The Faceless, maybe? Not too into that stuff, but I think it fits the description. Not quite as brutal as most of the stuff you named, though.

In terms of brutality and melody, it don't get better than Dechristianize. just give it up.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

The Faceless works too.

Spawn of Possession has melody?

There are a lot of bands with a good dose of melody (yet brutal/technical), a few of my favourites:

Anata
Recent Behemoth
Sceptic
Pitbulls in the Nursery
Kronos, new albums sucks though
Bloodbath, recent album
Capharnaum
Decapitated
Fatal
Illogicist new album
Job For a Cowboy new album
Neuraxis
Odious Mortem
Skinless
Symbyosis
The Amenta
The Shattering
Thy Disease
Warface

I looked at you list again and you'd def like Odious Mortem, Pittbulls in the Nursery a lot.

 

[LivingCadaver]

if you want to compromise the melodic part.

Atheretic (one of the most complex thing you'll ever hear)

Pitbulls in the nursery (killer prog/brutal death)

Demilich (tech goregring)

who ask or a single band? seems fishy.....

Brutal, technical, and at least somewhat melodic (but definitely more along the lines of "brutal death" would be Screams of Anguish by Brutality. Their other albums, not so much... but Screams of Anguish is definitely a gem and has all that you're looking for... it's not BUILT on the whole melodic sound, but it does have elements of it.

Job For a Cowboy new album

lol

 

[Alter]

Odious Mortem!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[v2kv]

Opeth would be the best example in my opinion, along with Between The Buried and Me's new album, Colors.

If you look at the bands he listed, that's not the type of music he's looking for at all.

Theory in Practice. Hard hitting Technical Death Metal, whilst not being the most brutal imaginable.

If you look at the bands he listed, that's not the type of music he's looking for at all.

Well a lot of the other bands named aren't melodic; I mean I like them, but still (ie Decapitated, Skinless, Bloodbath). And as most of that is extreme metal, I'm sure he could appreciate Opeth and BTBAM.

"The Faceless" is a must own album with some killer tracks & variation between the songs.

I'll strongly second Anata and Odious Mortem.
