I like tech/prog death metal as the bands aren't restricted at all in what they can do so you get some very creative bands (like augury and necrophagist<< I only like their 1st album though)

Why is everybody obsessed with "technical/progressive death metal" these days?
I dunno, I like a lot of it too. It's good shit. I find myself humming riffs from tech death bands more than old-school and stuff actually. I like both equally though.

You say that you only like the first Necrophagist? I'm the opposite. Well not quite, as I do somewhat enjoy their first album, but I think the latter stuff is worlds better.

Nothing, I love them, but they're neither prog death nor tech death. They're clearly progressive metalcore. It's obvious.

I HATED epitaph. It was nowhere near as explosive or as engaging as Onset of putrefaction, it sounded more like robots playing a guitar/drum/bass solo than a group of cohesive musicians (if that makes sense)

Well I'm not too huge into Necrophagist. Onset just sounded like more of the same with some technicality. Epitaph is definitely just tech masturbation but if I'm in the mood, then it's fucking sweet.

ok......so I already like all the bands that have been mentioned so far except for Vortex (it's hard to remember everything I like sometimes), which I haven't listened to yet.
Necrophagist's recorded stuff is pretty good; I don't listen to it all that often, but they are really awesome live.

I like all the different styles of death metal; those just happen to be my favorite because I like complex music.Why is everybody obsessed with "technical/progressive death metal" these days?

Indeed. Totally agree. Shit album. Onset... owns!
Basically, yes.
onset is an amazing album, they somehow manage to fuse neoclassical + death metal and have a product that is very brutal, catchy, fairly melodic, and just a whole lot of fun to listen to. Some of the solos on there awesome, and they don't sound like malmsteen's solos (in which he just tries to play as Uber technical as possible)

I'll have to dig up my copy of Onset and listen to it again. It's been a while and my tastes are constantly in a state of flux.

Hatebreeder
Pizzicato Heartstrings
Obviously, but they transcend the typical stigma of being a metalcore band.

Even though Onset... involved a drum machine and was made entirely by one person?

Indeed, they do.
No, he's actually fucking right, despite that sounding like merely another bigdave-ism...it's my belief, also, that Epitaph sounds more mechanical and forced than Onset... which is just hilarious and ironic given the circumstances!!

I don't know how fast they are but I would definitely go with In the Woods. Omnio is one of my favorite albums of all time. It's a true masterpiece.
ya
ironic but true
somebody needs to tell the other 3 members of the band to fuck off, so we can have another great album

Actually, I don't like Necrophagist much at all but I FUCKING LOVE Only Ash Remains. Easily their best song, if not their only good one.
