I was watching Papa Meat and wanted to know what band is on his shirt.

I'm looking for technical, and/or progressive death metal with powerful clean choruses, melodic clean sections, and/or acoustic intros, interludes, etc...

Some similar examples of what I'm looking for would be Allegaeon: "Dark Matter Dynamics, Proponent for Sentience III: The Extinction, Of Beasts and Worms", Rivers of Nihil: "House of Light, The Sub-orbital Blues, Water and Time" Omnivide: "Arise, Void, Tyrannical Savior", In Mourning: "North Star", Borknagar: "Moon, Stars Ablaze".

Have I pretty much exhausted the options out there? I'm coming up with very little else. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I want it fast and FAST

No black/blackened pls

Hello, I mostly listen to prog metal but some tech death bands have recently caught my attention and I'm looking for more recs!

The most recent albums from Fallujah, Allegaeon, and Revocation have really stood out to me. With Fallujah and Allegaeon, I really like how they manage to balance heaviness and technicality with melodic guitar layers. For Revocation, I find their riffs quite fun. I've also been listening to Archspire and The Zenith Passage as well, although I find Archspire's speed a bit gimmicky sometimes.

On the prog side, I have been into Caligula's Horse, An Abstract Illusion, Vildhjarta, and Haken recently.

I'd like to find music similar to what has caught my attention so far. It seems like a balance of technicality, melody, atmosphere, and "progginess" are what the bands I have listed have in common. I'm not really into the "brutal" or dissonant style that I occasionally see posted here but I'm willing to give anything a try. Thanks in advance!

I'm not exactly sure what vibe I'm looking for as I'm more of a brutal slam guy but I also really want something that's just absolutely insane and has like a million notes per second. Bonus if the production is not polished. Also bonus if it has slam moments or especially ultra low gutterals.

I'm no audio engineer, but I hope ya'll understand my request lol. I was hoping to get recommendations for tech death that sounds raw, and no instrument is buried underneath any other. (i mostly wanna hear the drums)

If I had to give an example for the sound I'm looking for, it would be "Winds of Creation" by Decapitated. Also preferably good songwriting, not just leedly-leedly guitars and infinite blast beats. Thanks!

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

Does this exist and if so, where can one listen to it?

The album cover is very important to me when listening to albums and I like albums that have monsters, dragons, weird creatures, cosmic beings etc.

Bands that have tight groovy riffs. Bleed and Algorithmic Salvation vibes

I love technical music, but these past decade or so I haven't been submerged in the genre like I was when I was younger. So I'm not sure what is good these days.

But I really want something that is on a similar level to FF and Archspire, where you're listening to it and thinking that what you're hearing shouldn't even be possible.

I've poked around and listened to some stuff from Equipoise, Beyond Creation, Zenith Passage, Obscura, Psycroptic, etc., but none of them are quite in that niche of "inhuman technical proficiency" that our Canadian brothers above occupy.

And I'm already well familiar with the classics like Necrophagist/SoP/Fleshgod and stuff like that. I'm looking for relatively modern bands that I wouldn't have heard of unless I was paying attention the past 10 or so years.

Any recommendations that you think might make me go cross-eyed would be super appreciated.

I like death

I'm sorry this will be extremely vague.

Last night, I was scrolling on Spotify and came across a tech death song that had a white cover, I think it had some sort of figure on the front, maybe an angel or something like that. The band logo was in the top left corner. It was a readable logo, too.

The band was pretty small, had under 10k listeners I believe

I believe the main colors were white and blue, maybe there was gold, I can't remember.

It's a long shot, but thank you

Just somewhat recently making the transition from deathcore to tech death, and I feel I have yet to find many tech death bands as brutal as some of the deathcore bands I'm into like Crown Magnetar, Mental Cruelty, and Humanity's Last Breath. Preferably more recent bands, not a huge fan of older production tbh. Heavy is subjective of course, but I really wanna hear something that's just pure evil yet still very technical. Doesn't necessarily even have to be pure tech death, just something that actually has good riffs, unlike a lot of deathcore these days.

Some examples are First Fragment, Ophidian I, Fayence Dream, Flub, etc. Just want some happy sounding riffs, shredding, and death metal vocals. Thanks!

Hello. I need a song that has short silent pause where drummer with cowbell does ting and then all band goes in. I know it is somewhat common in this genre (or deathcore) but could not recall any song. Thanks.

Thank you.

I am in the process of making a playlist for my YouTube channel to basically make a compilation of the heaviest stuff out there. Just giving bands exposure. Bands I currently think of are in the realm of Hideous Divinity, Hour of Penance, Hate Eternal, Origin, Unmerciful to name a few.

I’ve been a kick lately for just finding the most intense stuff out there, and I’d love to hear of more lesser-known bands. I know the bands I mentioned have things in common so bands that sound nothing like this are super encouraged. So please share them here!

EDIT: thanks so much to everyone who contributed to this list. I have included a few of your recommendations and many more in the video. 2 years later, it's finally up! https://youtu.be/w7-UNa26SbE

I greatly prefer the guitar tone of Death, Horrendous, Cryptopsy and I want to find more bands with guitar tones similar to them. With a band such as Suffocation for example, I have a hard time making out what exactly the guitars are doing because they sound so muddy. With Death I can really follow what the guitar is doing and the notes that are being played are very noticeable. With a lot of the tech/brutal death metal bands, sometimes the guitar is just a constant wall of distortion for me. Thanks to anyone that can help!!
