Bands needed!

[Alex78]

Please suggest some bands similar to Meshuggah or Candiria, that means bands having these odd rhythms but still not drifting into guitar-virtuoso crap. You know, complicated aggressive stuff that needs some listens!

 

[Life Sucks]

Immolation, Gorguts, Athiest, Cynic, Cryptopsy, Nocturnus, etc.. All of those bands are technical, yet brutal, but they are more death metal oriented than the two bands you mentioned.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

Cynic
Extol
Psypheria
Spiral Architect

There's mp3.com pages for the first two:

http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/411/cynic1.html
http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/210/extol.html
and there was one for Psypheria but it seems it's down now.

Overall not the very best or most technical examples of each band's work but great songs nonetheless, as for getting stuff off WinMX, etc you can't much go wrong with anything off Extol - Undecieved (Time Stands Still is one of my favorites though), Cynic - Focus, Spiral Architect - A Sceptic's Universe (try Spinning or Adaptability), and Psypheria - Embrace the Mutation.

Watchtower and later Death are in the same vein only they have a more guitar lead/solos type thing going on, so I figure you wouldn't really care for them, but in case you change your mind those are good bands also.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Cephalic Carnage.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Aggressive technical stuff eh? Try Harakiri's new album Twilight of the Idols

get a few mp3 samples at www.harakiri666.com

 

[Soilent Goat]

Spiral Architect

Is one of the hardest bands I've ever tried getting into..I really cannot get into their album it's just...too much. I dunno maybe others will have a different result with their listen but I had the hardest time getting into their album that I just gave up.

 

[Extreme Deformity]

Gorguts - 'Obscura' will probably blow you away..

 

[LordFireworm]

Necrophagist
Burst
Ground Zero
Depeche Mode
And, seeing as no one else mentioned them, Dillinger Escape Plan.

[Spirit In Black]

Blood has Been Shed - Spirals, I don't really like it but the guitars sound like Meshuggah.

I it has been said before but Necrophagist - Onset of Putrication. Extremely technical, lots of stop/start shit and lots of sweeps, man it is great.

It was posted already, but you definately need A life once lost's " A great artist" if you dig Meshuggah.

Demilich - Nespithe

 

[Dusk]
