Most complicated music

[AlphaTemplar]

Metal or otherwise, what is the most complicated music in terms of song structures, complex melodies/harmonies, arcance rhythms, time and key changes, dynamics, varied instrumentation, and so forth?

 

[Zephyrus]

i believe there's a genre called progressive metal.

 

[Base Delta Zero]

Meshuggah's got some complex rhythms and time signatures.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

shut up and listen to spawn of possession

 

[Ender Rises]

Definitely prog metal, in my experience

 

[Dän]

There was a 'math metal' thread a little while ago and some of the bands discussed in there would be fair to say are quite complex. Obviously a band like Meshuggah is renouned for the complex music

 

[Phrozenspite]

Meshuggah are mostly rhythmic and time signature based stuff...
Necrophagist is far more complex in terms of technical skill, speed, and also contrary to popular belief they don't just wank... all of their harmonies are neoclassically structured(not in the ANUS way)

shut up and listen to spawn of possession

yeah do that.

edit: wtf @ furry-ass??

 

[Xorv]

I agree with him^ Necrophagist is a complex band. If you disagree you obviously haven't heard them.

tech metal is probably the most complicated with math metal close behind

it's called "technical" for a reason. there's a fair amount of prog bands (rock or metal) that aren't that "complicated"
