Tech Death

[GrayRain]

Been really digging tech death lately, but I need to expand my repertoire. I really like Individual Thought Patterns by Death and Darkthrone's one tech death album, Soulside Journey. I checked out Unquestionable Presence by Atheist, but I didn't really like it that much. Wouldn't be terribly surprised if it grew on me though. So, have at it! What's your favorite tech death band/album?

 

[Dak]

Martyr - Warp Zone
Gorod - Process of a New Decline
Decapitated - Organic Hallucinations

 

[TartanLlama]

Gorguts

 

[Lifewithoutpain]

Hey, we get to name all the tech bands again!

Anyway, bands similar to Death (I think there was a thread on that recently too...): Illogicist and (the already named) Martyr are two of the most similar. You can try the Disincarnate album as well; it's not in the same vein but is very riffy and has great solos. Oh and Gory Blister, they even do a Death cover.

 

[GrayRain]

I love Gorod, really like Martyr, and Decapitated is alright but I couldn't get into it as much. Haven't checked out the others, but I will soon. Good suggestions, keep 'em coming

The only tech death band I listen to (and I'm going to get bitched at by someone, because they're not "technically" tech death) is Augury, and they're pretty fucking sick.

A friend of mine just recently started playing Gorod for me. Really awesome stuff.

 

[Krow]

Anata - Dreams of Death and Dismay
Mithras - Worlds Behind the Veil
Carcariass - E-xtinction
Cerebrum - Spectral Extravagance
Gory Blister - Skymorphosis
Decrepit Birth (they have alot of Death moments, so you'll probably enjoy)
Theory in Practice - Colonizing the Sun
Trauma - DetermiNation
Quo Vadis - Day Into Night
Psycroptic - Scepter of the Ancients
Scrambled Defuncts - Souls Despising the God

 

[Dak]

Gory Blister, later Death, Carcariass, and Augury are all good recs.

Traumu - Determination is a great album but I don't really consider it Tech Death.

[HamburgerBoy]

Probably Atrocity's Todessehnsucht, since Elements and Focus are both quite light on the death metal.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Darkthrone? wtf? am i missing something here?

Apparently you missed Soulside Journey, you boob.

 

[The Emptier]

apparently, i've always skipped them because i thought it was retardo-black metal

Man Must Die, The Faceless, and The Chasm are my favorites of the genre. And ignore the stupid name of R.U. Dead?. Their music pretty much laid the foundation for bands like The Chasm.

 

[The Emptier]

Man Must Die? you're fucking joking...they are boring as shit and more death metal/fagcore than anything....

prostitute disfigurement is fucking ace...i dunno if it's that technical though

 

[meaperson333]

Don't listen to a lot of tech death but Cynic and Obscura are pretty good.
Also I'm not sure if it's "technical" but Behemoth is pretty ace.

 

[GyakuSatsu]

Seconded for recommendations of Theory in Practice and Pavor (Furioso album).

 

[Vithon]

Man Must Die? you're fucking joking...they are boring as shit and more death metal/fagcore than anything....

prostitute disfigurement is fucking ace...i dunno if it's that technical though

What? Have you heard their No Tolerance for Imperfection album? The first three tracks especially are killer, and I see no deathcore in them.

But Descendants of Depravity seems like tech death to me...

 

[The Emptier]

i dunno i only have the new one whatever that is


and i've been listening to the new decrepit birth..i've always had mixed feelings about them, honestly i hate the guitar work it's really lame death style riffs but way faster, and the delayed up the ass cheap sweeps get annoying as fuck...it just seems a guitar fixated band, nothing else stands out

Gorod - Process of a New Decline

Checking this out for the first time now. Really enjoying it so far.
