I have some Cynic, PsyOpus, Psycroptic, both Necrophagist albums, A Sikth album.

Sleep Terror are pretty cool and I like some of Spastic Ink's stuff. Ron and Bobby are amazing musicians.

Origin is awesome, I'm gonna see them again July 31.

[munky_magik]

Try ephel duath and Canvas Solaris.

[Cocaine]

Ah yeah. Canvas Solaris.

Those guys are intense in every respect of the word. Their concepts and instrumentation is out of this world, almost quite literally!

thats a good thread, cheers.

does anyone have any tips on creating this type of music (i know that will be hard lol) and does anyone have any tech/math/jazz/trip/grind/death metal projects that they would like to share? :naughty:

[Cocaine]

Forgot to mention:

Capharnaum
Tetsuo

[Shadows]

I love technical death metal like Gorod and Psycroptic, but I hate stuff like Psyopus with a deep, fiery passion.

All I can say to you is be open to all kinds of music and play with the time signatures.

Tech metal is a bit hard to explain, there's a lot of versatility. I can say I have a tech band and have Samba influences, others may have a tech band and have Jazz influences, as you can see the roots of this genre are totally different.

oh man i LOVE psyOpus with a deep and fiery passion
they are acid for the ears! no i dont take acid lol i think the band must take it though!!

[Cocaine]

I agree with Shadows.

The problem most bands in this field of music is they're awwwwful songwriters. That's why I like bands like I listed, because while the instrumentation is complex and the compositions unique and varied, it's still listenable.

[Shadows]

Definitely. Tech death is about as extreme as muci can get before it turns into incoherent technical wankery bullshit.

yeh, i know what you mean. its hard, i think you just have to use your brain. iv got loads of riffs and wot not, but its just putting them all together. i need to join a band and then i guess it will be easier with everone contributing and getting more ideas in the pan. the fact that i have jazz lessons at the moment and have got through 10 years of slogging it out on the piano with my mum yelling down my ear helps a lot!! im gonna try mixing mathematics with music :smash: d.i.y lol

thanks :thumb:

[White Goodman]

I'm a huge Between the Buried and Me fan plus they are from my homestate so that's a plus. I enjoy SikTh, Ephel Duath, and Botch as well.

[Sleeper]

One of my favorite grind bands at the moment is Hewhocorrupts:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXhRCfyIc3M

[3FingeredHoek]

Textures is fantastic. Check them out.

[gillygan]

Sleep Terror and BTBAM fall into those categories?

[Cocaine]

Textures is fantastic. Check them out.
and check out my review for their latest :chug:

Sweet. Will do. :thumb:

[dfcslings]

Nobody mentioned: Quo Vadis, Cryptopsy, or Gorguts????

Come on people, give the canadians some love. Damn.

Theres also:

Nocturnus
Demilich
Behold...the arctopus
Gordian Knot
Psycroptic
Wormed
Maudlin of the Well



and ummm Dream Theater or Opeth? But those are probabally a given.

[Sleeper]

All i have to say is:

PETA is at the door and im holding a gun to the cats head

This shouldn't even be considered music for you big grind fans.

[G_Mac07]

Gorguts????

The Obscura album owns. \m/

alarum

I really need to pick up an album by them. I have two songs I got off their website (or maybe myspace, it's unimportant anyway), and they sounded awesome. Very Atheist-y. I saw them live prior to downloading those songs though, and the sound was so awful that I left without having a clue as to what they sounded like. It was the worst sound I've ever heard at a gig, being just a horrible noisy mix of feedback.

And by the way, nice to see Psycroptic on top of your list. :p

[Moses]

The best bands in this category would have to be Cleric and The Dillinger Escape Plan.

[Cocaine]

I've never heard Cleric, I'll look into them.

I have to whore my Gorod review here.

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review_8374

Why? Because Gorod = awesome.

[Panvium]

Arsis.

[dfcslings]

Arsis.

yesh!

Best Melo death band going now.

Theyre putting a new album out in september I think, its gonna be gooood.

[Neoteric]

One of my favorite grind bands at the moment is Hewhocorrupts:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXhRCfyIc3M
Haha, that was freakin' awesome.

[Sleeper]

I highly recommend the band Into the Moat.

[joe_fresh]

Neglected Fields
Iniquity
She Said Destroy
Scald
Pyschofagist

Edit: Just remembered Pavor. Furioso is probably the best tech death album ever.

[TheMisterBungle]

i love DEp and BTBAm

[UNDERAGE]

Not exactly intense grind/death, but this band is worth checking out..very jazzy and mathy song structures.

www.myspace.com/augury


and you guys left out "genghis tron"! they're awesome haha.

For more weird stuff..i recommend Naked City (John Zorn), and Fantomas.

[loathed]

cant seem to get into too overly technical death metal or too overly technical stuff in general...maybe i'll give it another try one day

[Luc214]

I like Meshuggah and Necrophagist. Maybe Athiest.

[lak89]

stuff i listen to which probably falls in the above categories are:

Meshuggah
Necrophagist
Nile
Origin
Cryptopsy
Decapitated
Dying Fetus
Exhumed

as you can see i'm mostly a death head

[MRDuCran]

:chug: I might have to look into that.

Nile
Origin

Dying Fetus
Exhumed

Same sans the Exhumed and Origin.

But I thought he meant more math/jazz metal not death.

[blueyxd]

how about Freak Kitchen, Don Caballero or Bumblefoot
they are more rock than metal but are still pretty technical
