I'm looking for some BM or DM that has some extremely good lead guitaring without just randomly fucking around on the guitar neck on the chromatic scale or something. I'm guessing a good example of good lead in DM would be Mohammed and Sami from Necrophagist maybe.

If you know of any others, let me know.:kickass:
 
Necrophagist is the epitome of randomly fucking around the neck, not to mention it's complete shit.
 
Necrophagist may be generic and uninteresting, but I don't see how anyone who appreciates music can call it random fucking around. There is some very melodic and skillful guitar work in their compositions.
 
Yeah, I don't really like them much at all but Necrophagist are technically quite good. If only they would make interesting music.
 
Seriously, maybe if Necrophagist actually started making music instead of masturbating their instruments to death, they'd be half good, considering they're amazing musicians, who just make shitty because all they want to do is be ultra technical. But if you want some good 'technical' stuff....

At The Gates - The Red In The Sky Is Ours
Atrocity - Todessehnsucht (not overly technical, but still awesome)
Cryptopsy - None So Vile
Gorod - Leading Vision
Lykathea Aflame - Elvenfris
Martyr
Neuraxis - Trilateral Progression
Quo Vadis - Defiant Imagination
Seance - Fornever Laid To Rest (again, not overly technical but nonetheless great)

Your recommendations were really good, to be honest. However, I really don't understand the "Necrophagist plays random masturbatory shit" argument. I mean, sure the guy really likes scales and Yngwie Malmsteen most likely, but the debut was actually all one guy, it's actually REALLY nicely written if you'd bother to pay attention and it's really just not at all random whatsoever. So yeah.
 
Necrophagist is boring. THey aren't the most boring, but atleast some of these bands could try to emulate suffocation's awesometivity.

I can see where your coming from, just Necrophagist isn't my cup of teas so to speak.

Right and I know that's what you meant, but you don't have to speak like Muhammed raped your sister and then played solos in your ear for the next 50 days. You can just say "I don't like this band" and state perhaps some reasons why. But they can't be blatantly false or stupid things, because that could be considered trolling to some extent. It also makes you look dumb :p
 
Necrophobic-Hrimthursum. Necrophobic generally has great/leads. I just feel the band is pushing that aspect more so with Hrimthursum.

Unleashed-Midvinterblot,Sworn Allegiance. Unleashed has always had some cool solo's on their old albums, but the new second guitarist is a lot more insane and is a shredder full on.

Bloodbath 'nightmares made flesh' has some neat lead guitar work. Anders has stated the new second guitarist is a shredder so am curious what they might sound like expanding from that.

Newer Hypocrisy has some great lead guitar work.
