Just re-discovered them after a year-long break... Fucking incredible.

 

[slayercannibalsuffohead]

Fuck yeah! Is that the singer from EVIL DEAD?

 

[joeritson]

Fucks me, but how fucking good are they! Its like, ultra technical thrash lol
Get their album, it's INCREDIBLE.

 

[Nuno Filipe]

Sounds good but for me the best tech death with groove belongs to Psycroptic

 

[joeritson]

Psycroptic sorta go in the same basket hey

 

[Sacha]

My favorite band of all time hands down. Dan Mongrain is a genius. They all are virtuosos of thier instruments and NAIL it live too. Most importantly even with all the technicality they have amazing songwriting and hooks.

Martyr, so, so good. Tech Death with thrashy vocals.

Damn Realms, Of Reverie is one of the best instrumentals ever, comes from Warp Zone.

Dan is a genius at songwriting and theory, too. He makes great harmonies out of rarely-used modes, and everything they play sounds interesting.

 

[Chryst Krispies]

Yeah too bad Martyr gets no love in the US practically.

 

[phatfil]

wow. very, very fuckin' impressive.

Yeah too bad Martyr gets no love in the US practically.

Hey Tony, how are things man? You know Despised Icon (don't remember which guitarist) used the help of Dan Mongrain from Martyr for one of their solos? Riff was so complicated Dan broke it up into all the different modes used, the end result is great!

Things are great just got back from the tour a few days ago. Yeah I watched that webisode. That's Eric's solo on one of the tracks.

How is this band not enormous?

 

[MKS]

Sounds like WatchTower and Forbidden had a baby...........

 

[P-E]

Hmm who's their label?

Galy Records : A label from Québec, but it's not Century Media or Nuclear Blast.
Less distribution, unfortunately.

 

[joeritson]

How are they not on Century Media or Nuclear Blast

 

[P-E]

That is another question!

Never saw them live though. A show with Quo Vadis, Martyr and Augury would be so insane, pure Québec tech-death heaven.

 

[MindsinK]

Good call, man! I just bought all of their CD's from Laser's Edge...

 

[AllanD]

I LOVE CANADA! They constantly put out awesome bands. (Minus Avril Lavigne of course)

Warp Zone till death!
