US-based technical melodic death metal band Allegaeon turned things around from their more brutal ‘Formshifter’ album and moved to a relatively-simpler, more melodic sound on this album. For many, it was an entry point into the world of tech death, owing to its sludgier vibes which the sharp riffs seemed to cut through.Ĩ. Dave Haley’s incredibly-tasty drumming and Joe Haley’s killer riffs made for an album that received largely positive reviews. Psycroptic – ‘ The Inherited Repression’Īustralian tech death outfit Psycroptic put out their fifth studio album ‘The Inherited Repression’ in 2012, and from the intro of the first track “Carriers of the Plague” and all the way to the end, there is no lack of pristine, complex death metal. With drummer Spencer Prewett pushing the limits of extreme drumming, Archspire scored a direct hit with the album.ĩ. “Lucid Collective Somnambulation” being the pick of the songs, the band continued to make their presence felt live and online, supporting their album. They released ‘All Shall Align’ before this, but ‘The Lucid Collective’ brought them to the forefront and got them noticed. The albums that made this list are post-2000, and ranked according to how much I liked them, while taking into consideration the impact they made on the scene.Īrchspire shot to popularity with their 2014 release, an album that introduced the band’s extreme technical death metal sound to the metal scene. Inspired by the legendary Death, Atheist, and a slew of other progressive/technical metal bands and non-metal acts, the artists on this list have certainly made their name in tech death history as people who are constantly pushing not only the musical boundaries of music but the physical aspect as well. Superfast drumming, complex riffs, and mind-bending solos –the genre of technical death metal has got it all, but also places due importance on redefining compositional style and trying new things.
