A thread combining techdeath and Djent/Mathcore feels awkward. ;P


Hehe, I get your point. Usually metalheads are very picky, especially ones who's into techdeath, listening almost exclusively to that.. That's just not me . I just checked out Theory in Practice and... wow.. just wow.. Playing a bit guitar myself I gotta say, the stuff they write is just so.. batshit crazy progressive (mathlike, rather) :D I gotta check out more of them..

Any of you guys know SikTh? "Prog-metal/metalcore/mathcore, yet their sound is (sometimes) pretty soft (and filled with hooks)" ..So sad they disbanded.. One of their heavier songs I recommend:

Sikth - Sanguine Seas Of Bigotry (the audioquality is pretty bad on that one, sorry)


Sikth - Part of the Friction (On a softer note, a little on the emo side tho (plz dont kill me)):


Heck, their whole album Death of a Dead Day is worth a listen if you're not techdeath'er exclusively..
I declare war on the macfags and the faildows users. ENSLAVE THE INFIDELS!

I'm quite surprised nobody posted these guys, Behold...The Arctopus, they have only one CD out afaik and they are just out of the world technically and are really good at composing weird and innovative music, you can watch a couple of samples and hear these, i also encourage to DL/buy their album "skullgrind" because it is just so worth it if you like the genre:

This video is pretty bad quality but you can just see how good they are.


This one, nothing to see but you can hear their music quite well.


Let me know what you think!

Tech Death is the best kind of metal!
It's complex, violent and yet very melodic at the same time, everything I like in music.
Death is probably THE band to listen to (their last 4 albums although I would recommend Sound of Perseverance for people not familiar with the style).

My modest contribution from France : Gorod.
This band is simply amazing. They're just crazy good with their instruments but always use their technique to produce amazing melodies.

One of my favourite song from them :


A quick instrumental version of the song to showcase their level :

Also, I really need to get my hand on Animal As Leaders, I've heard really good reviews of their last album. A shame I cannot find it on Spotify

You're welcome
If you like this song, you should really check out the whole album. It has some awesome riffs/melodies... Also, the rest of the songs actually has vocals on them

This is a thread to the most boring genres in metal. There is so little variety in bands in the genres usually. They just try to be super technical most of the time and they seriously lack in good song structure.
Djent isn't even a genre. It's pretty much really technical progressive metal.
Mathcore is pretty dumb as well. The only decent thing I see from the whole scene is Calculating Infinity.
Tech death is in my opinion the most boring and generic death metal out there. Almost every band has terrible song writing abilities. Just over the top wank every song. If you want some good tech death albums check out Spawn of Possession Cabinet and Noctambulent.

Step 2: Go to the SC forums and tell everyone how bad SC is..

Step 3: Go to Facebook and post how bad FB is....

Seriously, if you dont like the genre, dont call it dumb and boring. The only thing you achieve is that you derail the thread into a useless discussion about taste and different (sub)genres

There is some good tech death out there. As with any genre there is a lot of crap but there are also some great bands to be heard.

Chuck Schuldiner was one of the greatest song writers of any genre of music ever.



Necrophagist get a lot of shit for being that typical tech death band that sacrifices song writing for flash but I don't think thats really the case.

The fact that this thread exists is pretty redundant. There is a death metal thread and a general metal thread.
How am I derailing it? I'm saying I don't like it and explaining why.

Death is pretty much Old School Death metal. Scream bloody gore, human and Leprosy are pretty damn good but after that I don't care for them as much as most people do.

In my opinion, Necrophagist is one of the main offenders of the whole tech wank thing. I used to be a fan of them but the more I explored death metal the more I realized it was pretty mediocre.

Origin has one decent album. The rest are pretty generic.

Like I said there is already a death metal thread, if you like DM you should check it out there is some good stuff posted there.

As someone who is deeply invovled in the djent community, I would like to think that the majority of informed fans do not think it is a genre, technical progressive is pretty much it. I also second the Spawn of Possession rec.

Some essential, well-written tech:




And some completely OTT, ridiculous wank, which there is a place for in my heart

Sorrry, I didnt want to sound offensive. I actually agree that one thread for extreme metal could be enough. Fact is that many metal fans really are just into one subgenre and lose interest in a thread when there is much discussion about a subgenre they dont care for. Therefor, it is (imo) ok that there are more threads for the different genres.
Most of your post sounded (to me at least) like you were just telling fans of tech death that it is dumb and boring

Honestly I just don't see why certain bands get so much praise. Like you can be technical and have great songwriting skills. It doesn't hurt to write a riff that isn't over the top wanking. I just tend to favor OSDM and stuff because of the heavy favor to write good technical riffs but not normally go over the top. Obviously there are exceptions as there are to every type of music.
Here is a fairly techy death metal band.
