My brother is always talking about math metal and says mudvayne is and stuff... I have only heard of it from him... Anyone hear this before?


Actually, Mudvayne was the first to be called math-metal back in 96-97 in an attempt to describe the intricacies, although there are and have been much more technical bands around, being referred to as technical long before. Nonetheless, math-metal has stuck around, most commonly used by newcomers to the broader aspects of metal, or by younger metal heds.

technical hardcore?

if you looking for bands like that, try The End.

The end?

yeah... they're cool, Canada answer for The Dillinger Escape Plan!
but ... its still lack of killer technical,... but still cool.
they now have sign with relapse, they release their demo, i m forget, maybe contains 6 - 7 songs.
the old before dilinger... i think the guys from Mastodon have start that style long before dilinger... they play in LETHARGY, and thats i guess roots of math/tech/hc like dilinger, the end, etc...
