Technical Death Metal

[nissan]

By far my favorite genre in my metal. Some people call it "wankery," and I respect that that's your opinion. My opinion is that music needs to convey feelings and at the same time be interesting. Anyways, discuss and recommend...

I'll start with Sinners Bleed... Wow

 

[zoidberg]

awesome

try capharnaum, Athiest, , Demilich, Carcarciass, pestilence.
i like jazz fusion bands as long as the jazz part isnt very dominating.

 

[Koude Haat]

anata
odious mortem
spawn of possession

 

[Scourge of God]

The obvious touchstones of the genre:

Afflicted - Prodigal Sun
Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
At the Gates - The Red in the Sky is Ours
Cadaver - In Pains
Creepmime - Shadows
Crimson Massacre - The Luster of Pandemonium
Deicide - Legion
Demilich - Nespithe
Disaffected - Vast
Golem - Eternity: The Weeping Horizons
Gorguts - Obscura
Pestilence - Testimony of the Ancients
Seance - Saltrubbed Eyes
Wicked Innocence - Omnipotence

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

[Manic Ferocity]

Atheist
Gorguts
Death (later albums)
Quo Vadis
Gorod
Demilich

Not too familiar with many other technical Death Metal bands but I guess those are the basics I'm into.

 

[Scourge of God]

early deicide isn't very technical at all

Legion is every bit as technical as, say, Necrophagist, it just emphasizes precision in rhythm playing over sweeps and pinch harmonics and other calling cards of the contemporary wanker metal scene.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

then I guess we have different ideas of what the word "technical" means

anyways, great bands that haven't been mentioned

nile
suffocation
nocturnus - "the key" - haven't tried anything else
immolation

 

[Scourge of God]

Nocturnus is basically a very simple power chord churn with shred style solos, what's technical about that?

 

[Nephrenka]

check out Atheretic's Apocalyptic Nature Fury.

 

[LivingCadaver]

Pretty much what everyone else mentionned and

Pitbulls in the nursery
Nocturnus
Spawn of Possession
Sceptic
Cenotaph (Mex)
Creepmime
Psycroptic
Theory in Practice

and I guess that Sleep Terror and Electro Quarterstaff are pretty much up your alley as well even if they are more progressive/instrumental.

 

[LivingCadaver]

check out Atheretic's Apocalyptic Nature Fury.

Atheretic is pretty much too technical to be true.

Fuck the Facts - Stigmata High-Five (not really straight up technical but it's pretty good/original)

 

[zoidberg]

i forgot immolation, thanks earlier poster.

 

[nissan]

check out Atheretic's Apocalyptic Nature Fury.

I'm happy someone mentioned this band. I love them...

 

[Psycoelectric_Mince]

Deeds of flesh.
Disgorge(usa)
Cephalic carnage.
Ulcerate. (NZ) http://www.myspace.com/ulcerate
Dawn of Azazel. (NZ) http://www.myspace.com/dawnofazazel
Hate Eternal.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

At the Gates - The Red in the Sky is Ours
Deicide - Legion
Seance - Saltrubbed Eyes

No.

But the others were good choices...

 

[Scourge of God]

No.

Uh, yeah. All three are far more technical than most of what has been discussed in this thread (Death? Nigga please!), and they are, for that matter, more technical in an absolute sense than some of the other albums I myself mentioned (Demilich and Pestilence, for certain).

 

[zoidberg]

even if they are technical , but i would not spend money on at the gates or deicide but i would spend on (Demilich and Pestilence, for certain).
