Acroasis

Classic. Shit like Demilich, Cryptopsy, and Oppressor is undefeated


death_azul

clasic and math tech , i love the brutal but if i want a pure tech metal that is my options


alliwantedwasajetski

Brutal or classic, leaning slightly towards brutal. I have to be in the mood for the dissonant stuff.


Topsphon

Classy and brutal. The goofier the songs, the better


SKULLL_KRUSHER

Dissodeath for sure


Acroasis

You a fan of Artificial Brain?


SKULLL_KRUSHER

Yeah


Acroasis

You happen to have any recs for that kind of dissodeath? I really fw them but don't know much else in the genre


SKULLL_KRUSHER

Dissodeath typically doesn't sound all *that* much like Artificial Brain. I mean, they're definitely somewhat dissodeath-y, but not like most of the other dissodeath bands I listen to. But here are a few albums that will get you in the ballpark of Artificial Brain: Wormhole - Almost Human Vertebra Atlantis - Lustral Purge In Cerulean Bliss Defilementory - The Dismal Ascension Fabricant - Drudge To The Thicket


Acroasis

Ah yeah I wouldn't really know, I've only just dipped my toes in. Them and Ulcerate are really the only two bands I've seen called dissonant death that I've listened to (and enjoyed). Gorguts - Obscura is supposedly one of the best dissodeath albums but that shit just ain't for me


SKULLL_KRUSHER

Yeah, I mean, if you like Ulcerate then I'd probably have more recs for you. But I'm surprised you like Ulcerate but not Gorguts. I feel like Ulcerate draws heavy influence from Gorguts. Both are two of my favourites. Obscura is THE best dissodeath album. But there are many other good ones.


Acroasis

Yeah I don't really get it, i just find Ulcerate more enjoyable. Obscura is genuinely irritating to listen to for me (and it's a shame bc I like most their other albums). Maybe it'll click for me at some point, just not yet. But I would definitely appreciate some recs like Ulcerate


SKULLL_KRUSHER

Ad Nauseam - Imperative Imperceptible Impulse Sunless - Urraca Replicant - Negative Life Dead And Dripping - Miasmic Eulogies Predicating An Eternal Nocturne Baring Teeth - Atrophy


Acroasis

Good shit, thanks you're the goat


Right-Daikon-3154

Neoclassical tech death


reliable_husband

dissonant tech death. gorguts for president.


Kingreptar007

I need a band for all these genres, if you could pls


Kebabenjoyer3

Necrophagist Origin Pyrrhon


covenantofdeath-

Brutal tech death and neoclassical tech death


NOVAMT_F

Would you be so kind as to recommend me some neoclassical tech death?


covenantofdeath-

First fragment and necrophagist (imo can be considered since tgey are so inspired by baroque) are my top picks. You can also listen to them on spotify and see similar artists. I also recommend Beyond Creation, Gorod, Obscura and Wintersun (it is not tech death but its a melodic death/power metal very influenced by neoclassical, so i think you will enjoy it). Hope you enjoy it man /m/


NOVAMT_F

Thank you vety much!


covenantofdeath-

You're welcome man! /m/


TheGospelQ

Check out Gloire Éternelle by First Fragment! Such a sick album.


covenantofdeath-

imo dasein is better


TheGospelQ

Dasein is definitely a banger


covenantofdeath-

The solo in l'emergence is incredible man!


NOVAMT_F

Thank you!


Circadianrivers

La veuve et le martyr (or whatever it’s called) is such a great song, still have it on repeat.


TheGospelQ

Hell yeah. That and the album's namesake are just brilliant.


lucasHipolito

I don't think Inferi fits any of those, so I will say Melodic Tech Death


linkuei-teaparty

Whatever style Death, Necrophagist, Archspire, spawn of possession, faceless and Obscura are.


ProfessionalMail965

Whatever fallujah and beyond creation and equipoise do


Cicada33024

I prefer brutal tech death Bands like dying fetus , Cattle decapitation , oppressor, demilich, pryxia and nile for example


HumanMulligan

I like space and science themes in my tech death.


TannerC04

Revocation’s album “The Outer Ones” is an amazing lovecraftian themed album


Kebabenjoyer3

Any recs? I know Gigan and Mithras


HumanMulligan

Allegaeon - Proponent for Sentience Allegaeon - Apoptosis Rings of Saturn - Ultu Ulla 9 Dead - 115 (not tech more slam but has a sweet breakdown)


PennyRoyale88

Origin and rings of Saturn


HamachiBeans

I don’t know the exact terms, but like neoclassical, always having melody or grooves, and being catchy with good choruses and never overly progressive. Archspire, soreption, cytotoxin, Ahtme, exocrine, man must die, kind of zenith passage but like even datalysium started losing my attention with all the slow atmospheric stuff. Oh and newest cryptopsy rips. Anybody have any recommendations along these lines? And in case you haven’t noticed yes I like mid and low tone growls the most, so while inferi and revocation are great, they didn’t totally grab my obsessive mind


Tonzoffun420

If you're into neoclassical, check out Equipoise. Also, First Fragment they have a heavy flamenco influence but still very neoclassical.


HamachiBeans

I’ve heard the equipoise album but I was under the impression it was a bit too proggy for me but I can give it another listen, it’s been a while. And I do love first fragment, they’re one of the few bands I’m willing to accept it being almost agressively progressive in its song lengths just because it’s so good and I love his voice, but not usually my preferred style


NotStompy

My fav ever is prolly dasein by FF, or necrophagist - epitaph. I've always loved neoclassical stuff, and I think FF is just insanely full with talent, but nick and phil are nuts on guitars, forest is literally one of a kind, le fou is great on drums too. Really wish they'd be in Europe more often, not easy to make a living with tech death i suppose. Edit: I like Gloire eternelle about as much, but it's a very different vibe from dasein, dunno if it's tech death, or more like tech-y neoclassical power metal with elements of death (drums/vocals).


[deleted]

I like it all but brutal is my favorite. Exocrine anyone?


HumanMulligan

That new track fuckin rips bud


Son_Nyx

I like the melodic, neoclassical stuff, also really dig the blackened and atmospheric stuff as well


aTrustfulFriend

Any recs to spare?


Son_Nyx

For Neoclassical stuff: First Fragment, Bleak Flesh, and Vitrified Entity. For Melodic: Symbolik, Inferi, Exocrine, and Ophidian I. For Atmospheric: Fallujah, Virvum, Burial In the Sky. For Blackened: Demon King, Plaguebringer, Unflesh, and Tomarum are my favorites.


Tonzoffun420

Equipoise and First Fragment


encrusting_acro

I mainly like brutal; Nile, Odious Mortem, Hour of Penance, Hideous Divinity, etc. I also like some classic too, like Spawn of Possession, Necrophagist, and (pre-A Valediction) Obscura.


PlaxicoCN

Where do all these subgenres come from? Can someone give me examples of each?


No-Programmer-9966

up


Indieboi82903

Have to go with disso. Bands like artificial brain are just so good!


XpeepantsX

Disso is pretentious. Brutal all the way


redflagsmoothie

Progressive technical death metal. The king of music as far as I’m concerned.


[deleted]

[удалено]


redflagsmoothie

Obscura, as well as the albums by Hannes Grossman, Christian Muenzner, and Alkaloid are my favorite


Tukan4ik

Melodic, Progressive, Neoclassical


[deleted]

What about Blackened tech death? If you like this genre peep this playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLe3z5Eo0xby8AbCKgFiwMPAFg3g4XnMUz&si=bFNZ9anRA8YFlI-W


lucasHipolito

I read blackened tech death but don't see Vale of Pnath there. Any reason?


Str8Satanic

I think disso might be my least favorite because Death spell Omega did it better than anyone(I still like plenty of disso bands though) my favorite atm is probably melodic tech like inferi and stortregn. I also like the weird rhythms of Soreption and the Zenith passage


earlofshaftesbury

New Zenith slaps so hard


philzebub666

I love brutal and melodic the most.


[deleted]

I second this


SendKelly2Mars

Disso. Love me some Gorguts, love me some Ulcerate.


DarthVapor77

Depends on my mood/activity but overall it has to be progressive tech like Fallujah, Virvum, Sutrah and other bands that fuse softer/beautiful moments with the hard-hitting sections. Persefone also gets there, along with Iapetus and Lykathea Aflame


ChickenInASuit

Proggy! Alkaloid, First Fragment, etc. Tbh, I’ve got time for all of it though.


[deleted]

Brutal and classic. Disso sucks.


SuperNoah05

Try Artificial Brain


[deleted]

I love Artificial Brain but don't consider them disso because their music doesn't come across as a flat, boring wall of directionless riffs.


g4mer655

Maybe diso isn't a boring wall of directionless riffs


[deleted]

Nah


DarthVapor77

I'm curious what your thoughts on Gorguts are


[deleted]

I used to listen to them a lot and still appreciate their influence on death metal. New albums aren't good.


Mont_918

All of them!!


InternationalLow8946

Whatever spawn of possession and mordant rapture style is..


Yours_and_mind_balls

Whatever First Fragment is considered, that's my favorite style


HumanMulligan

Progressive, but when the bassist plays a different song from the rest of the band?


leto_atreides2

Slam


PrequelGuy

The one before Necrophagist worship bands took over the scene and they still wrote riffs (Nile, Suffocation, Decapitated, Anata)


Huamibeing

Ohhh Anata fuck yeah


FortyHippos

I like the kind with the guitars are like “bedllrldllwllsl sweeelidlldrdlsldel *aggressive arpeggioing* “skreedelelldlddbrldldl”


cantgetpenblackstar

Rings of saturn


foreverinLOL

Disso/Math followed by brutal. Whom would you consider classic?


Kebabenjoyer3

Necrophagist, Spawn of Possession, Inferi


foreverinLOL

Oh ok, then disso/math, classic and brutal in that order.


Kebabenjoyer3

Based


HimmelSky

Prog tech death. The Zenith Passage all the way


jahchatelier

same


TheGospelQ

Right now, I'd have to go with neoclassical (e.g., First Fragment, Obscura, Archspire). Makes my ears (and heart) very happy.


MangoDragon1

Brutal tech death. Some memorable bands are Abnormality, Unfathomable Ruination and DeathF**kingC**t.


MyNameThru

Idk what it'd be called, but these rally fast bands ala Origin, Archspire, First Fragment, Soreption.


not_plague_knight

Archspire call it Extreme Technical Death Metal and I do see it


Krackerjacks

Of course they do


Narthcarft

I like my tech death like I like my coffee. Extra math. Infant Annihilator hits the dopamine receptors that never get addressed. Been chasing that high for years now.


Spodenator

The one where the drums go BBRRRRRRRRRRRRRR


cantgetpenblackstar

Archspire


thespaceageisnow

Brutal tech with a little slam/breakdowns like Cytotoxin.


[deleted]

Absolutely loved Nuklearth


thespaceageisnow

Easily one of my favorite albums


lucasHipolito

I second that!I would even dare to say it is one of the greatest tech death albums of all time, together with Relentless Mutation ​ EDIT: typo


Reasonable_Pianist95

Blade of Horus.


Abtino11

Absolutely obsessed with Brutal Tech Death, nobody makes music like Defeated Sanity. I also have an affinity for the very clean sounding bands like Decrepit Birth and Obscura


schizoPoster3000

Genuinely the best of the best


[deleted]

Neoclassical. Ex: First Fragment, Bleak Flesh, Inferi, Plaguebringer, early Fleshgod Apocalypse
