For the love of God, I'm gonna go broke...
Here's some recommendations for y'all, some of which have already been talked about in other threads, but I like to repeat myself.
Antithesis (http://www.antithesismusic.com)
Antithesis is excellent technical thrash from Ohio, I believe. Both of their CDs (S/T and Dying For Life) are excellent. You can order from the band directly, from CD Baby, or get Dying For Life from http://www.theendrecords.com.
Corum (http://www.cdbaby.com and http://www.mp3.com do a search)
Corum are good groove-oriented technical metal. Some of the songs aren't as technical as others, but I like the 4 songs that I could download.
Echosilence (http://www.echosilence.net)
Echosilence is excellent instrumental technical metal from Estonia; they are only in demo stages but you can buy both demos for $10 if you send it to them directly (I emailed them about it, they said they are CD-Rs, but they include an insert). The production on Demo '97 is weak, but Eclectic Collaborations sounds much better. The music is worth it, IMO.
Into Eternity (http://www.intoeternity.com)
Into Eternity is excellent power/death metal; their new CD isn't available currently, but I emailed him and he said he's almost done getting a distribution deal. You can still get their S/T, though.
Play Dead (http://www.cdbaby.com and http://www.mp3.com do a search)
Play Dead has kind of crappy production, but the music is excellent technical thrash. There are 2 versions of their debut, a demo, and a newer CD available on mp3.com (well, the newer version of the debut is on CD Baby). I haven't heard the new one, but the debut is excellent.
Power of Omens (http://www.powerofomens.com)
Power of Omens are really excellent progressive metal from San Antonio. Really, one of the best progressive metal bands I've heard.
Some of those were recommended to me by y'all, but I like 'em so much I'm now recommending them again. All of them except Power of Omens and Echosilence can be bought at http://www.cdbaby.com. Power of Omens I only found at http://www.centurymedia.com and Echosilence you order from the band.
