hat?s the difference between technical death metal and progressive death metal? To me, it?s the melody and focus on actual songcraft that sets progressive death metal apart from technical death metal (and generally makes it more enjoyable). The Selected Breed has the prerequisite melodies and focus on actual songs, but it takes things a step further by crafting excellently dark atmospheres. Of course, The Selected Breed also has plenty of crushingly heavy sections and rapid-fire percussion, as well as the ferocious growling that is also a prerequisite for any band wanting to call themselves death metal. The Selected Breed is melodic, aggressive, atmospheric, and diverse. Everything a good progressive death metal album should be. It has an excellent production, too.
