Death/individual thought patterns
Demilich/Nespithe
Atheist/Elements
Theory in Practice/ third eye function
Novembers doom
Nocturnus/The key
Atrocity/longing for death
Cynic/Focus
Sadus/vision of misery
Pestilence/Spheres

Thanx for the great response everyone. But it looks like I'll have to narrow it down a bit..

What I mean by complex is technically complex, more emperor style than opeth/aggaloch style.

But I hope the new emperor album spawns a new genre..

A lot of ppl seem to think emperor are no longer black metal.. well, maybe that's so. But whatever it is, it rox.

too many bands!!!

narrow it down.

taking a rigid position the only technical album ive heard is Cynic - Focus

 

[Morningrise]

Extol
Divina Enema
New Death (TSOP)

Oh and Kushantaiidan those three bands I named are more like new Emperor cmplez, not like Opeth. Definately check them out, I think you will be pleased!

 

[Kushantaiidan]

cool thanx

You can only hear Divina Enema at www.mp3.com they have no site or anything.

Ok im listening to this emperor cd. Right now i can tell you that it mixes elements from melodic metal and weird disonant harmonies that cryptopsy for example masters too. It is the first band ive heart to blend this 2 styles so nicely ( plus other touches of flavors ) and still sounds fairly integrated as a whole. Nice indeed but the elements do not seem new to me

The music I'm talking about is this Unbeleivably complex metal that I've only heard in a few bands like opeth and emperor. Are there other bands with that kind of music? Or is this a new thing that is yet to turn into it's own genre?

did that make any sense?

Thanks for writing about this cd. I just picked it up yesterday and I can't stop listening to it. If this is the future of "black metal" I must say I like it {the drums alone are great}.

ive recently started listening (and indeed the band i joined attempts to play similar stuff) to this kinda stuff, emporer and dimmu and such
and i definitely like where it is heading
a few years ago i felt that music was going down and down, but now with the discovery of opeth and thus my entering into this beautiful metal scene i see only good in the future!!

Thas because Trym from Emperor is an absolutely brilliant drummer. Listen to the drumming on Zyklon - World Ov Worms for proof, absolutely amazing stuff

I am watching the Emperial Live Ceremony video right now, and it is crazy. These guys definitely know what they are doing. The crowd is pretty intense, and that probably has a lot to do with my just waking up having no energy.
