Written by Guest on 17.05.2012 at 23:58 To be fair, I can see why they would be the target for a love/hate crowd. I like them, but the hardcore-like vocals coupled with the relatively weak production (compared with Beyond Creation or Quo Vadis) could be a tipping-point for certain people. Still...tech-death is tech-death and when Canadian tech-death is on the table, then it's kind of hard to pass out.

Account deleted Written by TrollandDie on 18.05.2012 at 00:13 Well I don't like Warp Zone and am someone definitely sensitive to -core vocals in this kind of music, yet somehow here they don't bother me. The production does appeal to me though. Shiny production on tech-death is the biggest faux pas to me.

Written by Guest on 18.05.2012 at 00:16 Understandable too, although I'm the opposite. I like my production strong and thicker than butter. It differs from band to band but I feel that usually the shiny approach works better. The only tech-death group I've seen 'non-shiny' work well for is Atheist, but even their classics could do with a major facelift. Coroner for ''RIP'' too (although they're more tech-thrash than tech-death).

To say a band of this caliber "sucks" is darn right rude! Their musicianship was absolutely incredible. I've seen them here live 3 times and I was not disappointed by any means, even when they were missing a guitar player for one of the show's they were still awesome! There comes a time when politics and personal issues become the demise of a band...been through it a few times. I wish these guys well in future endeavors, hope to see them all resurface soon and I'm sure they will with Quebec's growing death metal scene R.I.P. Martyr??

Written by Troy Killjoy on 17.05.2012 at 23:25 Martyr is too fucking good to say they suck. Its not wank tech death like brain drill, but its some of the most complex music I've ever said. You can say you don't like them though. ;] Yes, I'm a fanboy and proud.

Written by Grody2themax on 23.05.2012 at 05:11 I can also say I think they suck.  Not a fan of Brain Drill either, and to be honest most tech-death doesn't do anything for me, but the vocals and production have always turned me off.

To me Warp Zone IS the fucking modern tech death masterpiece and milestone, like everything before was just experimentation with tech death. You can give me any names but DUDE it was released in 2000... No shit was that good those days...
