Well Im building up my Techinical Death Metal collection and im wondering what bands and albums should be needed in this collection, and thought that a thread needs to be made for recommendations on this. Im a fan of Psycroptic, Suffocation, and Cryptopsy.

Any list albums that should be inclued in the collection, bands and/or albums.

EDIT: Now we've got a lot of Tech DM bands added, make sure you go through and check if the band has been added or not, saves a bunch of repeats. Also lets get a little discussion about some of the bands.

I've recently been listening to Decrepit Birth, Fleshgod Apocalypse and Origin.

All of their work is consistently solid so you should check them out although so far Fleshgod is my favourite.

There are loads more but most people have already told you my other suggesions.


The three of them are great bands.. my fav would have to be Decrepit Birth.

Polarity is fucking crazy


Polarity is just headbang nirvana.


I mean perfect headbanging-not grunge to headbang to.

Cynic, Atheist and Death are my favorite.

But i'm not sure Cynic is really an Extreme Metal band (i mean "focus" the 2 last albums clearly aren't extreme)

Well certainly, but both bands are referenced when you talk about "Jazz-death".

Personally I love Necrophagist.. its a great band. Even though Yasmine thinks its not that technical They do great guitar-work.
And IMO they're technical enough to be called TDM lol and are really worth a listen. Epitaph and Onset Of Putrefaction are two great TDM albums.

I don't find anything wrong with being demonstrative when ur melodic and keep it right on track
sure they show their skills... but some people do like their style and im one of those and I don't really care about weither or not they are demonstrative.
I find Onset and Epitaph to be awesome albums on the TDM scene.

By the way, there is my band in the "suggestions" topic (at the end of the 1st page). The band name is Pestifer. Zines describe us as a "Tech death metal band" so I'd be glad to read a few comments.

Obscura, Gorod, Gorguts, and the latest Decrepit Birth albums are pretty technical. All the other pioneer technical death metal artists are mentioned by others.

Cool list HoboRobo, you've pretty much covered most good ones. You could add Hieronymus Bosch to that as well.Pretty cool TDM from Russia (I think).
I used to be a big TDM fan, but I've gotten quite bored of it, coz its pretty much the same stuff with all the newer bands, nothing new.
I still like to listen to a few bands now and then
Behold the arctopus (Marston is pure genius, love most of all his projects)
Gorguts
Illogicist- these guys were a really cool find, very melodic and a great bass player. Their second release wasn't that great though.
Pavor is another decent band, great bassist again
Sickening horror- their first album was awesome again sweet basslines, the second album didn't impress me that much though.
Gory blister had some cool stuff as well

I find Decapitated's first album to be one of the greats of TDM that i have heard. I think because the wrote the material at such a young age (i think Vitek was in his early teens) and could make such complex music, makes them brilliant.
