Technical Death Metal

[nissan]

the bassist for Pavor is inhuman

Check out Atheretic.

Shaddap

 

[sceloporus]

Yes sir, I did. I got the Yamaha 170 thing. In black

Why do you ask?

I saw the thread on the musicians forum again and it reminded me.
How are ya likin' the bass?

 

[nissan]

I love the bass. It's just kinda hard to play you know what I mean? Especially when you're used to the guitar. Big ass frets, and you gotta press really hard.

I need some umm, effects for the bass though, because it sounds too plain, and the distortion on my amp makes it sound like a guitar. Would you recommend anything?

Do you play bass yourself?

 

[The Ozzman]

Bass is easier to play than six string electric guitar.

Apocalyptic Nature Fury is their newer one. I like it better... I know you like Sceptic a lot, this isn't that similar to it. It's more like brutal tech death... The bassist is mad... The music is kinda like Pavor but faster and more chaotic.

Definitely check out Sinners Bleed though, if you haven't!

Hmm, let me see...

Get Psycroptic - The Scepter Of The Ancients

Cadaver-...In Pains. Download it(it's OOP), go to metal-archives and listen to the album with your headphones on while following the lyrics posted on the band's page. It will take a few spins, but this album is soul-snatching musical genius at its finest.

Actually advanced bass techniques are probobly harder to play than advanced guitar techiniques. For example Steve DiGorgio's (sp) shred bass is harder to play than sweep and shred guitar. Or it is imo. And btw I play both bass and guitar. Though I havn't picked up the bass in a good year.

 

[The Ozzman]

Well, I went from electric guitar to electric bass and the rudimentary techniques were much easier to learn.

I'll agree that getting up to DiGiorgio's level of playing is very challenging, but the fundamentals are easier.

What are you implying here?

Indeed, good album!!

If you could only get one tech death album, what would it be?
I'm not sure myself, I'm still a big noob at tech death.

Cynic - Focus

 

[BlackMetalWhiteGuy]

I don't have as much tech death on my playlist as I would like. These are the few that I'm familiar with now:

Anata
Arsis
Beneath the Massacre
The Faceless
Necrophagist
Quo Vadis
Theory in Practice

 

[cookiecutter]

Intestinal Strangulation is worth checking out if you want some brutality with your technicality. They aren't completely technical, but they certainly have technical parts. Their songs are lively and dynamic so it doesn't get stale. Definitely good stuff.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

I was totally just thinking about checking them out yesterday.

I've heard some songs from this. I liked it quite a bit, any other recommendations guys?

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

If you liked that, I recommend Wayd.
