| Tech Death Ranked
Tech death bands ranked in order of my favourite. Forgive me if one of your favourite is left off the list. | | 1 | Necrophagist
By far my favourite tech death. Mohammed may be a show off guitarist but I love how fast he plays, the solos are extremly fun to listen to. "Mutilate The Stillborn" is a good example of this. Romain Goulon is also my favourite drummer of all time. He has speed but more importantly, technicality. Necrophagist does a good job of switching time signatures mid riff, and I am a fan of thier odd time. | | 2 | Augury
Extremely progressive Canadian Tech death. While they might not be the fastest, they sure have alot of cool elements incorperated in their songs. I like the bass, its technical and low. The blast beats are a little dissappointing, they are overused. The vocals may be the most amazing part. The growls are epic, and the cleans sound like a pirate, but in a good way. I especially like when they layer the female vocals over the death growls. | | 3 | The Faceless
Some look at Akeldema as a deathcore album, it is in many ways, but I don't mind. The drumming is pretty good, the really feat is the song structures and composition. The choruses are well built as well as the intros. Planetary Duality is by far my favourite. They shed thier deathcore skin and swapped it for a far better, more refined sound. Fast, technical, to the point. Laided with Necrophagist and Origin infuences, a masterpiece of an album. | | 4 | Obscura
The songwork is well done, I often find their songs get stuck in my head. The vocals are raspy, but awsome. I'm also a fan of thier bassist, he's pretty sick. Probably the best band I know at switching time signatures mid riff, which is very respectable. Also, gotta love the album covers! | | 5 | Atheist
Technical, very very technical. Maaybe even to a fault. I find the vocals awful, but I loooooove the song writing. If they got a new vocalist the'd be my favourite. I am super pumped for their new album and I'm hoping they can stir up something as good as "Traced In Air." Really not hoping in another flop like Pestilence though. | | 6 | Cynic
Awsome band, Focus was extremly technical on the guitar end of things. Traced In Air was more technical on the drumming end. I was hoping Traced In Air would have more growling vocals buuuut, I was satisfied with the balance they struck. I love the elecronic vocals though. | | 7 | Gorod
Fast, creative and progressive. I love the funny things they do with the guitar. Too hard to describe them, but the little random riffs that are strung in are very cool. Solos are great, vocals are sick. Nuf said. | | 8 | Fleshgod Apocalypse
Huge fan of these guys. The operatic instrumentation and vocals are amazing. I feel like this it what Suffocation and Obscura would sound like if you mixed them together. Definatly getting their new album. | | 9 | Meshuggah
Absolute kings of weird time signatures. The drummer plays in the craziest times I've ever heard. I don't know much about guitar but it is paired perfectly to really formulate a good sound. | | 10 | Origin
These guys are kind of a gimmik for me. The speed is amazing, but if it wasn't for that I wouldn't listen to them. Vocals are terrible, the composition is ok. They are still good though, and they make my top 10. | |

04.29.10 | Great list, I like all of these except 8 and 10. | Relinquished

04.29.10 | ^lol
Good list too, Cryptopsy and Immolation are up there for me | willfellmarsy
04.29.10 | lots of good stuff here, the ordering is extremely faulted, but at least these are good bands (minus 3, who are not) | ShadowRemains
04.29.10 | listen to None So Vile, now
I'd say that Immolation is very tech, especially their latest album | R6Rider
04.29.10 | Ulcerate | qwe3
04.29.10 | Death needs to be here, Atheist needs to be 1 or 2, meshuggah needs not to be on here etc | ShadowRemains
04.29.10 | damn qwe3, you REALLY hate Meshuggah don't you... | qwe3
04.29.10 | it's not that, they're just not tech-death | ShadowRemains
04.29.10 | ...but it does seem that you dislike them a lot | Relinquished
04.29.10 | first thing I agree with qwe about meshuggah | eternium
04.29.10 | Meshuggah isn't very death metal. For one thing, the vocals are more hardcore than death growl. If they were, they should be 1.
Death and Cryptopsy should be in the top five.
Oh, and The Faceless suck. | ShadowRemains
04.29.10 | lyrics for meshuggah are more doom as well | qwe3
04.29.10 | well if you're gonna put meshuggah on a tech death then death needs to be on here | ShadowRemains
04.29.10 | The faceless don't suck, IMO | Relinquished
04.29.10 | "lyrics for meshuggah are more doom as well"
ehh some can argue about this | eternium
04.29.10 | Hell, if you put Meshuggah and Death on here, you should put Opeth. They're technical as FUCK. They're just also progressive as fuck and are far more varied. | Relinquished
04.29.10 | Now we're getting out of hand. | ShadowRemains
04.29.10 | ...indeed | bloc
04.29.10 | All these bands kick Opeth's ass when it comes to being death man. | ShadowRemains
04.29.10 | ^true | Relinquished
04.29.10 | Death rules all death though. | eternium
04.29.10 | Death is debatable, I suppose. Chuck just didn't show off his skills, like many of these bands do. | qwe3
04.29.10 | "I love Death by the way. One of my fav bands. They just arn't tech death for me. I dunno, sorry lol."
yeah but that's what they are
i could go around saying i didn't think Nas was a hip hop artist but i'd be wrong | Relinquished
04.29.10 | lol some of those said bands are pretty bad
Chuck rules | qwe3
04.29.10 | dude it's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of what something is or isn't.
if i made a list of the best metal vocalists and i put Jeff Mangum on it, I'd be wrong because he's a folk artist.
If you don't like death thats a matter of opinion, but they're definitely tech death | qwe3
04.29.10 | they're tech death | bloc
04.29.10 | Death did start the whole death metal thing, but it's these bands who ran with the idea; adding all the shredding and crazy time sigs and all that crap. Death didn't really have any of that. | Relinquished
04.29.10 | Again, some of these bands are pretty bad. | BeyondSanity
04.29.10 | The band Death is technical. And their name is Death.
Technical Death. | ShadowRemains
04.29.10 | ok seriously, this is getting annoying. Death are great, they do have great technicality, and are not on this list, so who gives a shit.... | bloc
04.29.10 | I guess there's just a lack of comprehension. | Relinquished
04.29.10 | ^ nice one | BeyondSanity
04.29.10 | I'm gonna go focus on my flesh and the power it holds. | combustion07
04.29.10 | Aside from 3 my list would be similar but include Creepmime. | combustion07
04.29.10 | lol I've heard both of their albums they are good just not one of my favorites. Also I'm actually one of the few metalheads here that doesn't hate everything deathcore, I certainly don't love it all but the genre has some great bands. | Inveigh
04.29.10 | the problem with classifying Death is that they helped create the general genre of death metal, and as they matured became much more technical and helped create tech death too. But if we're not counting them, we shouldn't count Meshuggah, Cryptopsy or Immolation either (Cryptopsy and Immolation are more brutal death imo, but wtf does it matter really).
List does need Ulcerate though, I will say that for sure. | JizzInMyPants
05.06.10 | fleshgod needs to be higher | Oceans
05.24.10 | funny how so many people say the faceless suck, probably just necause they used to be deathcore. But if he had braindrill on here, noone would care. | FadeToBlack
05.24.10 | how about no
everyone hates Brain Drill on this site | TheSpawnOfDeth
06.06.10 | I agree with a lot of the list, but Necrophagist doesn't belong at #1 and no Spawn of Possession or Anata just seems wrong. |
