What bvand do you think is the most technical? you know, that band that you always move you hands as if you were playing the song but you know you never will. mine has to be Brain Drill its just so insane, period you cant see another band that plays that intense and make it acrually sound good.

When I think technical I always consider like... Bands that use polyrhythms as the most technical. And, with that in mind I would have to say that either Meshuggah or Opeth would take that cake for me.

Leaning towards Meshuggah though...

The only band that I have thought " this is to technical...make it stop " was when I was listening to Atheist for the first time

Necrophagist gets quite crazy. from all the bands i've listened to so far, i'd say they are the most technical one.

That's what I thought/still think about Gorguts. There's a fine line between music that is aiming to be overly technical and that which achieves this yet is incoherent.

I can't answer the question but back in the days when me and my friends used to cover songs and thought about Dream Theater or Opeth it always ended with: "Ah, fuck it... doesn't matter... let's play The Trooper again".

Viraemia?

Psycroptic, Necrophagist, Gorod when you say technical i think about Technical Deth Metal bands, but i think maybe Dream Theater are the moast Technical Metal Band.

I'd second Meshuggah. Once I tried to play a Meshuggah song using guitar pro. It drove me crazy. Too technical.

Often overlooked

Protest the hero maybe...

BTBAM and SIkth are more technical I'd say. But still, awesome band.

The most technical thing i own is probably Blotted Science.

Probably Motley Crue. Crazy shit.

Or Necrophagist.

If you rule out bands because of weird looking singers, you may find a lot of bands you dont like


PS Watch the video for Protest the Hero- Limb for Limb and let me know if the dancing is manly enough

but its not because of the look, its mainly the vocals... I don't like it

Brain Drill or Necrophagist, maybe Origin

I would second The Dillinger Escape Plan only i would pick a different song.
"Black Bubblegum"
Or I'd go with Meshuggah too. lol



is it just me or is this funny ?---->

Cryptopsy by far.

I find their "...And Then You'll Beg"-era work to be particularly stunning in terms of technicality. Nothing I've ever heard surpasses it.

I can't pick one definitive winner (how would you excatly measure anyway), but adepts (some already mentioned) would certainly be: Behold the Arctopus, Psyopus, Meshuggah, Origin, Disharmonic Orchestra and lately I've heard live also Animals As Leaders and they were crazy with their 8-string sticks

I haven't seen Spastic Ink in this thread. It's not strictly metal, and it's instrumental, at least on the first album. But it is the most insanely technical rock music I hvae ever heard.

Try with Illogicist

Tech death has a lead in this category. The most insane I have heard is probably Atheretic. Other contenders include Spawn of Posession, Meshuggah, Atheist, and Blotted Science (the latter is not tech-death!).

Psyopus


JESUS, STOP THIS SHIT ):

Well for 'good and most technical band(s) that I listen to':

Decapitated
Soreption

Some others that may also qualify from my arsenal:
Obscura
Suffocation

Brain Drill are the most technical band I have heard, But they are technical to the point of being annoying.

I agree with the dislike. IMO these vocals are not metal orientated. Clearly the music is metal and I like it but the vocals ruin the whole song. Can someone explain why these "soft/lame" vocals are acceptable and or popular.

Viraemia?

Definitely Viraemia.
