I've herd of all of those bands, I was just talking about tech metal, like psyopus or into the moat. thanks for taking time make that list. :dj:
so what's your favourite technical death metal band?

[ten_second_infinity]

nile and origin are heavier and more technical than half the bands that you listed. :emot-wors

well, technical in time change wise, is that what you're talking about? nile doesn't have a ridiculous amount of time changes like ed gein would in most of their songs. not downplayin nile at all, they're the shit, this is all imo.

[RyanFelix]

nile and origin are heavier and more technical than half the bands that you listed. :emot-wors

Especially Arsis, wtf.

Arsis isn't technical in the way that IonD or Psyopus or whathaveyou are...not by a LOONNNG shot.

But w/e, genre tags are stupid...I'm starting to lean to the good/bad genres now haha.

[vegasaint]

so what's your favourite technical death metal band?
Shit man, I dunno... Probably a tossup between Deeds and Suffo. You?

[Shawn]

Especially Arsis, wtf.

Arsis isn't technical in the way that IonD or Psyopus or whathaveyou are...not by a LOONNNG shot.

But w/e, genre tags are stupid...I'm starting to lean to the good/bad genres now haha.
yeah but they have that sound. I didn't say that any other band isn't technical. I was saying that its that sound that most people are talking about when they say "tech metal"

[RyanFelix]

yeah but they have that sound. I didn't say that any other band isn't technical. I was saying that its that sound that most people are talking about when they say "tech metal"

And I'm saying that it's not that sound that most people are talking about when they say "tech metal"

:P

[the fucking bunnies]

the faceless

you are smart

[ten_second_infinity]

Shit man, I dunno... Probably a tossup between Deeds and Suffo. You?

Psycroptic, probably. Or older Decapitated... or Spawn of Possession..

[ten_second_infinity]

And I'm saying that it's not that sound that most people are talking about when they say "tech metal"

:P

When I said tech metal, I WAS referring to what Shawn is trying to explain to you. Bands like Psyopus, Ed Gein, and Into the Moat

[MothiNrust]

I'd recommend bands like Embrace the End, With Passion, Animosity and possibly Beneath the Ashes. They have the eratic time signatures and are pretty metal but I wouldn't say they are super technical.

[Obswalq]

What ten_second_infinity means is "math metal."

[!!BFMV!!]

As I Lay Dying is pretty technical. Same with Children of Bodom.

[sideslash]

wtf? nile and origin are death. not tech. ugh.


anyway. Basically, Bands like Ion Dissonance and Into the Moat are quintessential examples of tech metal.


other bands I would put there

BTBAM (TSC era)
Red Chord
Psyopus
Arsis
DEP
Ed Gein
Glass Casket (maybe)
Cephalic Carnage (maybe)



Basically, when you're talking about tech metal, you're talking about bands that are generally very heavy, and don't really have any characteristics of any subgenre of metal. They tend to use a lot of time changes, and a lot of technical riffs.

It seems to me that most bands that are considered tech metal are bands that kinda wish they were death, but don't want to leave behind some of the "core" elements, and tend to either lack structure, or have an affinity for having insane structures in their songs.



i pretty much disagree with this entire post.

[sideslash]

come to think of it, this entire thread is retarded.

[Shawn]

i pretty much disagree with this entire post.
I'm just going by what people generally consider "tech metal".


People generally aren't talking about just technical bands that are metal when they use that genre.

[RyanFelix]

When I said tech metal, I WAS referring to what Shawn is trying to explain to you. Bands like Psyopus, Ed Gein, and Into the Moat

I KNOW

I'm saying that Arsis is not even CLOSE to what those bands sound like.

Calling Arsis a tech metal band would be like calling Van Halen R&B, lol.

[ten_second_infinity]

What ten_second_infinity means is "math metal."

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's "tech metal"
It's even got it on the Into The Moat shirt, "US Tech Metal"

[ten_second_infinity]

come to think of it, this entire thread is retarded.

Then get the fuck out of it? I seriously don't see why you're so negative all the time, rofl. :chainsaw:
I really don't see how this thread is retarded, either. :begdn6:

[teh Mazn]

van halen is a pretty good r&b group.
























and DEP is math metal.

[skin_blanketed]

Then get the fuck out of it? I seriously don't see why you're so negative all the time, rofl. :chainsaw:
I really don't see how this thread is retarded, either. :begdn6:
Aren't you the one that hates JFAC yet posts on their board? :emot-hug:

[sideslash]

Aren't you the one that hates JFAC yet posts on their board? :emot-hug:

p0wned.

i can post in any fucking thread i want, and as long as people are doing stuff like calling arsis and cephalic carnage tech metal, and being whiny retards like you, i will continue to be negative. grow a pair and get over it.

[fritzscoot]

who else here hates being asked "what type of music do u listen to?"

[fuzzrocks5285]

The Dillinger Escape Plan
The Red Chord
Between the Buried & Me
Animosity
Beneath the Massacre
Candiria
Despised Icon
Ion Dissonance
Cephalic Carnage
A Life Once Lost
Converge
Blood Has Been Shed

[Obswalq]

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's "tech metal"
It's even got it on the Into The Moat shirt, "US Tech Metal"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Math_metal

Shut the hell up.

[ten_second_infinity]

Aren't you the one that hates JFAC yet posts on their board? :emot-hug:

nah, but I was kidding about that. they're simple, but tight. I like seeing people's reactions.

[ten_second_infinity]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Math_metal

Shut the hell up.

Did you read the first sentence? "Math metal is a sub-genre of TECH METAL." On the Into The Moat shirts, it says, US TECH METAL, not US MATH METAL. Why are you even arguing? :banana: Shut the fuck up.

[vegasaint]

YSI some Gorguts?

[ten_second_infinity]

p0wned.

i can post in any fucking thread i want, and as long as people are doing stuff like calling arsis and cephalic carnage tech metal, and being whiny retards like you, i will continue to be negative. grow a pair and get over it.

Who called Arsis and Cephalic Carnage tech metal? Haha, slap them. When I made this thread, I said Tech Metal, because that's what I saw on the Into The Moat shirts, and that's what most people call, music like that, from what I've heard.

[vegasaint]

<3 Cephalic Carnage <3
No matter WTF they are!

[ten_second_infinity]

<3 Cephalic Carnage <3

Hell yeah, one of my favourite bands.

[ten_second_infinity]

I definately don't agree with "Shawn." Seems like he's trying to explain a genre he has no experience with.

And... alot of people wouldn't generally know shit about "Tech Metal," or even the history behind it.

And Arsis play technical shit, believe it or not. Some stuff on celebration of guilt can easily be considered Technical Death Metal.

Atheist
Death (later era)
Theory In Practice
Pestilence
Cynic
Necrophagist
Martyr
Spastic Ink
Watchtower
Decapitated
Spiral Architect
Suffocation
Augury
Arsis
Behold...The Arctopus
!T.O.O.H!
Quo Vadis
Sleep Terror

ect...

He didn't say technical death metal... he said TECH METAL.

[Shredi]

He didn't say technical death metal... he said TECH METAL.

So you don't consider any of those bands within the genre of Technical Metal at all?

I mean, Spastic Ink, Watchtower, and Spiral Architect are so Tech Death. :emot-roll

[Shredi]

As I Lay Dying is pretty technical. Same with Children of Bodom.

HAHAHA

[M. Diddy Oien]

As I Lay Dying is pretty technical. Same with Children of Bodom.

God Fucking Damnit.


anyways. my view point on the subject. these bands deserve the category "tech" metal. because when i listen to them, they are not only crazy, but keep the same structure that the broad genre of metal has, some have a death influence too.
bands like conducting from the grave, cloacal kiss (props shay, i love you guys), Bodies in the Gears of the Apparatus, Despised Icon, !t.o.o.h.!, With Passion (vomit), Into the Moat (vomit), Spastic Ink (more old school though), The Concubine, The Red Chord, The Sawtooth Grin, and more.

Bands that are the more generic tech are kind of predictable but still kinda fun to listen to. lots of dissonant chords, and weird breakdowns, mixed with the dissonant chords. lame, but anyways bands like 2 o clock Girlfriend, See You Next Tuesday (thanks FASSW alex for introducing), Flesh and Blood Robot, The Locust, the #12 (vomit), and some others i cant think of are just in a more generic brand of tech. now remember this is all my opinion so don't talk shit just yet.

but bands like Psyopus, Behold...the Arctopus,, Ion Dissonance, and DEP (older stuff) in my mind deserve the title of that famous "math" core genre. i hate genres though, im just listing similar bands to me.

and bands like BTBAM, Glass Casket, Reflux, A life Once Lost, Embrace the End, Animosity, Crowpath, The Taste of Blood, Prayer for a Cleansing, From a Second Story Window, and Through the Eyes of the Dead seem to fit into a more core version of the tech genre. i don't know why, its just when i listen to them thats where they go in my head. they kinda sound alike anyways. And sometimes i think Despised Icon and The Red Chord fit more with these bands too. Maybe a little more, not sure yet.

Beneath the Massacre, Decrepit Birth, Psycroptic, Trails of Anguish, Decapitated, Gorguts, necrophagist, Origin, Cattle Decapitation, Cepharnaum, Cryptopsy, Nile, and Sleep Terror go in the genre technical death metal. cause its obviously death metal, and its also obviously technical as fuck.

it took me along time to post this. hope it was informative!

[vegasaint]

As I Lay Dying and CoB are about as technical as an abacus.

Shit that reminds me imbro, I need to get that Flesh and Blood Robot (did they get signed yet?) and Bodies in the Gears of the Apparatus from you.

[ten_second_infinity]

So you don't consider any of those bands within the genre of Technical Metal at all?

I mean, Spastic Ink, Watchtower, and Spiral Architect are so Tech Death. :emot-roll

No, no, I do consider them technical metal... but, why don't you get what I'm saying? tech metal.. on the ITM shirts... us tech metal, bands like into the moat.
all those bands you listed are technical DEATH metal bands.. not just tech metal bands... i don't know how to explain it any other way.

[skin_blanketed]

Just stop trying...he doesn't get it.

[Shredi]

No, no, I do consider them technical metal... but, why don't you get what I'm saying? tech metal.. on the ITM shirts... us tech metal, bands like into the moat.
all those bands you listed are technical DEATH metal bands.. not just tech metal bands... i don't know how to explain it any other way.

LOL! All the bands I listed are Technical Death Metal? NO! Spiral Architect, Behold...The Arctopus, Spastic Ink, and Watchtower are not Tech Death.

Do you even listen to these bands? Jeez.

I was only repeating bands that commonly get called tech metal.

thats pretty much what i was trying to say. just a much less clear and explained way on my part.

I wasn't talking about those bands, I was talking about the ones you listed before. You piece of SHIT. :emot-boun

"I mean, Spastic Ink, Watchtower, and Spiral Architect are so Tech Death."
I take it you were trying to be sarcastic?

[M. Diddy Oien]

As I Lay Dying and CoB are about as technical as an abacus.

Shit that reminds me imbro, I need to get that Flesh and Blood Robot (did they get signed yet?) and Bodies in the Gears of the Apparatus from you.

ill get on that post haste. do you have the despised icon/bodies in the gears split? cause despised icon was the only one in the ysi thread that was on that post. so i could just ysi the bitgota half of it, or the whole thing, and the rest of their shit. whichever you want.

Getting into an angry internet-fight over categorizing a band is fucking stupid.

[TomIsFasterThanYou]

Yeah dude. Ion Dissonance is definately mypeniscore.

man...there sure are alot of blank_core genre's.. i remember when there was hardcore..

[Scrote]

Dude, there's still Hardcore... and there's still Metal... and most importantly, there's Jens Lekman!

Meh @ Everything else. Even hardcore, lol.

[Grim and Frostbitten]

well, it is alot easier to say "metalcore" then it is "well, they are kinda metal, but they have breakdowns and two-steps."

[Scrote]

STFU, n00b.

[vegasaint]

Spawn of possession /thread
Their new album looks to be the shit. Heard a few tracks on the Neurotic Records website, Ten Second Infinity turned me onto the site, and those tracks were brutal as fuck.
