Curse You All Men!
Some bands just can't make the transition from live to wax. Not sure why.
I think some bands just never find the right producer to bring out the best aspects of their tunes on record.

So what would you two say about this track?

edit: ... thrashy? Not "pure" death metal?
I honestly want your opinion on this BurgerBoy.
Crappy? Agreed. Generic? Not so much. They were practically the first real "tech-death" band. I'm not talking about early technically inclined death metal like Death, Suffocation and Atheist ... im talking about the latter "tech-death" sound which we hear more often today, which they pretty much spawned.
I find technical death metal to be really forgettable music. I wont go into my normal tirade on it, but there's very few bands I can stomach listening to in the genre. I feel like it takes the parts of death metal i like and strips them from the sound. It tends to rob the music if its heaviness and any noticeable atmosphere.
Pretty much all the best tech-death/"technically inclined death metal" is glorified tech-thrash anyways
Ok HB I do have to take exception to that one. Do you mind explaining that claim? Do you have any examples, maybe some videos or something because that just sounds ridiculous to me.
lololo.
edit: "OG tech-death" never demised ... Atheist, Gorguts, Pestilence etc are all still releasing albums along the lines of their earlier work and sound almost nothing like "tech-death". It's just that "tech-death" kind of blew up and gained a lot more popularity with Necrophagist, that's why there are far more "tech-death" bands today. And there was never really more than a handful of technical death metal bands in the early days anyway.
edit: So Spawn of Possession, one of the best examples of tech-death, is glorified tech-thrash?![]()
last page and a half is shit.
Fuck tech death and fuck the rest of you. Except Kara.
