The Metal Thread Genre • Page 59

Yea just checked their record out a few days ago. Really dug it, hope to see what new projects these guys land.

 

slowly getting into more death metal leaning stuff. really digging what ive heard of gorguts so far

 

My biggest issue with the new Vektor album is that some of the tracks on it just seem like they are meandering all of the place and the transitions between riffs and passages are jarring. Also, it's a hard listen at 73 minutes. Still, some of those individual tracks are also when listened to on a standalone basis.

 

Tech death is the best death. Start with necrophagist or arsis. Or cryptopsy. Or the faceless. Or decapitated

God damn I love tech death.

 

Did you listen to slaughter to prevails ep?

Super brootal

 

oathbreaker convereted me to metal

 

I always want to get into more tech death bands but I always just spin Lugal Ki En instead. That album just satisfies me in so many ways.

 

Agreed on all counts, such a damn long album. Outer Isolation is a much more enjoyable listen at this point.

 

I'm glad I'm not alone in my views on this album. While there are some awesome moments on the album, the consensus and amount of praise it seems to be getting everywhere is baffling to me.

 

So I kinda love this. It sounds like it should have come out 5 years ago, but who cares.

 

They are really great live.

 

Yeah the whole album is a joy to listen to; really technically proficient riffing, melodies, screaming, yet you can still understand the words, etc. Really fun live too. I think they're touring sometime in the next few months. Seems like they're not making quite enough money yet, as lead singer, from a recent Instagram post, appears to be a cook/chef

 

I loved the heavy bits most, tbh. He's a killer screamer.

Edit: how the HELL did I forget Moonsorrow??

 

Rings of Saturn is closer to psyopus so like...Tech noise? Haha I don't know.

I think they get unfairly criticized for their over produced sound but, at least for me, puts my ears through some shock every time I listen. In a good way lol.

 

Never heard of Psyopus. Will definitely check anyone out who gets compared to Rings of Saturn though haha. Yeah I can see why people don't think of them as tech death but at the same time I don't know what else you would call them.

At first, I didn't love them but really I think their sound is so unique and awesome. There are some truly beautiful parts on that album too. I'm ready for a new record. They are on Nuclear Blast now too so that's good for them.

 

Archspire plays a pretty absurd brand of tech death. Like, their vocalist is insane.

 

oh my god Rings of Saturn! thx guys, I had never heard of them!

it's insane but also so catchy and p good songwriting - looking fwd to that NB debut

 

I can't believe ROS started while they were like sophomores in high school.

 

Ikr. It makes me feel terrible about my guitar abilities.

 

oh my god. Psyopus rules. thanks so much for the rec @Richter915

prob forgetting some things

 

That bossk album is so good. Some massive riffs.

So much stuff I'm catching up on.

 

Oh fuck yes I did. I adore StP. That band is in a league all their own, especially their vocalist Alex Terrible (for more reasons than one).

 

so do we need a 2k17 thread or should we change the thread title
