[Sóti]

i've heard of of all those, but but only two tech bands on thier are meshuggah and cynic, i need i've never heard 0f

 

[TyrantOfFlames]

way to leave out words, Tindor. How about Children of Bodom? Do they count? I was going to suggest Theory in Practice, but I see you have already heard them. How about Gorguts? They aren't really as much technical as chaotic, but they are in the same vein.

Darkane,Cryptopsy

i was just about to say them. Arch Enemy is fairly technical, but i'm sure you've heard of them. i don't know. Tiamat, maybe?? or Bathory, or Nile??

 

[phon1c]

most of these bands dont seem to be technical death metal to me, except cryptopsy. I'd say necrophagist for sure, and decapitated.

Darkane not technical??

oh and btw In Flames Technical WTF???

 

[Elysian Blaze]

To that, I would add Extol, Aghora, and The Red Chord, even though they have a few hardcorish breakdowns every now and then.

@Black Heart -- I'm glad someone else noticed that bands like Tiamat and Bathory aren't technical death metal. Where's Ba'al when ya need him?

Nile

NP: Dream Theater - 6DOIT

 

[batmura]

Cynic is the best though. Focus is a masterpiece.

no, I wouldnt call darkane technical death metal. good call on the red chord, great band

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

then what would be? both klas and chris are top notch guitarrists

 

[Elysian Blaze]

Just because they are top-notch doesn't classify the band as technical death metal. I think Peter Wichers and Ola Frenning make an awesome guitar tandem, but Soilwork isn't technical death metal. Same with Mike and Peter from Opeth.

 

[phon1c]

Exactly. Technical death metal isnt just "death metal thats hard to play", it's death metal with odd timings (weird time sigs, syncopation etc), and often with use of dissonance.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

I guess then what you are talking about here is proggresive music or proggresive bands not technical, being a top notch guitarrist means that you are a technical guitarrist but if you wanna talk about all the aspects of the music (tempo changes, time signatures etc)then talk about proggresive music not technical. What I meant with darkane being technical is that they have two technical guitarrists.

oh and btw I agree with you blaze Ola and Peter are Indeed awesome

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

I see your points though but I classify things differently.

 

[Eternal_Decadent]

Cynic
Atheist
Theory in Practice
Death
Anata
Meshuggah
Pestilence
Suffocation

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

Cynic, Suffocation and Cryptopsy are probably the best of the technical death bunch i'd say. If you could call Nile technical then put them on the list too, because they rule.

K, sorry, I wasn't sure what you meant by "technical death metal". In that case yeah, In Flames, Soilwork, Dark Tranquility are out.
