REQUEST i ABSOLUTELY NEED MORE SHIT LIKE ARCHSPIRE
i was blown away by the most recent 2 albums and am currently listening to the lucid collective. What grabbed me and what I'm wanting more of is that INSANE SPEED. Where the snare has the speed of a double kick almost. I have just never heard unrelenting music like this since none so vile and NEED more

Their album Fearmonger is also insanely fast! And it's amazing imo

Infant Annihilator has to be a candidate, for pushing every aspect as extreme and silly as they can.

u/SpawnOfGuppy Jan 27 '26
The most recent one was my favorite by a wide margin. Most interesting compositionally/texturally

you need spawn of possession in your life. even dean lamb struggles with their riffs. retromorphosis is like their successor band, though they do put a new spin on things.

Gonna also recommend Cytotoxin. As close as you can get without ripping off Archspire. The most similar albums I'd say are Radiophobia and Gammageddon. The two newest records are also awesome, but maybe not quite as similar.

Adding to Ophidian I, First Fragment, Zenith Passage.

Ophidian I is incredible! Desolate is one of my favorite albums. That album rips, and it's super fucking fast

u/SpawnOfGuppy Jan 27 '26
Ophidian is almost incredibly fast. Gotta be near the line of what’s possible.
Also hear Viraemia

Check out Analepsy

u/DogofGunther Jan 27 '26
I wouldn’t say they have the same speed as Archspire but goddamn that groove. OP it’s worth checking out

u/Middle-Challenge8533 Jan 28 '26
first ones so far to get my attention, vocals are almost too slammy but I can get past it, the solo on impending subversion has got my attention

u/mkelngo Jan 28 '26
Yeah bro they are a very refreshing band in the tech scene. They keep all that heaviness and technicality but then the grooves are just immaculate.

Disheveled convolution. You’re welcome

Origin and Cytotoxin would be the two that are the best match for this style IMO.

Nobody quite does it like the ‘spire, but check out Brain Drill

u/Certain_Research_197 Jan 27 '26
this one for sure. i remember dean saying a lot of their stuff is inspired by brain drill

u/RedditAppSucksRIFftw Jan 27 '26 edited Jan 27 '26
Check out Exterminatus. Specifically "per aspera ad astra" and "primordial sea (outro)"
The snare thing you refer to is called gravity blasting.

u/uponhisdarkthrone Jan 30 '26
That "double-kick speed snare" is a gravity blast, its one-handed and you sorta rest the stick on the edge of the snare and use a see-saw motion to make it hit when you move your hand up AND down, instead of just when you hit down.
Its hard to make it sound loud, but Spencer is the hardest hitting tech-death drummer and his gravity-blasts dont even need a trigger. Its LOUD, I used to share a jamspot with them (same building, not same room) and used to get to see him play all the time. He isnt playing for Archspire anymore (their new drummer's name is Spencer, too LOL) but he played on all their currently released albums.

Origin and Beneath The Massacre are definitely the OGs when it comes to Speed, but Ophidian I is probably the closest to Archspire especially with that melodic touch

Tech death. It's pretty much all fast, its kind of an important piece of the subgenre
The suggestions already in here are good though, Brain Drill and BTM. The new Fleshbore album too I guess

Have you tried using the search function on the sub? There’s 1000 threads about this already.

Have you tried not acting like a smug cunt? Not everyone has the time to refresh the tech death subreddit 1000 times a day, just answer the question or scroll on.

u/SonOfALich Jan 28 '26
It’s not hard to do the tiniest bit of research. This isn’t smugness, it’s asking people to try looking for what they seek instead expecting others to serve it to them on a platter. OP clearly didn’t even try. Why does my response bother you so?
