Technical Death Metal

[The Emptier]

I find that Oh My Fucking God by Strapping Young Lad has a similar effect

I also love Obscura mainly because of the guitarist. Christian Muenzner, I think his name is. He also appeared on the last Necrophagist album (a new one is overdue, don't you think?) and his solos on there were godly. His solo in Epitaph is one of my all time favourites, just perfection from beginning to end.



Fuck, if I could play guitar like that I'd have acheived all I'd ever set out to. I sooooo wish I was that good.

Hell yeah dude, but honestly the whole band is fucking ace, the frontman steffan kills it, he can play and sing SO fucking well, he's not the main soloist but he destroys. christian obviously pwns, and hannes...oh my fucking god i don't think i've ever been in awe seeing a drummer live besides maybe george kollias, he was so tight and fast i love his work. and of course paul thessling is a killer bassist, cosmogenesis has such an awesome balance of bass and guitars

Fuck yes. The solo in The Anticosmic Overload gets me every time. Christian is one of my favourite players, I think he's possibly even slightly better than Mohammed, but it's subjective I guess. I definitely prefer his tone, and I think his solos are ever so slightly more memorable. Fucking ace player, I would kill to be that good.



I particularly like the little sweep lick at 3:12, wish there were tabs for it.

That song is so fucking gay.

Shoot me.

Ive been giving the old cryptopsy stuff a hammering lately.. particularly none so vile, what a fucking awesome album! Is cryptopsy considered tech death? I would imagine it is.

I am so fucking gay.

Cosmogenesis is a good album. Retribution...not so much.

I would say it is a mix between tech and brutal death, but who gives a shit it basically revitalized death metal in the mid 90's.

Fuck oath! The first time i listened to none so vile i couldnt believe it was from 1996, its still so fucking heavy even by toddays standards.

 

[The Emptier]

Cosmogenesis is a good album. Retribution...not so much.

you can't even compare the two, basically separate bands altogether

My friend told me that they are brutal for the sake of beign brutal. Nothing remarkable or entertaining.

For the technical death metal part, the Aeon of Horus was the last thing I've heard from this genre. Good stuff, although I wouldn't call them death metal. Anata is more death-ish.

Suffocation's Pierced From Within

I could basically repeat the same sentence to include pierced from within. Absolute incredible album, and i dont think suffocation have ever topped it imo.
Having said that, i dont really think suffocation are tech death as such, were as cryptopsy's none so vile probably is considered tech death.

 

[ExhumedKarcass]

Gotta say can't believe no one mentioned Deeds of Flesh "Of What's to Come" Absolutely amazing album. And the new Spawn of Possession demo is on their myspace.

I also play in a tech death band. Drummer is only 15. Link below check it out.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Not sure about their other releases, but Decrepit Birth's "Diminishing Between Worlds" is a sweet Tech DM album.

 

[Inso]

Suffocation are pretty fucking technical with all the time changes and complex song arrangements, are they not considered 'tech death'? I ask because I don't know the difference too well between normal DM and this.

Hellwitch - Syzygial Miscreancy
Chemical Breath - Fatal Exposure

Dude its a very fine fucking line. As if regular death metal isnt technical enough, they go and make a sub genre called tech death. lol. Then there is the bands that fall in between like suffocation, nile and cryptopsy.
