.
