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.

Anomalous - Ohmnivalent (2011)  One of the more inspired and complex albums of tech-death I've ever heard.

Really? I wouldn't call it inspired or complex. :/

It isn't the worst tech-death I've heard but it's definitely nowhere near the best. Kind of screamed "average" throughout the album.

Account deleted Written by Misfit74 on 23.11.2011 at 03:14 Not usually a fan of tech death as most of it is self-absorbed or sterile but somehow that album is SO self-absorbed it actually works, like a pure showcase of dense technicality. I listened to it much like I would a noise record, more for texture than for instrumentation; I remembered nothing of the structuring, just blasts of sound separated by some Meshuggary clean soloing. I liked it at any rate, I think it has a lot more personality than the Obscuras and the Beyond Creations of 2011.

Check out Demisery, they're not exactly technical death metal but they are "technically inclined" at any rate and definitely very noteworthy for it. The solos are fucking amazing. If anyone is familiar with the recent up and comer in the technical metal world Keith Merrow, this is his death metal project he's doing with a friend of his to pay homage to the death metal bands who inspired their playing styles early on.

Well we've discussed a lot (and not only in this thread) if bands like Necrophagist and Brain Drill are overdoing it a little and sacrificing every last bit of musicality for their technicality...well, it'll be pointless to start that all over again so let's just forget about it. Decapitated are epic and i would like to add Psycroptic, Spawn of Possession and Monumental Torment here too (i don't remember if they have been mentioned before, and to be honest with you guys i'm too lazy to check it right now) xD

I 2nd Monumental Torment, their album 'Element Of Chaos' (2011) is excellent.

I still think Archspire is the best and most underrated of all the recent tech death upstarts...

This looks like a fairly old thread. Anyone mentioned Allegaeon? Their double album from 2016 'Proponent For Sentience' is a great, ambitious piece of work. For me it falls somewhere in the tech-death/prog-death subgenres. They're touring Europe with Obscura (who I know have been mentioned) which is why I checked them out recently.

Written by gavdann on 25.01.2019 at 13:00 They definately do belong here. Saw them last year supporting Ne Obliviscaris in a small club in Cologne/Germany and they outperformed the headliner in all categories. It was refreshing to see a down-to-earth band consisting of outstanding talents NOT dedicating their skills to pointless guitar wankery and/or unnecessary gimmicks. Their new vocalist Riley McShane surely is a win and the YT videos of their guitarists' (Greg Burgess and Michael Stancel) performance are well worth a closer listen.
