As for myself, I'm at a tie between Martyr and Psycroptic. Both are bands I was introduced to recently, and both are very solid. I guess I'll go with Martyr at this point. Their music hit me faster than Psycroptic's so I'll go with them.
What about you?

Written by Guib on 25.09.2009 at 15:38 When it comes to technical death you guys do have a good scene and long ago also influential with Gorguts. But for thrash it's a bit of a hit and miss, same for black. As for doom... I can only think of Longing For Dawn I enjoy and Nadja for people who like drone more than me.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 25.09.2009 at 22:42 Ok ok maybe our thrash isnt that good, but you cant deny the fact that (once upon a time) bands like Voivod, Annihilator, Anvil and Exciter were still rocking your balls off ? werent they ?

Written by Guib on 25.09.2009 at 22:45 You forget Infernal Majesty. But that's why I say a hit or miss affair. The ones you mentioned plus INfernal Majesty were my favourites back in the day. But actually only Voivod kept on putting out good albums the rest went downhill quickly after their first couple of good ones. And unfortunately those are the only bands that released great thrash albums.

Written by Guib on 25.09.2009 at 22:50 Get hold of their debut None Shall Defy and the answer will be yes. Also The One Who Pointed To Death is good.

I Picked Pestilence. I think they're great! There were a few listed that I'm not familiar with and a few others I actually don't like. I've seen Athiest a few times...umm correct me if I'm wrong but they seem like more of a thrash metal band, not tech-death.

I guess you never heard Unquestionable Presence (one of the best tech death album ever made).. the Jazz influence on that album and all the musical work behind it makes them Technical DEath listen to the bass and the drum youll understand

Written by Guib on 28.09.2009 at 17:01 no I haven't heard that one. Their sound is very thrashy live though. I'm just going by what I saw! I'll check that one out though.

It has to be The Faceless! Anyone on this board who has not heard of them needs to listen to them now! Hands down, the most creative and talented band I have ever heard in this genre.

The choice was hard but I finally settled for Augury.Gotta support the local scene plus the guitar and bass work are more tight than a none.

Atheist's unquestionable presence, death's symbolic or cynic's focus... it's a hard choice indeed.

Written by whatsacow on 01.07.2010 at 02:01 I wouldn't call either Symbolic or Focus technical death metal. Focus is absolutely weird, and I am not sure how to classify it, but progressive death is probably the closest. As far as Symbolic, it is about as technical as Iron Maiden.

Cynic's Focus is almost a Progressive Jazz metal with some screams lol. I saw them live, they were quite weird. For me, it goes: 1. Decapitated (Poland) 2. Death (USA) 3. Obscura (GER) 4. Necrophagist (GER) 5. Nile (USA) Sure some are not straight Technical Death metal like Death and Nile, but they still are close. I've been getting more and more into this genre over the last 6 months. Love the wanking instrument skills!!!

My vote definitely lies with Necrophagist. Their songwriting is , well by definition technical, but not to the degree where they lose the listener. Awesome live as well.

Beneath The Massacre is a close second behind Necrophagist in my personal opinion.

All those bands mentioned are technical death metal as well, however DF and Nile are probably the most technical ... CC and Krisiun and Immolation are more brutal than Tech.

Cannibal Corpse have some highly technical songs. Pat O' Brien's music in particular, is usually very obtuse and technical. Whether as a whole they are "technical death metal" is debateable, but they for sure have some very techincal stuff. hehe
